It official. I love to try silly photo/video stuff, but I have realized a few important things: some waaay more important than others...
Ranked in ascending order of importance as to why I will not receive critical acclaim at Cannes next year:
- I will not have a submission at Cannes next year. Not important at all...surely
- The free Microsoft video editing software stinks royally. It freezes more effectively than my refrigerator and is generally maddening. Each time I work with MS for anything other than Excel, I want a Mac.
- I don't have the right equipment. A video from a small rugged still photo camera isn't very good. I love the Stylus 850 for it's versatility and size, but a video camera it ain't!
- My soundtrack would improve vastly if I could access my iTunes purchases through this software...
- My scenes cut too quickly and wave around like a 2 year old trying to make herself dizzy by spinning in the back yard.
- Apparently, my hands shake like Muhammad Ali.
- Storyboard and thoughts of scenes I wanted to film didn't cross my mind prior to filming...that whole AD/HD thing...
- I have very little talent/experience, and this may have some impact on the quality of my films.
It was still fun and the end had all of us laughing watching it afterwards...
Sooo, without further ado...
This is my effort at doing some video editing in my spare time, and I put this little film together for all the people that don't get to see the kids running around enough. The whole thing is about 6 minutes long, so make your run to the concession stands for popcorn and gummy worms a quick one!

Hey!!!!!!!! What great fun you had AND everyone got involved in the race. And, at the park inflatable, I cracked up when Ansley kept sliding off the last "pillow" into the back seam.
Love, Dad
