Vyclone is a social video app that lets multiple users create movies out of their shared smartphone videos. It is free to download and is available via the app store for iPhone or GooglePlay for Android users.
We are encouraging everyone to capture their experiences at the Chineham Park summer party on the 30th of August, to share with friends and colleagues on the Park.
With the Vyclone app, it matches videos shot in the same location at the same time, and using an algorithm, synchs and edits them to create a movie with multiple angles.
After the summer party, we will be hosting the video via Facebook and Twitter.

In an article by Richard Frost of the South East Insider News website, tech giant Fujitsu is urged to join Basingstoke's IT cluster.
Fujitsu should join Basingstoke's growing cluster of IT businesses, a senior figure at Hampshire Chamber of Commerce has told the online publication. The company has announced plans to close its operations in Reading and Slough, and relocate staff to either Basingstoke or Bracknell.
Chris Quintana, North Hampshire business development manager at Hampshire Chamber of Commerce, feels the company should pick Basingstoke because of its strong standing in IT circles. The town is already home to a number of prominent businesses in the sector, such as Accumuli and Voyager Software.
He said: "There are industry clusters around here. There are lots of IT businesses in the area so it's not like they're coming here on their own. This place is an extremely good town for business."
Rupert Batho, managing director of Chineham Park, added, "Basingstoke has a history of attracting innovative IT companies and at Chineham Park we have five Fortune 500 companies within our business community. Over 50% of our customers are involved in IT, ranging from app developers to IT equipment resellers."
Chineham Park has several major IT customers including: Computer 2000, Micro-P, Quark, Develop IQ, Voyager Software, Cirrus, Voiteq, Level 3 Communications and Google-owned Motorola.

MEPC sponsors new t-shirts for CPRC
The team at MEPC Chineham Park has sponsored the resident estate Chineham Park Running Club (CPRC) with new club t-shirts.
The sponsorship has bought 10 newly-designed t-shirts which have been produced through Chineham Park Running Club’s Club Captain, Jason Burke.
Jason Burke said: “The new t-shirts have gone down a storm as we take a lot of pride when putting on our club colours, but it’s very expensive getting new bespoke club team wear. As a new club, we have limited funds to purchase custom-made clothing. With Chineham Park's assistance we were able to go more upmarket to purchase a highly technical quality garment made to our exact design.”
“Our runners already had club running vests, but we needed a club t-shirt that was suitable for training, or for when the weathers a bit cooler. ”
As well as new t-shirts, CPRC also has a new area to train; MEPC Chineham Park has given the club permission to use the large grassed area in front of Central 40 building to carry out training.
Jason continued: “We train every Wednesday and usually meet outside Fitness First Gym in Spindlewood. As the club continues to grow, we found however that we needed a new training area to deliver our programme, we identified the larger grassy area by Central 40 being ideal and were delighted when MEPC kindly gave us permission to use it for training.”
Richard Hawkes, Estate Manager at Chineham Park said: “We are always keen to promote fitness and wellbeing at Chineham Park, so having a running club on the Park certainly brings that opportunity to our occupiers.”

Recruitment increasing in Basingstoke
Chineham Park based serviced office accommodation provider has just published its latest business confidence report which says 20% of local firms plan to increase their headcount by over 5% in the remainder of 2013.
Meanwhile, a quarter plan an increase of between two per cent and five per cent, while, just under half of local firms state that their recruitment drive will focus on sales and marketing staff, displaying a determination to sell their way out of the downturn. Forty-one per cent plan to take on more operations staff and 20 per cent are looking to recruit more admin staff, while just three per cent of firms polled are planning to take on more HR staff.
Regus managing director Steve Purdy, said: “Although it is highly positive that firms are turning their attention to hiring, this is an expensive phase for any business and they must be careful not to over-extend themselves in this fragile economy.
“This is especially true when it comes to property. In fact over two fifths of UK firms report that during previous downturns they had their fingers burnt by expensive and inflexible leases.
“This time round, companies are far better equipped due to the availability and acceptance in the business world of flexible working, especially in terms of the physical workplace. Judging from the way we see firms using our centres, many employers are turning away from full-time, permanent office space in favour of pay-for-what-you-use models. Keeping overheads low and remaining agile are vital to making recruitment plans affordable and achieving sustainable business growth.”
