How Hard Can it be? Shooting an Instructional Shipping Video

Have you ever shot an instructional video? It sounds easier than it actually is. A few weeks ago I was chosen to be one of the Scotch 3M Brand Shipping Experts. I was pretty excited about it .. until I realized it was harder to shoot a video than it looks on TV ;). I'll post the videos soon.. but I wanted you to see what I saw shooting the video.

This is #2.. he can run the camera.. but was so excited about

me doing the video he couldn't hold the camera still!

Then there's this girl… #1. She shot most of the videos.

One of the things I learned about myself shooting these videos? I have issues remembering my name! I have no problem showing someone how to wrap a book, multiple breakables or plates. .. but GOOD GRAVY don't ask me to remember my name and where I am from!

For some reason my two tallest children thought it would be

a good idea to stand on a chair to shoot the video.. of their

very short mother.

Soon.. very soon.. you can laugh at my video's like #1 is doing 🙂

rob pattinson, edward, edward cullan, star siteing, guess who I saw?

Just in case you've been living in the Rain forest for the last few years.. this is Robert Pattinson or Edward Cullen.. depending on who you are 😉

This is some dude in IHOP that I thought LOOKED like Edward Cullan.

This is what #2 looks like when I start taking photos of people in restaurants. The arrow shows where "Edward" was in relation to #2. Do you think he's going to need therapy because I've tortured him?

Tires? Really She’s Talking about Tires?

Tires… tires have been totally kicking my behind here lately.

The Man and I have had our fair share of tire problems lately. His front tire blew this week. He put the donut on.. and it blew a few short days later. He has a pretty common car.. but unbelievably we have to order his tires.. and they won't be in for a week!?!?

Thursday we discovered my tire is low.. took it in to Walmart (where we bought them) and they say it has a cut and it can't be repaired. It should be covered under the "tire hazard".. but neither myself nor Walmart can find our paperwork 🙁 Tires.. you can't live with them.. and you can't live without them..
