Birthday Party Video

This is a video I made for my nephew's 1st birthday party. My goal was to capture the essence of the event and the people there with short snippets of smiles, and interactions without being a long boring family video.



I tried to cut each clip so that is showed typical and familiar expressions or mannerisms so that it recalls memories of the people and the collective feel of the event. For us, it's pretty powerful, and I think it will resonate for many years to come.

ps, the one in the Star Wars T-Shirt is my son, Bowie.

  2. Mike,

    I think that's really powerul. I love the format. Taking the "micro blogging" that we all starting converting to with our flips and iphones, and taking it to the net step. Not just micro videoing, but emotion and expression snippets. Really, really powerful. Thanks for sharing.
