My first attempts at home movie production.
Oronozo and I got a new toy. It's a Sony DCR-DVD405 camcorder.


The only kind of video recording device we've had up until now is a low resolution video recorder built into my digital camera. We discovered that the images are not very high quality, so we decided we needed something better to capture special moments in our lives. Okay, who am I kidding, we bought it to capture Snuggle Bug moments!

Oronzo worked with my yesterday to teach me how to upload the .mpg clips from our new camcorder onto our laptop, then convert the files to .dv files so that we can make movies out of them in iMovie (a Mac software program). Then, I have to convert the movie into a Quicktime .mov file so that I can upload them here. Complicated, eh? It's okay, I take good notes!

So, what you're about to see is my very first attempt at home movie production. The star of the show is, of course, Snuggle Bug.

After uploading my movie to Blogger, I realized that Blogger (or maybe it's YouTube) doesn't give you very good quality, the images looks so far away, but hey at least the music is loud!

Okay, here it is. Enjoy! Feel free to leave me encouraging comments so that I can be inspired to make more movies. :)

P.S. This was depicting Snuggle Bug playing at the neighbor's house.

Hmmm...it's not working for me :( All I see is a blank white square, I can click on it, but it doesn't do anything. Bummer!

SO fun. My hubby typically handles the movie editing duties around here, and I'm so grateful for a way to keep track of such sweet memories.

Enjoy your new toy!
