Ryan's First Year (Video)

grinsandgiggles · June 2010

We have a busy day planned for tomorrow (presents from us, zoo, and dinner), so I thought I'd post this tonight.

It's long (almost 12 minutes), sorry. I made it for us to have as he grows older though. There's video of his party at the end if you don't want to watch the whole thing.

I can't believe he's a year old already. Happy Birthday baby boy!

I had to pause it at 8 minutes in to tell you how awesome this is! I love how you have video integrated as well. I love the first song you used, do you mind telling me the name and singer? I've heard the song before, but don't recognize that version. Beautiful job!!

Happy Birthday Ryan!

That song is Baby Mine (from Dumbo) by Alison Krauss.

So sweet! You did a great job putting it together, and your son is adorable!

Can you tell me what the last song is that you used on the video?

I love the video. You have such great pictures of his 1st year. Hope you all have a fun day tomorrow!

I got it from a seller on Etsy:

Looks like they're closed though. I'm sure they'll be back...at least I hope!

grinsandgiggles · June 2010

Thanks everyone for the kind words and for the birthday wishes! They sure grow-up fast!

I got misty! I am looking at pics and videos of these babies that are a few weeks older than my DD and I am crying.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!

Loved it!

OMG. This is great!

The pouty pics of him are priceless!

What program did you use to make this video?

ETA: I realize my above questions sounds stupid, as I assume you used Vimeo, but do you have the free membership or the one you pay for?

pharmacygirl · June 2010

that is awesome - we chose baby mine for DS2 video too. I am dying to get it. We had our wedding videographer put his together.

Not a stupid question. I actually created it with Pinnacle Studio HD (a program you buy either online or at a store). I've used OneTrueMedia.com in the past and I highly recommend it (I just wanted a hi-resolution file for me to burn without buying it). Super easy. I paid for a month (which is like $3-4) to use it so that I could include my own music.

I then uploaded it to Vimeo (a video host), and I have the free account.

Can't wait to see it! I think I remember you posting your DS1's video? and it was so beautiful!

It's 3am, & I'm all teared up now. What an awesome keepsake for your lil guy. Happy Birthday to him, & "Happy Mother's Day" to you. I know it's the wrong month and all, but this day is special for you, too.
