“Some stories are true that never happened.”
~Elie Weisel
I love my Macbook. A lot. It’s safe to say there’d be no Writer Dad without it.
It’s possible I might’ve stumbled into writing anyway, but it wouldn’t have been in the ninja in the dead of night way it did.
I feel like I can do anything with my notebook. I don’t mean curing hunger or bending time, but I can write books, make music, or cut movies.
Maybe one day paint pictures.
Everyone can be an artisan.
A limitless toolbox, often weighing less than five pounds, is available to most.
I love to learn.
The more I learn, the more I understand how little I know.
I’ve wanted to make a video. I have the tools, just never used them. But there are plenty of tutorials and the software is easy to use, so I don’t really have an excuse not to.
Today’s release is an old ditty, in different clothing. I’m not sure who among us has been here since we last saw it, but it’s different enough to make it worthy.
I hope you enjoy. I’d love to hear what you think, good or bad.
If you enjoy it, please consider Stumbling, or following the link and leaving a comment on Youtube or Viddler.
Thanks,
Writer Dad

This video would not have been possible without the help of Ian from Indigo Spot, who not only helped me figure out why I was a gimp in the first place, but how I can avoid being a gimp in the future. Thanks, Ian, and everyone who piled in the tow truck. You guys were amazing.

My favorite part of this post is: “The more I learn, the more I understand how little I know. ” This is exactly how I feel!

Nice video! All your efforts paid off :). Oops, sorry, that pun was really unintentional. Although I just noticed I’m not deleting it :p.
Great job!

As you know, I’ve just uploaded mine. I know many have offered their help too. But if you need mine specifically, let me know. I used a Mac for mine and the software imovie maker. If you need help, write to me, ok?
BTW, I can barely keep up with your posts! I’ve not seen the previous video that you’ve published. Awesome! The music made the story sound pretty dramatic. I’m glad that you put it here for people like me.

@Writer Dad: Nope. I read later that you couldn’t get it working and went to sleep. No big deal for me, I still needed to be at work.

Are you sure you never saw “10?” It sure sounded like “10.” I was sure Bo Derek was going to appear and your blog was going rated “R.” :)

BC Doan: We know nothing, but if we work a lifetime at learning, we might finally gain something.
Dave Fowler: Thanks, man. You are always so kind.
Goodfather: I love puns. Don’t ever delete them.

Matthew: Cool beans.
Malathionman: Maybe someday; Writer Dad X
Bamboo: I pet her frequently.

Awesome job on the video! I loved both versions (the written and the video). The video, here, is really nice because it is more visual – with pictures and music. A very nice touch to the story. I find music to be very motivating, and really liked the choice you had to go with the story here. Great job on sharing this story through a different medium.

Ahhhh! Yay! It’s up! WTG Writer Dad! I love it! *clap*
I just ate chocoate and have been drinking coffee all morning. Do I sound a bit hyped up and overdramatic? Maybe.
Still, I love it. :)

Writer Dad,
I’ll have to come back and watch the video but I just wanted to pop in and say a moment of sychronicity when I saw Elie Weisel because I was just thinking of reading that book by him *goes to the bookshelf gets book* called, “Night.” Yes. It won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Take care Writer Dad dude.

Sunil: What is that? Is that when I just film myself saying what I want to say instead of writing it? That could be interesting.
Lance: Thanks. It was fun to twist the story into something different. I have a feeling I’m not quite finished with it.
Emily: Chocolate and coffee are yummy and yummier. I should have included more chocolate in my weekend. Bad, Writer Dad. Thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated.
Ellen: Thanks Ellen, dudette. Synchronicity is sweet.

Hi Writer Dad,
I love how you put that, “The more I learn, the more I understand how little I know.” That holds true for me, too, and makes me want to learn even more. It’s a wonderful never ending cycle.

I enjoyed both versions of this story, Writer Dad. The video is so cool with the photos you incorporated.
Funny coincidence, after our son was born my husband made a short video I dubbed The Story of R’s Birth (it was not graphic, thankfully!) and he used Bolero as background music in it as well. Hmmmmm.
Glad you persevered through the hard tech stuff to reach your goal! Well done!
