The Reconnect (hello again family I missed your faces)
After 72 hours of editing and staring into a computer screen at dance machines, I needed to be around my family in one of their most favorite places, and I needed to see them light up, and be happy. So I said: "Family! We're going to the beach."
And so we did.
* Because people have asked about stuff. I edited the Dance Party, and almost all of the videos I have done, with iMovie. It is simple, and fast, and has great options, and Apple does not pay me or give me stuff to say that. Although they should :) The one thing I will say is that I do not use their slow motion features in iMovie because it never looks smooth. I shoot my slow motion clips in 60 FPS and then take them into Cinema Tools and convert them into 24 FPS and then bring those clips into iMovie to use, and they look smooth and awesome. The only thing iMovie does not have are star wipes. I would love some star wipes.

P.S. I have a BIG push on my plate to get the charity album "Do Fun Stuff" ready to launch and to get all of the people who have signed on to help organized and ready. So I am going to be real out to lunch on some things around here.

That is precious! How fun!!!!!
Tessa's stompy walk.. it kills me
OMG, I need to learn how to do this to capture my son's first Summer at the beach! He's nearly 4 months old so I don't have long!
My favourite part is where Cole is holding Tessa up and her little chubby legs are hovering above the waves! Golden.

i had a baby right before yall did

those legs

Rockin' vid!
Ridiculously cute....the whole lot of you!
Love all the Tessa toddling and curling toes in the water you caught! So peaceful!
you're so brave to bring your camera to the beach. i did this for the first time last weekend and i was paranoid the entire time about sand. and especially about little kids trying to get their paws on my camera :)
beautiful video and perfect, whimsical music.
love the music. what is it?
I love love love that video! It's so cute how Tessa smiles at people running by. Must have been a fun day!
This little stop at the beach was my favorite part of the morning. xxx
They are all incredibly beautiful. xx
So cute! I love that clumsy one-yr-old walk.
And I couldn't help but notice how CLEAN your beach is...wow!
The Music is "You're So Cool" from True Romance it was composed by Hans Zimmer.
The beach is clean :)
@ Raena- I was terrified having the camera out as well. i had it in a ziplock bag, and tied on my wrist, I only shot with it for like 20 minutes and then locked it in the car, in a case. So paranoid believe me. But I wanted to capture that walk on the beach so bad.
I love reading about your photographic adventures,and your family trips. What a sweet little family you have!
I'm not sure if you or Cole watch Project Runway, but your LB looks an awful lot like Mondo, a designer from Colorado. I'm not sure if it's the dark hair, or the bright eyes but the two seem to be replica's of each other. I hope that one day we can see LB on a creative outlet show displaying his talents and teaching us all a bit about his world!
There is so much joy in this video. I watched it twice. LOVE.
Perfect music. The feel just goes with the video. I love Tessa's toes at the end of the video when she is sitting in the water.
Such a sweet treat - thanks for sharing with us all! Your family is beautiful.
I love how you splice in the music into your videos...and your music choices are always so perfect! Maybe it's time to think big...Sundance short films, perhaps? (yeah, I have no idea what the professional/correct term is, but "splice sounds alright to me.)
You capture the best moments on that video camera... they will be so fun for you & your family to look back on.
And Tessa's little strut cracks me up!
...am all teary now... what a beautiful video, film, family, day, music....
it's amazing how it's the little things that make our life so much better and meaningful.
adorable!!! Tessa's (literal) faceplant, and LB's amazing sweetness, and the T's toesies at 2:17 are killing me! What a sweet little vid.
So lovely I could cry. Beautiful beautiful.
The part where Tessa smiles at LB running by is my favorite.
Another check in the "pro" column for making babies. Thank you.
Gorgeous. I am really looking forward to the album.
Ryan, what are star wipes? Because it sounds like fancy toilet paper.
I want to be part of your cute family so bad. ADORABLE video!!!
1) Love the video, I can't believe how adventurous Tessa is! LB is equally adorable!
2) True Romance theme: yeeessss
Beautiful! Such a wonderful way to capture the memories. Great music too. Your family is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
perfection! watching the tangerine check out the beach and smile brought a lovely little ray of sunshine into my dining room this morning. it was sweet to see the sweet smiles of LB, natch, as well. thanks for sharing your beautiful family with us!
This is so sweet, Ryan.
I'm working on my beach video....in my head :) Maybe it will be one of my ideas that I actually put into play, one day.
Cute cute cute! something about the music and Tessa running back and forth in the waves reminds me of little baby sea turtles heading out into the ocean. Adorable!
I want to bring Elsie back to the beach now that she's a bit older and can crawl all over the show. She'll probably just use her new-found powers of mobility to find the tastiest patches of sand.
I love the part where Tessa is licking her sea-salty lips. Sooo cute!
oh goodness. this melted me to pieces. that music, that baby walk, LB looks SO happy, and my favorite part? when that little boy walked past Tessa and her face just lit up. how freaking cute was that?! you guys are adorable. :)
