After delays, setbacks and reschedules…. We went to Paris! It’s crazy to think we actually went and came back already. Lindsey and I had such an amazing time.
I Always knew I wanted to somehow document this amazing experience. I was torn to what medium though. Initially I thought writing would be ideal mainly because I didn’t want to take myself out of the moments by filming. Also, I have a ton of video projects this year and I really didn’t want to add one more.
The closer we got to the trip though, video was really the only option. A trip of this magnitude deserved a proper video. Lindsey deserved a well documented account of what we did, where we went and our emotions and observations in real time.
The video ended up being the longest I’ve ever made. My previous longest; ‘A Fall Day in Connecticut‘ was a bit long but very chronological to edit. This was a different type of beast. I had over 200 hundred video clips to splice and dice and editing pretty much started the minute we got home so I could make the deadline of a surprise Bday present for Lindsey!
All in all, I am very proud of the finished product. It was a thrill to work on and to re-experience such an amazing trip with such an amazing person.
I hope this will prove as a worthy gift and an accurate retelling of such a magical experience.
Happy Birthday Linds!
