I saw somewhere online this awesome idea and I decided that I had to give it a try this year. It's A Second A Day video. Super self explanatory... You take a second of video a day and then merge it all into one video to make a 6 or so minute long video recapping your year.
I decided this was something I really wanted to try. We are now just over a week into the new year and right now, I'm doing okay. It's not always easy to remember to take a video a day but I take a ton of pictures anyway so I have decided that sometimes when I pull my phone out for a picture, I will take a video instead. I usually take longer videos and then cut out the second or so that seems the best for the video. Truthfully, some of my videos are closer to 2 seconds because 1 second would not be enough to watch. It would be way too choppy. Also, I saw this video idea on January 3rd. So... I cheated a bit and my first couple of videos are not in order and are from the last couple of days of 2016 but the main idea is that we take a second a day to document our family life and then at the end of the year, we can look back and see some of the fun things we did and how our family has changed. I figured they were within the prior week so it was all relative.
I'm super excited about this project. I think Steven thinks I'm a bit crazy but I definitely think he is going to like it once all is said and done. I think I will likely end up making monthly videos as we go through the year and then merge them all together once the year is over. So... stay tuned...
