So I got this idea from my man Carlos at Ragamuffin Soul. He snatched it from a Flickr group. After I watched his I remembered seeing El Clinto’s a few weeks ago.
What can I say, I have low sales resistance when it comes to bandwagons.
Basically you video yourself throughout a typical day. In the end you edit the footage together, into a 90 second montage, with snippets no greater than 2 seconds each. This rule should not be broken under any circumstances. Actually, that’s not correct. If you have a cute little adopted Asian kid who comes screaming through your living room looking all sorts of cool… that’s the one exception. Let the clip go 3 or 4 seconds easy, if not 5 or 6.
I tried to get a cute little Asian kid in the video for my day yesterday. I even found one, but he didn’t run around and look all cute and stuff. He just sort of stood there with food in his mouth mumbling, so I cut it off at like 1.8 seconds. Who wants to see that crap?
I’m rambling. Here’s the video.

This was a fun, quick little project, and I was able to get some good stuff in to help date the video. Maybe I’ll make it a routine to do on the eve of my birth every year or so.
That is too funny! 90 sec day is a great idea. It almost reminds me of the second and third Bourne movies where they do not stay on one shot for more than two to three seconds.
You're right about that guy stuffing food in his mouth (you know who you are). Maybe you should have cut him down to 0.8 seconds.
BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Some parents are fluent in nursery rhymes. Some make due with what they know. Chalk me up in group #2.
This is great! I don't have a video camera. I mean, I do, but I've no idea where it is.
Well done.
We watched this video last week and it was AWESOME! Makes us think about doing one of our own, perhaps! You did a great job on it!
I greatly appreciate that you had Jon Foreman tunes going in the background of your work. He is one of my all-time favorites and I keep him on repeat most days.
And the icanhascheezburger blip…classic!
If I had the patience (and a video editor that doesn't crash every 2.5 seconds), I'd give the whole 90-second deal a shot.
