Sunday morning. Crichton, now 8 years old, woke up around 7 am.
He filmed and edited a multi-cut movie demonstrating how to make a certain ship design out of Legos.
He compiled the movie in silly movie making program, including a title and credit sequence.
He uploaded his movie to YouTube, after creating a private YouTube account.
All while his parents slept, completely unaware.
I remember him asking if I wanted to see this movie before church, but I was too hungover from the Ward Prom the night before, and already late for Sacrament Meeting at that point.
After church ... after 3 hours of church, and lunch, he finally convinced me to watch his movie. He then mentioned that I could just watch it on YouTube.
It was the YouTube that caught my attention.
He gave me the password to his new YouTube account.
The movie was actually great, all things considered. All things including, as the grand finale, a request for viewers to provide feedback. With my phone number. My CELL phone number.
Needless to say ... the movie is not available for public viewage anymore.
Parents: supervise your kids computer time.
Kids: Sleep in on effing Sunday, okay? IT'S SUNDAY!
If Cri decides to go back and make a "mommy approved" version of his movie, I'll be happy to post it. Do you ever take a moment in your kids life and wonder if it is foreshadowing??
3 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
Eek! Good thing no one called you! That's hilarious!
Your child is the great brain! He will totally be a famous movie direction one day and make some crazy movie about his childhood. The only question you have to ask yourself "Who do I want to portray me in this movie?" I once told my sister that if there was a movie about her life, she would be played by Shannon Dougherty. She has never forgiven me for that:)
I'm both impressed with his abilities and worried about his sensibilities! I hope to see the "mommy approved" version.