-Tina
p.s. is there anyway i can watch a Vimeo movie without it being so choppy? i don't know if it's my computer or what, but they are never ever smooth. :(
This was absolutely adorable! I know you hear it all the time, but you have a gorgeous family! I loved Tessa's walk, but the face plant followed by a sad snuggle with Cole was even cuter.
You need to post some sort of tutorial or something about how to capture and create these mini-movies ... After watching, I'm embarrassed by the totally typical videos I have of my 10-month-old. I'd much rather have a cute soundtrack and visually appealing scenes to convey the feeling of the moment, than one-shot camera work and my shrill voice any day!
Tessa's faceplant is priceless! She and LB are so adorable - they look like they had a fun day!
They look so happy and carefree! What a wonderful childhood you and Cole are providing for both the kids. The opportunity to explore, have fun and occasionally face plant all by yourself! :-)
Love this!
LB has some looks that look just like his mommy!! So cute!
What a great day and I like the "pause" in the car for the rains to pass. :)
This video put a huge smile on my face! Tessa is about a month older than my son and she does so many of the same things that he does... It is cute to see a little female version of the same movements! I am a huge fan of your videos and photos :)
LOVE IT.
And Props to you two for letting your kids run around and fall and crawl and get hit with the water. It's the best.
I adore how Tessa looks at the kid walk by and smile.
Love it.
This brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. I instantly recognized the music from True Romance(one of my favorite instrumentals) because I love the scene it's from. And then seeing Miss Tessa's sweet face and how she looks at LB. I'm a goner! Thank you!!
after getting used to final cut pro..something version whatever. i just can't get used to imovie. it's just. too simple? i don't even know. and it doesn't matter since you work magic! go you and your magic self!! also your family is gorgeous, and all the fantastic-ness that family should be :D
aw how sweet!
So much fun! Little girl legs dangling in the water :D
Priceless! Love the part where LB holds Tessa & just drops her when he is done. :)
Priceless! Love the part where LB holds Tessa & just drops her when he is done. :)
perfection!!
chubby little feet running into the water <3 so precious!
Oh <3, your family are gorgeous. :)
Tessa pointing her little toes and kicking at the waves is just magic.
Beautiful! And love that Tessa's walk reminds me of little crabs dancing across the wet sand. You have a gorgeous little family there Ryan.
Sx
That was awesome!!! Did LB sign finished at eh end?
so nice, but bummed that you weren't in the video.
Hey - is this normal? Your whole post is re-posted here:
http://pregnancy.medicalcenterinfo.com/
Did you know that? Is this a Mama Pop thing? I just wanted you to know in case someone was ripping your stuff off.
Ah I love it! Tessa looks so delighted by everything around her! your family is lovely, thank you for sharing
squisito!! so sweet and perfect, a little taste of how good it can be. thank you
What camera is it you have? I'm sure you've said it many times before, but I can't remember :)
Ryan, I wanted to talk to you about video last Saturday, but I think I was too inebriated to do so. My husband has delved into it and learned it fully. Me, though? I'm lagging behind.
Anyway, just wanted to say again that it was a pleasure to meet you, and you are definitely inspiring me to learn the damn HD!
Blown away
1. I love that song from True Romance - I played it at my wedding
2. I love watching Tessa stare and laugh at the other kids running
3. You have a beautiful family Ryan - I know you realize how lucky you really are
xox
I love the clip of Cole holding tessa's hands as she played with her feet in the water. Precious.
favorite moments:
-tessa's faceplant
-cole's proud stoicism
-LB moving his lips - i can almost hear him
-tessa's twiddling toes in the water
-the love you see in LB as he holds her
-the love i see through you
God, that video just made me feel good. And you guilted me into wanting to take my 2 little ones to the beach. My little girl (16 mos) has never set foot on the beach. I guess it's about time. I can't believe how gorgeous those shots were. Oh, and I love the nose dive into the sand. Classic! Tessa and LB are so frickin cute.
i love seeing nicole smile with her kids. i think she's truly happiest with them.
that song, is probably the reason i have always loved true romance. besides the fact that its a great film. good work ryan!
Thanks for the info. on what song that was. You've inspired me to learn how to video edit and make a short clip of my daughter's first year (quickly approaching!) - I was up until midnight figuring it out :)
OH MY GOD your daughter is seriously adorable. Her teary face after she fell was too cute. And the way she looked at the surfer! Damn, its stuff like this that makes waiting to have babies difficult!
The music makes this lovelier still. What a beautiful family and a beautiful day! Love the reflections on the sand, too. <3
You have a gorgeous family! Tessa little waddle is so freakin' cute.
this is magic.
I came back to this post today as I realised i rushed through it a while back and didn't get to see the video. I love Tessa's costume, please tell Cole. And that walk with the little bum waddle of sorts, man oh man she's getting cute. Thank you for another (moving) snapshot of your lovely family Ryan.
i love your video!
oh em goodness, that feels like life. i love you all and you would be my bestest friend-family if we knew each other. i would take you everywhere.
