Viddy App Allows You To Capture Life On Video

What has more than 450,000 downloads and just keeps growing and growing and growing? No surprises here that the answer is a great new phone app!

With a new way to pull the ‘viddy’ographer out in you, Viddy is a premier social mobile application presenting you with a unique way to create and share video. With the option to utilize multiple movie styles, the short films that you create will give you access to a cinematic aesthetic that you usually only see on the big screen... As you can imagine, it's all the rage here in Hollywood.

Once again, count on Paris Hilton to be at the cutting edge of another great new trend, as she gushed to me about how Viddy is her new favorite app, saying “You can make videos that look really old school... I love it.” But she isn’t the only one getting her film on. Lauren Conrad is a new fan; a friend of Pete Wentz’s actually helped create it; Snoop Dogg is down; and Charlie Sheen has announced that Viddy is winning! Considering the brand did very little to no advertising, they just turned it on and with the help of some very prestigious word-of-mouth, it became a hit!

Taking its rightful place amongst our virtual lives, Viddy is also described as being like Twitter with video updates instead of status updates; seems to me that using a video clip as a status update is a big step in a new and exciting direction. You can even follow other viddyographers in the community and see the world from their artistic point of view. The best part about it is that it costs nada -- you can make the same hot videos as the celebs for FREE!

If you're the type to always have a cell phone on you to capture those once in a lifetime moments, then you should most definitely consider checking out viddy.com, and be amazed at how awesome your videos can look and then share them with the world!
