Earlier this month, I got to work on a fun assignment for one of my clients. The project? To video blog the Timberland store opening down on Newbury street in Boston. I posted the vblog below, so I could share it with you guys. What do you think? The objective was to have fun and capture what it was like exploring the new store (and this content would be shared with the existing Timberland Facebook and Twitter fans/followers). Toss your thoughts in the comments if you’d like. Don’t shy away from telling me if you think it sucks, either. No seriously. Hopefully it doesn’t
**update** it was cool to see this come through on Twitter, from someone i don’t know following @Timberland:
I’ve been really impressed with the results of the photo apps I’ve been using on my iPhone. Which goes to show, you shouldn’t underestimate the power of a camera phone’s photo capabilities. These two photos below, I shot, edited, and uploaded entirely with just my iPhone. Total time to shoot + edit + upload? < less than 3 minutes. Pretty crazy huh?
If you’re wondering what apps I used, I edited the photos with the CameraBag app and the TiltShift app. Big shout-out to Glen for posting a comment on my original TiltShift app review blog post, it was how I discovered my fav’ed photo app, CameraBag! Check ‘em out if you haven’t already, they’re both great!
This shot I took at my birthday dinner with my sister sapporo + sushi = heaven on earth (it’s the little things in life right? beer is pretty awesome…)
I took this photo on a business trip, on my way to the hotel, late at night in Boston. Don’t worry, I wasn’t driving. Promise.
So while I was in Boston, I had some time to kill after I got off my flight before I could check-in. For those of you who follow me you may remember the Twitter message I sent out:
…minutes after I hit the ‘send’ button, both my followers from Boston responded to my message (see their responses below) and other folks who are simply tracking “Boston” responded to my tweet as well! @ChrisBrogan even sent me a direct message I knew that the advice of what to do in Boston from real people on Twitter was much better than those silly marketing brochures sitting at the information booth. So thanks to Twitterville’s help — I ended up checking out the view at the Prudential building, went and visited the Apple store (and recorded a video blog on an iMac there) and grabbed a snack at Faneuil Hall. Thanks everyone!
Flew into Boston today and myself and Ben (friend I work with) had some time to kill before we could check-in to our hotel. When we saw how big mammoth the Apple store here in Boston was, I couldn’t help but want to check it out. While we were there, I figured why not shoot a video blog on a new iMac and have some fun with iMovie!
P.S. while I’m a PC fanboy at heart, I don’t hate Macs — they’re great computers.
