VIDEO: Lumiere Rules

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.

    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.
