We are all a collection of memories. The stories we tell ourself.
These stories shape the person we become.
It’s time to write your children a better story…
"you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened"
“You’ve Inspired me to do this! You’ve broken it down in such a practical and simple process! So wonderful that you’ve made something I thought was so technical, simple! I never thought I could have memories like this!” – Roopa
Imagine in 30 years time – your grandchildren, sitting on your lap ask you…
“What was my mum like when she was my age?”
Imagine – instead of trying to tell them what she was like – you could show them what she was like…
How she walked, talked, laughed, cried…
How she was brave, adventurous, creative or kind…
Film is an experience
and when you do it right – it becomes a memory…
"Every day we tell ourselves stories. We create stories to give meaning to our lives, to justify what we want to experience or feel, and to give ourselves a framework upon which to build future stories"
This picture was sent to me on a whatsapp message the morning my daughter rolled for the first time.
It was an exciting moment.
But you wouldn’t know it from just a photo.
You don’t see all that she went through to get onto her belly!
Compare it to the video next to it.
After receiving the message saying she’d rolled I went down to see if I could capturing it on film…
This took less than 3 minutes to film…
…it was edited and shared with the family WhatsApp group in the time it took to make a coffee…
and it’s possible for any parent…
Just editing a film doesn’t mean that you’ve created a long term memory.
Undoubtedly an edited film will be waaaay better to watch than an unedited film.
But if you’re just filming clips and then coming back to edit them 6 months later you’re missing out on a key part of the memory making process…
Do you worry that making films is just for the professionals?
Do you expect it to take Hours and Hours making a film?
Did you think you’d have to spend the entire day filming and not be present with your family?
…Well it doesn’t have to be that way!
How should you approach filming your family? Should you be filming documentary style or should you be directing? Which style is easiest for parents to film? And which filming style will create the best memories for your family?
