Video assignment

https://youtu.be/wIcUNf2asdI

This video is a small collage of videos that I have done with my sons.  It's not all of the videos we've done but it's a few of them showing the progression of our at-home activities.  We love to create together and both of my sons are interested in different aspects of the film industry.  My oldest son and I act together and have made a couple films since we've started the venture.  We create skits, films, and many other fun things that pertain to filming almost nonstop.  I decided to work with this video because of what it shows, an evolution.  The last video in the series of videos is something I captured while doing another video my oldest son was helping me with.  As I was filming and directing, I noticed my youngest son taking a liking to the camera.  He was watching what I was doing and mimicking me.  I let him take over for the filming and I recorded the situation.  My youngest was directing and being the cinematographer while my oldest was acting.  I can see a future where we are all making films together and fully collaborating in different aspects of the filmmaking process.  

I was inspired by Ryan Trecartin and one of his films in particular, "A Family Finds Entertainment."  It shows multiple people in a family doing various activities that entertain them.  This made me think about my own family and what we do to entertain ourselves.  I feel what we do to entertain ourselves is going to be something we build on for today and our futures.
