Video #3 In My Viddy Journaling Experiment

NOW SEVERAL MONTHS INTO THIS LITTLE EXPERIMENT I’m still trying to consistently use Viddy to better journal my life. I don’t record a video every day anymore, but I try to do it at least a few times a week.

If you’d like to know what this is all about, read the first post here on this blog.

These videos have only one objective—to trigger memories of significant things that happened in my life during these months. They aren’t meant to be pretty. They’re meant to be functional.

Here’s the third one:


 

Having Creative Kids And Grandkids

EVERYDAY I FEEL BLESSED to be able to do what I do for a living—AND to be able to work with all three of my sons AND my son-in-law. They are all highly creative. Each brings a unique set of skills, tools, interests and perspectives to the table. Really, I kinda have the ultimate dream job. My wife, and my two daughters, Anna and Teryn, are also very creative. I just don’t get a chance to work with them each day.

Now, I know this will sound partial—like a bragging grandfather—but my grandkids are equally as creative. Take my 5-year old grandson, Jack...

I think it’s because they have creative parents who nurture their creativity. This morning my son-in-law, Rob, showed me a couple of stop-motion videos that my grandson, Jack, created (with help from his dad). They were shot and edited on an iPhone4 using a $0.99 app called StopMotion. Enjoy:
