Mike Spohr, I thought you would like this
My 4 year old (Darian) and I decided to make funny baby sign videos with his new baby brother. Darian helped come up with the ideas, gathered the props, shoot the videos, and edit the videosĀ (he used the blade tool in Final Cut lol). We started posting them to Instagram.
Some didn't go according to plan.
Some I let him improvise,
Or him coming up with really cute ideas.
Or slightly offensive ones.
Some were super cute
Some just turned out really weird.
And one, we convinced my husband to do with us.
This project inspired moms to learn baby sign with their children, and they wanted to learn more. It was too hard on my kids to shoot that often. So I created some instructional videos. We started posting these to Instagram as well. Soon babies were doing even more new signs, and it got EVEN CUTER! Hundreds of parents started following us.
All because my little boy wanted to make some funny videos with his mom and new brother.
