I shot this video while playing with my nephews last week on Easter, they were so happy and full of joy that i got a little bit nostalgic :) 
We should never forget how being a child was like…

Camera: Canon 5d Mark II
Lens: Canon 24-70mm f2.8
Edited: Final Cut
Additional animation: Motion 

Song: Summer 78 (instrumental) by Yann tiersen

I remember my Dad’s home videos being longwinded and a chore to sit through, but maybe that’s because we don’t have the editing software we have today. I doubt Dad would have splurged on a VHS editing machine back then anyway. Today, even the basic Macbooks come with iMovie and iDvd. 

It’s getting easier to make anything we’ve experienced cinematic. Which is why I find this video so lovely. Speaking as a future aunt to be, the prospect of making future home videos of my little niece really excites me.
