Woman Takes Stills With iPhone, Unaware She’s Actually In Video Mode.

Videos | Posted by Jannie on 23 March 2010 @ 9:04 AM 60 Comments

The obvious option of course, was to delete this video, and you’d never have been the wiser. But how could I possibly deny you the pleasure of catching me in this moment of complete idiocy?  :)

    I did this with my Flip. I was trying to stop and I kept hitting play. It wasn’t going fast enough for me and thus lots of 2 second video. lol Fun stuff!

    That vid confounded me for a moment — how was Jannie’s camera taking a picture of the camera? Then I saw the mirror.

    Speaking of oopses …

    Ana, yes I guess you could say I was having fun! (On a good hair day.) :) Silly me.

    Anne!! Ah, a bunch of 2-second videos? What did you do with them?

    Cinderkeys!! yeah, an old mirror we got a good deal on at a consignment show maybe 15 years ago. The glass has little age stains on it, or whatever you call it, but it still is cute, I think. :)

    Anyhoo, what shallI be off to next?

    That spaghetti!!

    One of my favorite videos is of my feet walking through the garden and me unaware I was in video mode at all and I’m talking away to the dogs all by myself – lol! At least I didn’t have to worry that I was having a bad hair day.

    Your hair looks wonderful! Thanks for the laughter today, Jannie xx

    spaghetti sauce bubbling. Can you say ground beef with prepared Ragu, boys and girls???? :0

    so who was I? I mean where was I??

    Talon!! That’s funny. I’ve done that too, the video swishing back and forth as I walk thing. And I found soem hilarious vocal recording last week as I was listing to all 12 combined hours of me recording singing ideas, a few times I was still recording for long times, could hear myself greeting people inand out of Kelly’s school — even goign to the bathroom!! :) Oh, and at the supermarket check-out! Fun times. Fun times!! :) Oh, yes, and I had just chopped my bangs back a bit extra there too. Took chance and got lucky. But teh more I do hack away at it, the better I get, with just a few little glitches as I get it closer to looking good for my face. Seriously! :)

    Thank you, Vered! Friday morning my daughter and her friends were looking at their gymnastics videos on my iPhone and were scrolling through what I thought were stills. When they started roaring with laughter I had no idea my stills had not come out as I’d planned the previous afternoon. :)

    Chris!! Im finding it incredibly to figure out whe3re and how to hold the iPhyone for a good self-portrait becuase of that tiny little lens, that easily gets covered by a wayward finger. And the whole mirror thing I stillget mixed up on! And still getting the whole looking in the lens correctly as I have to be still to tap teh screen with my finger. ah, lol, a statue! I did see anamazing one in a mall one time. Gorgeous girl — porcelain skin she totally looked like a mannequin. But I saw her breathing and made her laugh. :) Silly Jannie.

    Suzicate!! I actually deleted the clip before it that make me look all primping and vain such. I figured goofy was something I could share. :)

    brush my hair now! Put on a bit of foundation and some mascara! teim to walk the dogs.

    Davina!! Who was that guy on candid camera? Well, he was hiding out in my bathroom. Jumped out from behind the shower curtain. Luntz? Allan Luntz? Why does that name pop into my head? No! I just asked Jim and it’s Allan Funt!

    J.D. If I can’t laugh at me, who can eh? :) Ahhh, no fans, jsut all buddies here at this party! Fans will come in later years? :)

    Ana!! This has been fun yes, more fun as I read your guys’ supportive comments. But the best part of all is sharing with you guys. I am not shy! Of course, with performing and such over the years, I’ve seen myself looking silly enough on video not to be embarassed anymore. ;)

    Natalia!! Cindy!! Thanks!! So great to see you guys again. Am a little bit nuts, or what?? Or a LOT nuts!! :)

    I think it’s spelt Alan Fundt-
    “blower bulb” nice Rypo, BB! I just published more of those silly things, n came over here n laughed alot more! I said “Jannie is the best at sperading beer” on ESR! n milk too, I see…

    I took a vid of the train (all fuzzy) last fall by accident- used up the whole memory card- n batts- deleted it before saving to machine cause at the time had no other cards to take any pics. There were another 50 frames to use… No sound on my cam tho- not as much fun as your market beeps!
    Hope your sketti was yummy

    Dear Jannie. I had to come visit you as I saw your comment on SuZen’s post about the book review, and you made me laugh right out loud. I just added you as friend on YouTube and am watching your “Horse with no Name.”

