I made this short video as a welcome home gift for my girlfriend and best friend Ashley Atkinson (ashleyatkinson.com). She spent a semester abroad in Florence, Italy. We tried to talk via Skype as many days as we could.
I began taking video call snapshots of her while we talked just for fun. Every once and a while one of them would be a funny face or a good emotional response. After about the first week I had the idea to take pictures each time we talked and put them into a video montage at the end of her adventure.
Once I began to put the video together I noticed I had a lot of good emotional shots of her face. Everything from joy to sadness to just plane goofy. She is a woman of complexity and emotion and I really think this video displays the true Ashley, the Ashley everyone loves and adores.
Love you Ash!
Respect,
Mark Brown
