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



i loved it, great job! i loved the sepia, music, and how it faded in and out ~ very nice touches all blended together nicely! maybe he could write a post about how he did it. i'll look forward to it!

Wow. I have an 11 year old son, too. Computer and videos aren't his talents, so we're really impressed with your son's work. Not only is it great looking video, he obviously has a good eye for what works on video. Good job!

So awesome that your son did all of this, and he's ONLY 11. Wow!! Tara, I could see you a few months down the road, in a corporate office managing a warehouse full of employees filling orders!! Way to go! xo Rachel

That video feels like home to me! Oh how I can relate to the piles of product around the house and the never ending packaging projects. Always makes me feel better to know others are in the same boat!
