Just an FYI that I posted the December movie today. As a reminder, all previous videos can be seen here.
I saw an idea recently from someone who posts a "Month in a Minute" video each month, with two seconds of video from each day. It's a really cool and quick way to review everything that's happened. Something I might think about in the future, but not yet. While I did make this video shorter, I couldn't cut out the giggles. The giggles are my kryptonite!
Again, it’s that time of year where I really start organizing all my photos so I’m ready to make Christmas presents and photo books and Christmas cards… and putting together summary videos are a great distraction that still feels slightly productive.
Oh hello there. Seems that living in a pandemic is not always easy and is certainly exhausting. Whether it’s the extra patenting, the constant fear and anxiety or something else crazy, like zoom fatigue, I’m pretty much always tired these days. By the time the kids are in bed, I can barely keep my eyes open. I barely have enough brain power to watch an actual tv show, let alone do anything fun like document our life here. I have loads of pictures that need to be sorted through, too. Ugh.
I’ve been talking about videos quite a bit lately. As much as I love photos and am definitely a photo person, I’ve shifted my focus to videos the past few months. A photo can never let you hear someone’s voice or laugh, really see how little your kids were, and just doesn’t capture the magic in quite the same way. So while I’ll still continue to fill my house with printed photos and books, I’m trying to focus a bit on videos too.
I recently got a professional video made of our most recent vacation, but while I was at it I also bought 3 extra videos to do first year compilations for each child. Obviously one of those is still unfinished, but I have the other two and had been showing them off to friends and family. And that’s when I realized that most people aren’t aware that I make a short video every month and put it on this website.
