Awsome video, Jared. Terrific Bokeh. What lens did you use to get such a shallow dof and to create such perfect bokeh?
Thanks!

Awesome as always Jared!

1:45 is epic! You rocked it Jared!

Nicely done, Jared! Been waiting for it. We just posted our family Christmas video too. (vimeo.com/32719280). Have a great Christmas!

Jared, you've become the master of the family video Christmas card. Absolutely fantastic. Great camera angles and bokeh. Is anyone helping behind the camera or do you just let it run?

Wow! Courtney and Natasia singing together. The three boys are growing up nicely and Jared your voice is beautiful. How you do all the magic, I don't know but it is wonderful to watch all four of your Christmas videos!
Papa Dad

Awesome once again. This was definitely your first PG-13 Christmas card (view 1:01 and 1:36). Your kids will not be able to say they never saw their mommy and daddy kiss, in fact, they will know everybody in the world has seen their mommy and daddy kiss. ;)

Bokeh anyone? Some people know when something is cool and other people like David and Jon know why it is cool and it has something to do with bokeh. If you are like me and have no idea what boheh is then take a look at the definition from Wikipedia:

In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light." Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively. Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.

super nice edit. love it!

These are great! It's like we get to see your family grow up with you. Keep up the great work!

Nice job once again Jared. You have this down! And kudos shooting yourself @ 1.8 at hitting focus while you sing. Have a great Christmas!

love it! I can't wait to see the 2020 video.

Really, really great. These treasures will only become more valuable after a few more years go by. Merry Christmas to you and your amazing family.

So brilliant every time!

Thanks for sharing your talent which is always an inspiration.

Great Stuff!!!!

Brilliant Jared!

Thank you so much for making and sharing these wonderful pieces of art. They have become something that we all look forward to. Everything you have put together here is so great. A real inspiration, such a talented family. What have you edited your footage with?
Have a great Christmas.

Wonderful! I love watching these!

Wow, It's beautiful as every year. I've been watching your fims for a couple of years now and i always enjoy what you do. Thank you!

Great video! You have a family that does quite well in helping you produce these Christmas Card videos. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful and funny. merry christmas!

They just keep getting better and better. Very creative and beautifully shot and edited. I'd love to do one of these for our family. I tried a test shot of a lip dub this weekend and realized how hard it is to create something like this! Much respect! Best holiday wishes to you and your family.

Beautiful as always. Your 2010 Christmas video inspired me to make my first Christmas video this year: vimeo.com/brucebrouwer/christmas2011

I promise, it was a complete coincidence that we both chose the same song. I had it picked out and wrote the script before I ever saw yours. It is a nice and fun song.

Another year, another triumph. Brilliant!

Jared, you know. You and your family is spreding so much positive feelings with your work. So nice to watch on Christmas day!

Wonderful work and a true pleasure to watch. We watch every year! You have a fine family who are growing up fast!!! Good luck with your work in 2012. Richard and Sue (UK)

Really beautiful, Jared! Merry Christmas to all your family from Brazil.

Love this video! We included it as part of our video of the day tumblr - dothegreenthing.tumblr.com
