So apparently all you need is imovie, a lot of time, and the ability to google your way through any problem that comes up and just about anyone can make a video. I did’t say it would be a good video necessarily, but a video none-the-less! It’s a good thing too because we took a few phone videos in Paris just to document the trip (we aren’t usually the videoing type) but I secretly decided to surprise Todd at some point with a little musical montage of our week in the city of lights. It only took me 10 months to do so, but I finally sat down here and there over a couple of weeks to create this little snapshot into our trip and he loved it! I don’t think I’ll be winning any directorial awards anytime soon, but it created a sweet memory for sure.
By the way, those songs in the video are two of my favorites and I listen to them all the time at home (So Nice by Wanda De Sah and La Vie En Rose by Louis Armstrong). Hope you enjoyed a peek into our trip! If you want to see more photos and our Paris recommendations, you can view parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 to get the full scoop. Here’s wishing I’ll have another chance at making a Paris video very soon!

OMG, LG, the part where you’re going up the Eiffel Tower and the trumpet is blasting in la vie en rose?! I got chills! Can’t wait to go to there in a couple months. 🙂
YOU’RE GONNA LOVE IT!!
