Just chiming in again with some questions-
do you do any scripting/storyboarding before the trip? As you listen to your song pre-trip (btw, was your oldest happier with the "edgier" choice?) do you map out some shots, either on your paper or just in your head? Or is all just spontaneous?
Any tips on getting my 14 year old son to participate? He runs the other way as soon as he sees the video camera. Practically the only footage I got of him last trip was him serpentining in front of me trying to get out of the shot. My video looked like my DD was an only child.
Thanks again!
ps - Zoe's so big now! It's bad enough I get teary-eyed about MY kids growing up, now I'll get teary-eyed about YOUR kids growing up.
