Hi,
Thank you for your comments.
I think what you are trying to say, if I understand correctly, is that the videos require more of a narative element, to better explain what is going on and the reason for including certain shots that would normally be cut.
I do the edit to formula thing as work only, like you said I am just capturing footage of the kids to share with family and friends, who of course already understand it, like another chapter in a DVD of which they already know the plot. I was unsure whether to post or not, because the emotional detachment of others would render the clips meaningless

: , but what is the point videos (or stills) if no one sees them.
Cheers.
