Daddy Lost the Kids

in contest •  7 years ago 

THOUGHT ALARM VIDEO CHALLENGE/COMPETITION #1 Before i get started on explaining this little challenge, id like to share the genesis. Last week I set myself a challenge. I wanted to make a simple short movie and to learn the basics of editing. In this life i choose to just throw myself in. So i decided...ok ill make a 3 minute video. It had been a fun week...id been introduced to the Dtube Daily crew...who's vids i have had the pleasure of enjoying a lot just recently and was feeling inspired.
Trick of it was that i was missing actors. But then it dawned on me how fun it could be to have a little project with the kids making a movie. They were pumped to say the least....so i was off. My plan was raw ease. im not gonna worry about making something fancy. Were gonna have fun and do the whole shoot in one day.

As we started walking and thinking together about what it would be about and where we should set the camera. I thought what a fun challenge this is. I should make it into a challenge on steemit as well. Cause learning together is what i have gotten out of steemit. So without more jabber wabby.... Here is my official challenge.

  1. Make a short edited film that must have atleast one child acting in it at some point.
  2. the video must be at least 1 minute long and no longer than 4 minutes.
  3. there must be a minimum of 5 edits or transitions.

Other than that...it can be about anything.

I will not make the rule to participate that you have to resteem and upvote. but it would obviously be a lot cooler if you did.

All video links should be placed in the comments. I encourage you to post the video you made as your own post as well.
The idea is to make this fresh video as a challenge... but older videos that you have made that fit the criteria may also be submitted.
You have 14 days from the moment this post is posted to enter your video.

It will be judged by the number of upvotes for the video...combined with with a currently secret panel of judges.

Here are my little actors. they found that painted rock in a tree hollow while we were filming...it was one of these hide and seek Art Rocks things where you take a picture hide the rock again and post the picture to this site and and watch the life of the Art Rock on the internet.

And here is the video made with the help of all the family.

Cool, hope you all are enJoying the Joy. Looking forward to watching!!!

Much love - Carl

haha...yeah...we watched it together with there cousins the first time..and the little boy was like 'but are they still lost' and i was like...but you are sitting next to Amari right now... i love the way kids minds work.
yeah...throw a shorty film in...at this point you are a winner for sure... i guess i dont get how to do a contest correctly to find the eyeballs and participators.... or maybe i do...but pumping out the word and shilling in all the groups and chats is not really my style... i guess i just gotta be more shilly with my billy butt.

Cannes Film Festival?

Brilliant man! I'll resteem this tomorrow :-) what video editing software are you using? I need to edit some scuba footage. Dtube buttcoins is killing it!

thanks @raj808 has been fun. on this i used imovie right on my iphone. its pretty user friendly for basic editing. Wish apple would communicate with windows...cause id prefer to be editing on my laptop... but so it goes

Haha kids are a natural talent!! So is the wife!! Great video !! Enjoyed it! I love that you ended it in suspense:)))

yeah...was so much fun making it with them...and yeah...all talented nuggets!

This is a bit bloody cute!! Haha, the kids are such great actors.

yeah...was so much fun...and they both are really into it...we are about to launch a profile for them both....@amariandthePurse they are excited!

This is soo cute! Definitely down to follow that adventure.

Great work. hidden talents there 💯🐒

thanks @vibeof100monkeys was a lot of fun making this with the whole fam!

Really nice challenge, now i will have to make babies so i could attend! Looking forward to more of your posts!

the world is full of kids...not so hard to borrow a kid.... most parents are dying for someone to say...hey could i borrow your kid. Shit yeah...just take'em for as long as you want would be what we would say... at this point it is an easy delegation grab. Glad you liked!

Hahah, this is very true, most of them have to pay to someone that they would stay with their kids. Or I can use my wife, she is 24! Legit child, hope she understands... I think challenging yourself everyday is a hard work, but it does pay out!

Cute. :)

dud! always on the cellphone! I hoe you find your kids!!! lol
Resteemed... hope this contest goes viral! :P

yeah...im addicted...its a newage thing. sadly they are still out there lost...im hoping the become like little feral animals...like tarzan but raised by squirrels.

Yoooo amari??? Is so on it. Best actor of the bunch. This was adorable!!!

she is a natural for sure!
