Why we can't eat on the dining room table...
Hello! My super talented 11 year old son made this video using his new tripod (it really helps to keep the video steady) In computer class he is learning how to make 'movie mixes'...I have no idea how he did this, but I know he would be happy to answer your questions, because mom sure doesn't know! LOL! He even uploaded it for me I love how he put music to it, sped up the film, and made it look like an old time movie in a sepia tone, complete with the old time look of a reel...lines jumping, etc..(also glad there is no sound on this one because at one point my husband walks in and I tell him "don't just stand there, get to work!") This was filmed one night when we were doing the second batch of orders, since then, my poor dining room has been overwrought in Wriskey's, you can't even walk in there anymore!
Enjoy! I know he would love your feedback!~xo
WOW Tara.....your son really has a future in the movies~lol!! Seriously though, this is fabulous, and I love the way that he did it like an old fashioned movie! Your dining room looks just like mine, over run with orders to be packed all of the time. At least you have some help!! ~XOXO~ Janet (P.S.) I LOVE my Wriskey T Shirts ya'll:-)

LOL I love it! Tara your son is super talented, if he'd like to head on over to Australia he could film my dining table too - wouldn't it be nice to have a whole room in the house for packing? mmmm dreaming....

A+++++++ Great job on the movie! Love everything about it...the old timey look, the music, and the fast action. Just super!

Fantastic!
I was just waiting for Chaplin to come waltzing into the Dining Room! (Which is beautiful, by the way!)
He has a great eye & excellent timing~~seems to be turning into a family business!
This was a treat to watch!

Well done! I love your blog. It is SO beautiful.

How cool, Tara!!! He's really good!! My son was the exact same way, always shooting videos in school for projects using crude equipment but turning out really neat videos. He ended up going to Savannah College of Art and Design ~ He was a film major!! So get ready, your son is so talented! xxoo, Dawn
Posted by: Dawn | February 16, 2008 at 11:06 PM
I love it! That was great. Except your husband was made (not sure if it was intentional or not) to look like he was just watching and not really doing much. Maybe it was just compared to you! That was really neat. If you ever have to do a resume, you can include "actual work."
Great job!

Oh, what a good job your son did on this video! It was so entertaining:) Tell him to keep up the good work- he's just going to keep getting better and better!!! <3

Tara,
That was so great! Your son did a fantastic job. It shows that he's enjoying working on these projects, which is so great. I just received my order today and I am so excited to wear my t-shirt tomorrow and take my Wriskey along while I walk my sweet dog, Zeke. Love how the t-shirt is already so, so soft!
Love being a Wriskey Girl - Welcome to the messy table household, but for the love of your dream, it's so worth it - can't wait for more.

What a great presentation. You are super talented. The music was perfect with the sepia tones, just wonderful. Don't be so hard on your mom, It could be worse. I have a antique/ junk shop and I sold my table and chairs. ( over a year ago)
Looking forward to your next showing.

What a great video. I'm so amazed at how technologically savvy these young people are now. Your son did a fantastic job with this. If he keeps this up you'll have to put him on the payroll as your promotional video exective director-lol.
It looks like a real family affair and it's great that your son gets to help and work on his own skills too. How great is that?
Congrats on the success of Wriskey!

Hi Tara, that was fantastic fo your son to do that all on his own...well done!

Great video! Keep it up Tara's son. This should be entered in a short film festival.
Posted by: Patti | February 20, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Tell your son...he did a great job!
I have been very inspired by your web shop, to open my own. I only hope I get the response you have in opening your Wriskey's shop. Do you have any advice?
Thanks again for another wonderful Tara TV!
