Too Late for This Year, But Next Year, Consider Advent Story Project

With just a week to go before Christmas, it’s probably too late this year to implement the storied Advent project I saw on the blog My Photo Video. But file it away for next year as a nice idea for telling the story of family holiday preparations.

The blog’s editor (who goes by “Editor”) writes:

Here’s the challenge. Each day take a photo and/or video footage. In the end we’ll create a video storybook of our holiday preparations.

Here are some possible targets of your creative bug:

  • video of Christmas tree shopping
  • a tight close-up photo of the first ornament you unwrap to hang
  • video of hanging the lights
  • a wide-angle shot of the stockings hung with care
  • video of the kids opening gifts
  • a super tall photo of the Christmas tree taken from the floor

The blogger has been going on to present an entry on the blog for each day of advent. Here’s today’s entry.