    This video here that you thought was stills, cracked me up. I laughed out loud. Good for you for posting it. It’s something I would do. What am I saying?? I do do this. (”do do” ??? Aw heck!! LOLOL!!!)

    Anyway, I just so enjoying seeing your vitality and spontaneity all over the net. You are good for me. I left a comment of your YouTube page. Thank you SOOOOOOO much. Hugs to you, Robin :)

    You go girl and rock the world!! It needs it. Needs YOU!! :)

    Another fine entry for the Bords ona Wire books, for Miss J. left a note over on my email: “I look foreard to getting over to your blog again soon.” Donuts and beer,
    ah yes, the breakfast of Funsters, and lunch, and several snacks each day. Thanks to Jannie I have been
    finding all kinds of Billy Collins poems on line, and have been posting them on my site; getting into the special world of this “successful” poet’s head. He is perhaps America’s only poet with a six figure income.

    Megan!! Ha! You are so welcome!! You’ve done that too! Any videos to post?? :) Let’s have an embarassing videos fest!!

    Jaymie!! It is a tricky dance to get a self-photo with that thing in a mirror, that’s for sure. :)

    Jingle! My Jingle, how are you, my dear? Are you having great fun in your sphere? I see your poetry rally is going strong, on your blog like a wonderful song. :)

    Tess!! Laughing out loud, eh?? That’s the way I like my funsterment friends!! And so glad I have many many more dumb moments to look forward to — mayabe I’ll even be able to videotape them. :)

    Noha!! yep, FUN — that’s my middle — I mean LAST name!! :) Glad you got a giggle. :)

    Debbie!! Well, I took a chance at looking completely ridiculous posting this, and I guess I was successful in making you all laugh!! :)

    Fatiboni!! I guess “my eyes had it”?? :) I have no idea what I thought I was going to look like in those stills — a surprised elf?? :)

    Robin!! Ahh, thanks for adding me as a YouTube friend! I haven’t been on YouTube for long, so am still learning the ins and outs. Robin — and you are good for ME!! I will look very forward to seeing what you have been up to. And the words so needs YOU!!! :) Oh, yes, funny about the comment posting only half. What in the world?? :)

    Sheila!! I do have my sweet innocent side, don’t I?? Beneath that crusty exterior. :) :0 :)

    Snag!! The trouble with tribbles may well have been my fave. episode. Ahhh, you were not ON the train, now I get it. Market beeps — of course!! It was pretty funny listening back to some of my vocal clips. :)

    Nadia!! Ahhh, then I named myself correctly — for fun. Glad you go a kick out of it. We here at Funsterment Global Inc. do aim for the kind of quality programming we know will please our exacting clients — such as yourself. :)

    Glenn!! Your book got mailed today! Yep, at about 8:37 the friendly P.O. lady did indeed toss it lovingly into the bin with the other 9 give-away-winner packages I sent today. And the last 6 tomorrow — whoo-hoo!!

    ANONYMOUS!! My, how you look like that Glenn character directly above!!! ;) :) :) And you know BB does not poop in the woods?? Yep, all potty trained and such. He has a little golden toilet, 1″ high.

    Brian!! The Eagle has Lander. Or, been sent. Envoyed. :)

    You running these days?

    My blog-reading method continues to try to be getting over to blogs roughly in order of when your comments come in here, give or take a twist or two. :)

    I hope is all sunshiney in your beautiful sphere today — and even if it isn’t completely, I know you’ll soon smile it all back into place in your sweet Chrissy way. :)
