Late last year I discovered this brilliant, heartwarming little video project called My Family Portrait. The first one I watched was by Clan McCloud (vimeo.com/1632671), and I was inspired to follow suit instantly, but the idea was birthed by Jared Foster (vimeo.com/1293253).

The concept is simple. Pretend your video camera is a still photography camera and take a “moving portrait” of each member of your family.

More thoughts on why I think this concept works so well can be found on my blog.

    Awesome! I've been looking forward to seeing the final product ever since you gave me an early "sneak peek" a couple months ago. :-) Turned out amazing! I love it!

    Dewde! I saw C McC's and JF's versions of this awhile back and really enjoyed them and now having seen yours I am really inspired to try it myself...as a side note, I'm an NPCC attender...I recognize you, right...it's personal?!

    Busted. You caught me.

    You should really do it. Just a warning, though. You will probably find yourself getting more than a little misty-eyed throughout the process. Editing turned out to be an unexpectedly emotional endeavor.

    Good to meet ya!

    hey this gives me another idea...family portrait but ask them their favorite moments of the year-- then you can aggregate the moments over time also...thanks
