She made a video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_jaLW7OsvY) I'm proud of her.
-
Nicely done, definitely superior to the interminable anime-to-random-music videos that fill youtube.
-
That's pretty good stuff - clean editing, pacing to match the music, etc.
Also, I hate to break it to you, but she's not a baby anymore.
-
She'll always be my baby.
I thought it was pretty decent for a 14 year old. She shot all the footage herself and did all the editing. The end is better than the beginning.
-
Nicely done yet still lacking footage of AW on Jeopardy.
-
Nice work! And a lot better than the only video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XVkyw17osQ) I've ever made and submitted to youtube. So many inside jokes...
-
this is pretty cool.
It is weird to me that at this point, there are kids doing this stuff and... they are so much younger than me. They are KIDS.
I am suddenly at a point where everyone younger than me is just SO YOUNG.
Although yesterday a Junior girl I've been in class with all year told me she always thought I was a senior, so, maybe I look old? I don't really think I do...
Did she learn how to do all this stuff by herself? Technology is so amazing.
I am glad that you are proud of your kid doing stuff like this. And that your daughter wanted to show this to you. You are a good dad.

Yeah. About 5 years younger. A veritable eternity.

She did. It is.

How could I not be???
And that your daughter wanted to show this to you.
Yes. Me too. She's usually very secretive about her stuff, so I'm very pleased. Although I think she's proud of her work and looking for a little validation. I should her some of your comments -- she was mad at me for posting the link, but pleased with the response.
You are a good dad.
I try, but there are plenty of aspects of it I suck at.
-
I mean, some parents are not into their kids doing this kind of stuff. I don't know. My parents always were, but I knew other kids whose parents were not into it.
-
Our esteemed August West is not your typical parent.
-
This (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pmcd9/1786103184/) is the best picture I have of August and his daughter.

Wow, that's really good, and not even just for a first movie. It's just good in general (especially in relation to the videos that YouTube saw fit to suggest on your daughter's video page).
Do you know what software she used to make this?
If she's really interested in video editing, get that girl a Mac with Final Cut Express ASAP. She could be employable by the time she leaves high school if she learns the tools now. And there's no reason not to learn the tools, since you can get them on a $1200 consumer computer and practice in your bedroom with techniques you read on the internet.
Whenever I start to worry for our future (I listened to the radio for a few minutes yesterday) I'll encounter something like this and then think maybe we'll be okay.
