I LOVE what's already been done with the Dusty Dance tiny story, but I thought I'd still share my take on it :)

EDIT: if this gets used for anything, i just realized that i forgot to mute one of the clips so there's a little bit of background noise for a few seconds (that's what you get for trying to edit video with a baby in your lap!)

My daughter found the party supply stash in my craft cabinet and has been bringing me a new balloon to inflate every couple hours for three days straight. This is the end result. I was planning to just upload the raw footage, but then I realized that the song "Once Upon A Balloon" would be perfect for it! And I've never done stop motion before, so we'll just call this trial and error, but I thought it turned out alright!

fun fact - that's the piano that was used to record this little song!

blurry christmas lights AND dancing dust, can it really get any better than this?

i left this footage pretty much unedited (minus the parts of my kids bumping into the camera that i decided to take out). christmas lights are one of my favorite things, blurry ones are even better, and this dust is just magical. it kinda reminds me of snow, which we sadly don't get much of here in mississippi. i hope this inspires someone to make something wintery and beautiful :)

i just added the background music out of boredom. it's called "flurry" and it was my first RECord i ever posted here almost a year ago, i can't believe it's been that long already!

**disclaimer: i mayyy have shaken an old blanket in front of the camera to get extra dusts in a few shots. just didn't want anyone thinking my house is always this dusty. i have way too many dusty video RECords (dusty dance, dusty piano) - maybe it's a sign that i should clean my house.

...for all those records needing a little boy sitting in a storage ottoman giving his dog puppy kisses :)

Just thought I'd share where I RECord and where I get my inspiration most of the time. On a typical day, I sit down, stare out this window, and play the piano as long as I can.

I haven't cleaned my house in a couple of weeks (eek!), so things are getting pretty dusty. And I noticed this morning that a spider has made a new home on top of my piano, so I decided to film it instead of cleaning it.

I was originally just planning to upload this footage with no audio for others to use and edit, but it was really really boring, so at the last minute, I decided to add a couple of my songs that were written in this very spot. But please, feel free to use this footage for whatever you like, I'm definitely not a video editor!

my daughter millie just happened to be wearing her red christmas coat at the family farm a few days ago so i took a few pictures & video (uploading soon!) for the little red riding hood collab.

I took my daughter to my grandpa's farm a few days ago & she happened to be wearing her red coat, so I stole a basket from my mom's house and we went for a walk in the woods. Here's the first half. (400mb max, grrr!) I muted the clips because she was talking most of the way through it saying things like "do you think we'll see a monkey in the forest?" Yeah, probably not in Mississippi...

2nd half can be found here: http://hitrecord.org/records/640332

I might try to get more footage a little later in the day if anyone wants it, my memory card was pretty full with other stuff when I shot this so I didn't quite get what I wanted. And I have a 1080 version if someone needs it, but the file is too large to upload here.

I was filming the kids playing outside today for our family video memory scrapbook thingy, & Millie wanted to have a tea party by her new flower garden, so I figured I might as well use some of the footage here too! And I just couldn't resist putting a cheesy iMovie video effect on it, sorry :)

i love everything mirtle draws, but "tea party" has always been one of my favorites. so much that i had to go and sew a pennant banner to hang in my daughter's room last year! we relocated it for today's tea party :)

Raw footage coming soon for anyone to play around with that actually knows what they're doing when it comes to editing!

We love rainy days at our house, so on the rare occassion that the rain doesn't come with a thunderstorm or tornado warning, we put on our rainboots and make our way outside. And sometimes I bring my camera.

This didn't quite turn out how I wanted, but we still had fun.
