I was checking out Flipcams tonight because I think they're neat and I'd love to be able to film some of the areas we visit in Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines on the upcoming partner trip (no identifying safehome details though, of course!) The price is actually pretty reasonable ($179 or $229 for HD, it looks like) but unfortunately not in the budget cards at the moment!
What's really cool about the particular model I was looking at was that it's the Witness.org Special Edition. You might remember when I posted about Witness.org in this post back in December--they use "video and online technologies to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations." Now they have their own specially designed flipcam with their logo "See it. Film it. Change it." emblazoned across the front. Oh yeah--and for every version of this flipcam sold, Witness.org receives $10.
So amazing--love that idea. We really do change when we see things with our own eyes. That's what makes this upcoming trip so exciting, moving, and so challenging. Maybe someday I'll get the chance to post some Witness.org-worthy flipcam footage here, so we can all take a shared look at the hard things and change can keep on a'coming.
