How is everyone holding up?
I will be the first person to say that I have had a few teary days in the last few weeks
This Easter week is going to be really tough for everyone.
To help 'connect' with family here is one suggestion :
Create a Keepsake video made out of pictures and video clips of the kids decorating for Easter, the baked goods, the meal and capture a little video footage of family traditions. Video a 'Family greeting' so other family members can hear your voices.
This collection can all be uploaded to a free software like Animoto,
https://animoto.com/make/slideshow-video free for families once uploaded you can arrange the files...add music and then hit the produce/export buttons.
Download and share where ever you like.
Suggestions on what to shoot:
-Take wide shots that set the scene
-Take close up shots
-Take birds eye view shots from above
-Shoot the angles
- Shoot the details
-Shoot the expressions
-Yep shoot the mess :)
-Video or shoot the egg hunt
-Video: Put your cell phone on a tea towel on the table and then hit the record button, slowly slide it across the table while filming for a dolly shot ( dolly / moving across the scene )
-Video: Gather the family and record a 'Greeting' to the other family members so they can hear your *voices and know you are 'OK'
Easy to use. Go to the link and sign up …pick your template and upload pictures & video clips to Animoto. Arrange files how you want. Add music
In the end you will not only have a 2020 Keepsake Memory Video to share but you’ll have recorded a snap shot of your families living history as we journey through 'this' pandemic …and your children will have something to look back onto when they are older.
