On Tuesday, my kids and I tie-dyed aprons and tee-shirts, which I will post about in the next day or two. On Wednesday morning, I shot a video of how to make tie-dye milk and I would love to hear what you think. This afternoon, I’m planning to do another version for my science-only website kitchenpantryscientist.com , that’s directed more at kids than parents. (The goofy song at the beginning is obviously for kids.)
I shot it with an HD Flip camera. These relatively inexpensive video cameras (I think they’re around $150) are easy to use. The camera plugs directly into the USB port on your computer. From there, it’s simple to crop and paste segments together to make a “movie.” You can even upload directly to Facebook or Youtube using the software that comes with the camera. I was able to shoot the video and have it on Facebook in less than an hour! We were given the camera to shoot the I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter video, but they aren’t paying me to review it. I love the simplicity of the camera and the software. With three kids, I don’t have time to take classes or mess around with video editing software.
Let me know what you think of my video. If you have a video camera, try making your own family movie! It’s creative and lots of fun!
