A Family Defined (In High Definition)

As part of the Sony DigiDad Project I was given (on loan) a Sony Handicam HDR-XR500V High Definition digital camcorder and asked to create a "Heritage" video about my family. I took the camera with me on a business trip to NY and stopped by my Parent's apartment to capture them on video. Rather than "interview" them, I chose to simply turn the camera on and let them talk. And talk they did... For purposes of the SonyDads project and my more detailed blog post at www.dadomatic.com, I tried to distill an hour or so of captured video into this 7 minute capsule. I hope it accurately captures the remarkable relationship my parents have, as well as the things that clearly are at the root of of my being: Family, Food, and a good sense of humor!

This is a great video. It's the kind of thing I'd like to do with my family. Nice work!

Thanks Greg. I am really glad I did it, as I know in time it will become more important to me and my kids. Thanks again for your comment!
