Get Seen

Interview Transcript: Brian Shaler: Hey, I'm Brian Shaler and I have a Flip Mino HD just like what we're filming this on and one thing that bugged me about it was that if you hold it at arm's length, it will crop really tightly on your face when it's the type of camera where you want to be able to see a little bit more, you want to be able to get everything in the shot and it also can't focus very closely. So, when you blow this up, it can be kind of blurry when I'm this close. So, I just got this wide angle lens adapter with a magnetic ring and I superglued it on and now it just sticks on like that. So, pretty good difference. Steve Garfield: Oh yeah. Okay, so let's see if I can get it closer. Okay. Brian Shaler: Oh yeah. Steve Garfield: It would have been like that. Brian Shaler: Yeah, before and after. Steve Garfield: Okay. Brian Shaler: Awesome. Steve Garfield: Great. Thank you. Brian Shaler: You're welcome.
