I pulled the idea for this video from a previous concept. When my daughter was born, I concocted the idea of making a video a month for her first 12 months. While some of the videos weren't exactly brilliant, it was a great way to archive how she was growing up and to share the videos with friends and family that didn't live near us. When my son came along, I decided to do it again.
For his 3rd month video, I came up with the idea of taking every photo I'd taken of him and turning them into a flipbook-style video. I had recently written 'Revolving Doors' and it seemed to have the perfect energy and pacing for the video.
When it come time to do this week's video, I knew I wanted to use a similar concept. As I didn't have 3 months to draw from to create a similar concept to the original, I came up with the idea of taking sequential photos in an attempt to create a sort of 'photo animation'. It was a fairly tedious process but Kim and I managed to streamline things and soon we were spinning along. To match the beat of the music we needed to take 6.66 pictures for every second of music. The song is 1:40 or 100 seconds so we ending up taking almost 700 still photos to get the effect we were going for.
For the record, the water was really cold and yes, I did get wet.
