For Jamie's 6th birthday, we interviewed Jamie about his love for LEGO. Then we took quotes from the interview and structured them into a beat poem (of sorts). Finally, Jamie performed the beat poem in a studio, which we then interspersed with time-lapse B-roll of him building a variety of Lego sets. Needless to say, it was one of his favorite videos to make.

When Jamie was an only child, Joe and I went all-out to create a special birthday video for him each year. Because of how time-consuming these videos were, we often quipped we couldn't possibly have a second child. 

Oh well.

Welcome to the world, Julian! Here is your first video.

During the preschool years we focus a lot on teaching our children new skills. Because of that, it's easy to forget how wise our children innately are. For Jamie's 4th birthday, we reflected on this.

For his 3rd birthday, we decided to interview Jamie to get his own thoughts on the past year. It turned out to involve a lot of animal sounds.

Jamie's 2nd year was all about learning language. That's why we incorporated his very own words into this special birthday rhyme. "Day in the Life" chronicles a typical day in Jamie's life, filled with all the wonderful little idiosyncrasies of an almost 2 year-old.

This is the one that started it all. Our friend Caryn filmed, Joe edited and within 3 days all of our family and friends scattered around the world learned Jamie's name and saw his face for the first time.
