Home Video
A little over a year ago, I bought a new digital video camera so that I’d be prepared to take video of my daughter’s school, band and sports functions. I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss an event and wanted to be able to share those same events with friends and family who aren’t able to attend. It has proven to come in quite handy. It’s also proven to be quite funny. This past summer I filmed my daughter and her friend when they attended an “American Idol” day camp. The last day of camp, the campers performed and so I filmed it. It was so funny to watch the playback, there were things going on that we maybe didn’t notice the first time. I love watching kids perform!
With the advent of the internet and reality t.v., home videos have become a huge source of public entertainment. One of my daughter’s favorite shows is one that shows people in silly situations or having funny, non-injuring accidents. She’s been watching the show for years and whenever I need a good laugh, I watch it too. It really brings home the point that it can be a good idea to always have your video camera handy, you just never know when something funny and entertaining will happen right in front of you!
Now there is a new opportunity to create online video content that may be used in a T.V. show, it’s called [tag]YawpBox[/tag] and the show is hosted by Lex and Terry. If you like creating videos and enjoy it when tons of people view it, this is the site for you. Take the [tag]Lex & Terry challenge[/tag] which directs people to create video content for specific categories. There is a wide range of categories, you may find something for which you all ready have a video, or you can create something new. Submit video to the challenge and it may just end up on T.V.!
This is right up my daughter’s ally, she’s always creating unique video and is very creative with it. I know that she’ll be checking it out.
