As this is the first month I’ve finished our monthly film while I have the new website, I thought maybe I’d better explain what this is!
Back in January of 2018, I decided I wanted to do a filming personal project. I also decided to make it a video diary of our family’s life. Somehow the title came to me, and I vowed to make one film every month.
Now these films are not technical at all–I don’t storyboard, I don’t fix lighting, I don’t even pick up stuff off the floor. I just get my camera out and film whatever is happening. Usually I remember to get it out for the fun or meaningful stuff, but sometimes I actually get it out to film the boring and mundane stuff we are doing. And that’s all. Then I edit it all together in sequential order of when it all happened. The only editing I do to these films, is edit to match the beat in the music and fix under/over exposed clips, and bad coloring. That’s it. They only take me a couple hours to throw together–unlike films I’m making for others which take upwards of 10-15 hours, depending on length.
So now that you’re completely bored with my rambling…without further ado, I give you November, 2020.
