Here is a video of my father and I sitting on a couch.
There is no sound on purpose, so turn up your music.
Why am I posting this?
Andreas and Brittany started a little game called the Lumiere rules.
The rules are as follows:
- 60 seconds max.
- Fixed camera
- No audio
- No zoom
- No edit
- No effects
I made this video with my father back in 2004 when I was experimenting with videoblogging. My father always seems very shy around cameras, and I was shy trying to record him, so I decided to just record us sitting there. My kids can just watch us be ourselves. Kind of reminds me of Warhol’s Screentest.
Andreas made a great page that has all the Lumiere videos people are making.

Feel free to join the fun.

Hah! I saw that glance over at your Dad!
Love the look on his face.
I am SO glad you joined us, especially with this video! It’s the middle of the night, I can’t sleep, so I got up and found this in my inbox. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Your dad is handsome and looks kind. You crack me up and I love seeing the you of years past. Hoo-ray for lumieres!
Kids? You guys are preggers!?!? Just kidding! This is sweet. Wish I had done something like that with my dad. He’d never have sat still for it.
You should have posted this on Father’s Day.
you look like such a punk, punk.
