Notes from Laura: Some interesting ways people are using Krowds – that you might want to steal! August 1st, 2013 / Comments: 0 Over the past several days, I’ve been browsing through the many, many Krowds that have been created using our Krowds app, and I wanted to share some of the really cool uses I’ve come across. If these might work for you, please feel free to steal the idea! Music teachers showing off their students’ progress: a few music teachers (piano, violin, guitar) have started Krowds to feature the progress their students are making as they go from Chopsticks to… › read more
Infinite Possibilities: Creative Commons and Video July 29th, 2012 / Comments: 0 Want to get creative with your video projects? Check out Creative Commons. You might’ve heard of Creative Commons, or “CC”, before. It’s a version of copyright for the digital age – a world where everyone and anyone can be a creator. It can be applied to music, words, video – pretty much anything that would be subject to normal copyrights. The difference is that it gives creators an easy way to license their work for use by others –… › read more
Flip Camera User? You’ll Flip for Pixorial! April 12th, 2012 / Comments: 0 You might remember the Flip Camera – a handy device that caught the attention of both video enthusiasts and casual users. After selling in the millions, the camera and its FlipShare integrated cloud storage service were eventually discontinued. If you happened to be one of those Flip Camera users, you were left high and dry. Videos that were previously stored on FlipShare no longer have a home. The good news? We can help! We understand how important it is… › read more
Lost Video Moments February 23rd, 2012 / Comments: 0 We all have those moments in life when we plan our best and still manage to fail. One time my daughter and her father were sharing the stage in front of hundreds of people to play a song together for the first time. This was her big moment. I planned accordingly. I sat in the front row. I brought my nice video camera. I even brought a back-up camera. I found an outlet to make sure that the camera… › read more
Spring Break – Making Memories March 22nd, 2011 / Comments: 0 Spring Break is quickly approaching and for some it might already be here. Where you go and what you do on Spring Break is not important. What is important is how you preserve those memories. Remember what it was like that first day of the break when you looked up to a perfect sky, playing in the street with the neighbors, getting covered head-to-toe in grass after rolling down the highest hill? These are the moments when life seems… › read more
Bringing Video Memories to Life February 18th, 2011 / Comments: 0 I recently converted my old home movies after discovering a box of videos at my parent’s house. Obviously I get how the process works given my role at Pixorial but I can honestly tell you that I was not prepared for the emotional experience. Without sounding too cliche here, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, well those video memories were worth more than words could possibly express. Moments captured in 1989 had new meaning for me… › read more
This Valentine’s Day Say “I Love You” with Video January 31st, 2011 / Comments: 0 Okay folks, there are exactly 14 days until Valentine’s Day.

You provide the video. Need some inspiration? Check out this video made… › read more
Why Mom and Dad Should Use Pixorial to Preserve Family Videos January 20th, 2011 / Comments: 0 Okay parents, we are all busted, did you read the report today? “Young kids are better with tech than life skills.” Well coincidentally, we were chatting in the office today about the fact that kids today are born with devices in their hands (I am so guilty of this.) and understand that they can get access to pretty much anything they want through a browser.

Video – bringing human interaction back October 19th, 2010 / Comments: 0 In a recent Beet.TV interview, Chris Anderson, curator of the TED Conferences, stated that video is a “Reinvention of the Spoken Word.” Just reading the headline I was moved to question – what if everyone began using this “reinvention” to communicate versus simply posting comments, posts, likes, sending text messages and the many other ways we have become accustomed to communicate? In this video, Chris talks about the art of telling a story with human to human communication. Imagine… › read more
