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. ๐
So whaddaya think?
LOVE the outtake at the end. You’re adorable and this is SO GREAT!! yay for awesome Dad’s and inspiration!
And 25,000 photos?? Wow girl, my hubby thinks I take a lot – ha!
And I’ve slowed WAY down on my shooting since the shutter started crapping out recently… just wait until I get my hands on my new camera tomorrow! It’s ON!
Super cute Lizz!!! I love the outtake!
Cute, girl! So, so very cute!
What a GREAT video! I love it…and you DO have your moments! I don’t know why I haven’t done this before (you’re an amazing twitter-er…is that a word), but I’m following you via google follower! You rock!
Aww, thanks! And welcome! I love new followers on here even more than on Twitter! ๐
Supah fun! Love the graphics and branding of it!
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?
–Beth
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…
That is awesome ๐
I loved it and I’m so excited I got to see it first!!!
This is ADORABLE. Best intro blog I’ve seen.
That was #ALLCAPSAWESOME ๐
No YOU are #ALLCAPSAWESOME!
I loved it! Awesome intro blog Lizz, I love that I can come back and visit it for all eternity!
I love this! You and your dad did such an amazing job!!
Awesome, awesome video! I love it. I love that you even went as far as to use a green screen. Consider me impressed.
btw…I have always loved that ‘mom’s gonna snap’ shirt. So cute!
I think I told you, but you know the shirt is from clickinmoms.com, right? You can totally get your own! I love it! AND it fits well and it well made!
Adorable!! Great job with the shooting and editing. It looks professionally done!
This was super cool!! I love the way this was shot. Your dad must be super awesome…just like you? YES!
He’s pretty great. (Just don’t let him hear that!) ๐
Cute! Love that last out-take. ๐
