In my last blog, I mentioned things were going to be written a little bit differently. This one is going to be co-wrote with my boyfriend, Chris, and his experiences with the video process though the year so far. If you like the change of pace, let me know!
*The next three paragraphs were written by Chris.*
With the year winding down, this project is almost complete. I have contributed a few videos here and there, like the video of Elise bowling, but overall less than one percent of this video has been done by me. Elise has spent many hours choosing videos, editing, and much more. On a typical day it usually is pretty easy for her to choose a video because we both work full time and she tries to include everyday activities in the video as well. We also like to travel quite a bit so when we are visiting areas such as Miami, it can be much more difficult for her to narrow down what video she wants to use for that specific day.
Another thing I would like to point out is the equipment she uses. Almost all of the filming has been done just using an iPhone so naturally she wanted to find creative ways to use it. Something that has really helped with this has been the wide lens and waterproof case. She takes them every time we go near the water, and has used both of these numerous times. Since we live beside the Gulf of Mexico, it has really added some unique footage.
Finally, I would like to encourage anyone to do this sort of project. Even if you think you don’t do much day to day, it will be something that you will look back on and consider worthwhile. This project isn’t easy as it forces you to stay motivated and organized for it daily but I know she is going to be happy with it, even when it has caused her some stress in the past. I also know she enjoys this sort of video project because it gives her an opportunity to use her creativity to show you her everyday life.
