My wife and I love sitting in front of the fire in our living room, we would love to have a fireplace in our less formal family room but alas it isn’t practical.  In my typical geekness I wondered if there were any virtual fireplace options available for playback on our big screen.  After scouring the net for a while, I did manage to find a few fireplace DVD options, but I couldn’t justify handing out cash for those.  While taking a nice retreat day in front of the fire, I set up my Canon Vixia HD Camcorder on a tripod and got 30 minutes of great flames.  I’ve put it up on Vimeo in case anyone else is as corny as I am and wants to loop it on their TV…at least it is greener than burning firewood!

This version has no audio, maybe I’ll get the shotgun mic setup for a second version if there is enough demand. Go here to view in HD or to download the MP4 (must be logged in to Vimeo).
