Our fourth applicant is Matt from Huntingdon Valley, PA!

We love the videos we have been getting. We cant wait to get more! Now we know some of you thinking of applying are having trouble thinking of ideas for a great video. Well to help out lets take a look back at Alex and I’s video from last year.

So you see it ‘s really easy! Send in your videos today!

When you’re thinking about what to do with your money, there are often two options: spend or save. When we talk about a larger scale, like maybe a government, the decision is a little more complicated. If there’s anything we can learn within our own country, it’s that no matter what government money is spent on, someone isn’t happy. This is the current issue facing the Canadian government in reference to the Olympic games. So how much money did Canada spend on the Olympics? Well no one is completely sure, but most estimate that it is somewhere around $5 BILLION DOLLARS. I don’t know how you feel, but to me that sounds like an awful lot of money. We know that the opening ceremonies were priced at about $40 million. Think for a second about how much money that is. That’s a LOT more money then you’ll make while working for Project Flipside (sorry to disappoint you).

You may wonder, like I did, how most Canadians felt about this large expense. According to a recent survey, 48% percent of Canadians felt like their country spent too much on these games. I guess the rest of the people believe that having the games in Canada will boost tourist revenue in Canada, not to mention the country will make a significant amount of money while the games are going on. Still, I would argue that there are better uses of cash. I’ve never had to decide what to do with $5 billion before, but I would imagine if I had the opportunity, you’d see a lot of it saved and invested, and a lot of it used to support businesses within my country, in an attempt to improve our economic situation. I think there are a number of things the money could be used for, and evidently so does the gentleman who made the video on this web page. Check it out, it’s short and silly. And always remember to save your money!

So yeah I was going to post a flipside video today but I got swamped with a bunch of film projects at school so I thought to myself…”why not just post my own stuff on my blog?” So enjoy one of the million things I worked on today and check out some of my other videos too.

and starting thursday I will be doing Project Flipside: memories!

Great work everybody!!! I’m seriously pumped about our applications…but I don’t have too much to say and I can’t spoil anything for the rest of the people who would like to apply. I’d like to hear from some of you guys!

Our third applicant is Allison from Warminster, PA!

Some of you may know that Rhett and Link are two awesome video makers that recently filmed a commercial for Bucks First Federal Credit Union.

If you’re looking for some inspiration for your video application, check out some of their videos. They have hundreds of them, and something is bound to give you an idea. I put one of my favorites here in the post, just to give you a little taste of their talent.

Then check out more of their stuff on youtube, and go make your video!

What’s up everyone?!      Guess how many people will be chosen for the Flipside Crew… THREE.   This means that if only one more person applies, then every applicant will win. As awesome as this sounds, lets not make it that easy for those who have already applied. I know that there’s a good list of people that I have spoken to who have their vids a’cookin, so bring your best stuff to the table and get those vids submitted!
