Yes, yes that is my balling my eyes out at age 7.
Career wise, 2016 was more than I could ask for. I've been blessed with hours of video practice right out of college and my portfolio is looking full. However, I think my most valued moment of 2016 was becoming a homeowner. For the first 19 years of my life I was lucky enough to have the same home. For the last 5 years I rented 4 different houses and even though I consider my roommates family, I never felt like I could call those places, "home." Something was missing. In 2015, after 20+ years of ownership, my parents sold the Gatchellville house. Ever since then I have been converting over 100 VHS tapes into video files and working on this monstrosity of a montage. It has been a highly emotional experience watching my siblings and I grow up in this house (and also highly amusing). This is just a small segment of the video I am working on. When I showed this sneak peek at our family Christmas party, everyone laughed and cheered, "again again!" when it was finished playing. I think it would be fun to film their reaction when the whole video is finished. (Fingers crossed I don't forget by then!) I'm not sure why I have felt "home" less the last 5 years. Perhaps it is because I needed the closure of my childhood home selling. Or maybe it was because I haven't been putting candles in every window for Christmas. I'm sure there are many factors, but I am so happy heading into 2017. Music: John Butler, "Ocean"
