This is me. And my blog.

[viddler id-35a035d h-345 w-545]

The concept of this video was inspired by this one, which I've had kind of a crush on for a while. I played around a lot, trying to decide what I wanted to do exactly, and even storyboarded it! It changed around a bit, but I'm really thrilled with how my final product came together!

I have to thank my dad in a BIG way; he was my camera man, sound guy, foley artist and post production guy. He's a geek in that way, even though it isn't his ‘real' job; he uses a lot of video in marketing his mortgage business, so that's why I asked for his help, but he and I really had a lot of fun putting it together.

It was #vlogtalk that finally got me off my butt to get this done and posted; I've been contemplating it since Blogher, but we just finally did it all this weekend so I could post it for the Wild Card prompt link-up. If you want to see it again in future (you totally do, don't you? :)) it will live on my About Me page for all eternity, or until the interwebz falls apart, whichever comes first. ๐Ÿ™‚

So whaddaya think?

      Thanks! That’s totally my graphics geek coming out! I actually wanted to film this a couple of months ago, but then wanted to wait until my redesign was done so it would match! #nerd

    Nice! What program do you use to organize all your photos?

      Hi Beth! I actually just use a folder system in the Mac OS, no software. If I were looking for an organization system, I’d use Adobe Lightroom and Bridge, most likely… but the folders work for me, for now (new folder for each main event, with the date in the name, and a “Misc” folder for each month…
