Last year, we did our first stop motion video which featured our Christmas tree. It was really fun and turned out really cute, so we thought we would give it another shot.
As I had mentioned, we decorated with homemade ornaments this year, so we had salt dough ornaments and paper chains. Our friend Marian had strung thousands of tiny beads and glued them onto foam balls one year for us. And we made popcorn chains that literally took hours to make. Christian had to make two huge batches of popcorn for us and we had to eat all the pieces that broke along the way (we wouldn't want to waste, you know). The girls were so good about doing it and had lots of fun, even through pricking their fingers on the needles and everything. I guess the all you can eat popcorn helped a bit as well. This was also the kids chance to put up all their collected ornaments made from school and church.
Blogger only lets you insert little thumb size videos so they are hard to really see, so this year, Christian loaded it on Youtube so if you want a better look, you can click on the link and see a larger version of it. I love these videos. They are so fun!

Okay, so I lied, if you embed the video using the html editor, you can get a decent size video player to play your video on blogger, but if you just insert the video, using the button, the size and quality is a lot worse...something to keep in mind.
What a great video!! You two are so talented!! ❤
Yeah! it was a lot of fun. Over 1200 camera RAW files (25GB!!) went into making that time-lapse. It brought my poor computer to its knees for hours doing the batch process to correct the colors, crop, and export to jpeg for the video.
