Yesterday - as a surprise for my wife - I set up a filming space at my office to interview my kids.
I interviewed them on camera about their mum and the things they love about her. All for Mother’s Day ❤️
I asked them things like ‘What’s the best thing about mummy?’ and ’What’s her favourite animal?’ and ’How much do you love her?’
I’ll be honest though; it really wasn’t easy. They didn’t want to answer those kind of questions
I had to resort to strawberry lace sweets to get them to talk and warm them up.
They were giving one word answers with no enthusiasm and didn’t seem to care.
Then suddenly my youngest got really chatty - then they both wouldn’t stop performing for the camera and saying fun things!
I took the footage away not feeling too great about it, then secretly edited it last night. It was well worth the late night.
I’m pleased to say the edit turned out GREAT and is a really fun 5 minutes. My wife LOVED it.
I look forward to watching this back in 5 years time and seeing how much they have changed.
What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
Mother’s Day has been a success :)
Cheers for reading, @ashtv.
That is just too cute!
I would answer whatever question for some strawberry laces haha too
Haha!
Well, they do say not to work with kids and animals...
Great idea and something you'll treasure.
They do!
Well, most kids are more closer to their mum than their dad but I wonder why your kids felt reluctant to answer your questions initially. Probably they never wanted to face the camera or they were just waiting for the strawberry!😄
100%. Smart kids wait for the treats!
Yeah I think they just needed a warm up really.
I think I jumped in to it all too quick and they didn’t really understand the format I was going for. Since, well... they’re kids!
But they got it and love it.
Cheers for the comment!
Love your pen art, so gave you a follow. I’m a fan of artists on HIVE :)
Was that their first time getting a video interview?
And yeah, they were just waiting for that motivating factor!😄
Thanks for appreciating my works and following up. I believe you enjoy them.
Will follow up your journey as well. Nice to meet you, anyway.
Good to meet you!
The have been around cameras their entire life, but this scenario was perhaps a little more expectant of their behaviour and output. I could have prepared them a little better but we got there in the end.
Cheers - I look forward to seeing more from you too!
Oh, okay, they are familiar cameras.
Thanks for continuing to make Hive awesome.
