Super Roberts Brothers (Silent Film)


I’ve always loved making videos. Growing up, my friends and I would get together any chance we could get to make dorky little movies. We didn’t really know what we were doing. We had to think outside the box because we didn’t have programs to edit our videos when we were done. And to prove how “retro” and “vintage” we were, I’ll let you know that those movies were filmed directly to a VHS. So old school.
But in recent months, it’s become a fun hobby for me. I love videoing little snippets of each day and putting them together. I love that I married a musician (even more important, a composer!!) that can whip up any music that I request. However, when I came to him a couple weeks ago with my plan for a silent film, he wasn’t too thrilled with the thought. That was not a genre that he felt comfortable writing in the least bit. But I know how talented he is, so I wasn’t worried at all. 
So last weekend, with 2 of the kids skipping their naps, we worked and worked to film this movie. I had a whole vision with this film, with how it would look when it turned out, and I’m pleased that it turned out so well. We had a good time making it! I’m so happy that they’ll have this memory on film when they get older. 

This movie was filmed with my iPhone with the 8mm app. Edited in Windows Live Movie Maker. (Just showing how fancy I am.) 


If you or anyone you know ever needs a composer for any project, my husband is the one for the job. He can write anything–and this video (and his website) prove it. That’s my sales pitch! C’mon, we want him working from home!!

Kids Say…


Kids say strange things. Some of the strangest things aren’t documented because I forget to write them down. 

But here are just a few random things they’ve said recently that I thought were cute.
 
 
 
Kai-How many carrots do you have to eat to be as strong as Jesus?
Me-You can never be as strong as Jesus, no matter how many carrots you eat. 
Liam-Probably if you eat a trillion carrots, then you would be.
 
 
Me-Kai, who is your best friend?
Kai-mommy and daddy and Evangeline
Me-why are we your best friends?
Kai-cause daddy keeps liking you 
 
 
Liam-if I wear my whitey tighties, I’ll have Christmas underwear!!
Me-what makes them Christmas underwear?
Liam-they look like snow!
 
 
Talking about what ‘sin’ is
Kai-like if you hit a piggy and he falls down and gets dead
Liam-no, then you just eat it
 
 
Me-Liam and Kai, stop trying to act like you know more than mommy and daddy do. Who has lived longer? 
Kai-God
 
I will do better about keeping track of things they say so I can remember their strangeness. I’m learning that Liam’s mind is quite logical so he tends to be more sassy and literal. And I just never know what Kai will say. They crack me up!
