Video killed the blogging star
I have taken thousands of photos of Swee’Pea and TheMonk. We have, however, been hit and miss on the video taping of day to day life. The biggest obstacle has been the fact that our video camera has good old fashioned video tape and I am technologically impaired on how to convert it into digital formats that we can watch with ease.
To remedy the situation, I got a Flip Video Camera last week and I’ve been playing around with it. Perhaps someday I’ll get good enough to where it doesn’t look like every video is being filmed by a drunk guy in an earthquake and, perhaps, I’ll even be able to edit out the parts where my voice sounds like an extra on The Muppets.
And, perhaps, TheMonk will one day not be so fascinated by the camera that he wants to see the camera rather than do the cute thing that had me video taping him in the first place.
But, even with those obstacles, here’s the first video I took of Swee’Pea and TheMonk. They had just finished their bath on a Sunday afternoon and their favorite stuffed kitty and monkey had also received a bath courtesy of Mr. Kenmore.
While I might not receive any Director of the Year Oscar’s. Swee’Pea and TheMonk might win over the judges.

Love the Flip. It’s the best and easiest electronic device ever made.

Cute video. We have had to institute a “tit for tat” rule in our house: we record my kid (or take her picture) and then turn it over to her so she can take pictures of us (she doesn’t have the patience to stop pushing the shutter release, so her videos are all 1-2s long).

I’ve found that the video function on our Canon still camera is a convenient way to grab video without investing in another piece of hardware. What’s good is that the limited memory forces you to pick your shots rather than let the camera roll. The sound quality is roomy, to say the least. Sometimes my band uses a still camera to record rehearsals for the built-in hall reverb effect.

LoL My kids are ALWAYS asking if they can take a picture of me. I don’t think it will ever end, but if you get them to understand the concept of “do something cute first” THEN you can see yourself, maybe he won’t be so insistent. LoL
I look forward to the next VLOG from childsplayx2.

I had to come home and watch that one, cause I couldn’t get the volume to work before. They are even cute in video!

I don’t think they ever get used to the camera. Let me know if you figure it out.
