Compassion for our intrepid recreatrix!! I genuinely love how you formatted this and the fact you filmed camp breakdown means you didn't give up. The footage you did get was great, regardless of which war it was from 😉 I think my favorite was Tornado in their blue dress just chillin while you stirred the pot

What a great video! I appreciate you sharing with all of us. (As a viewer, I feel I need to say that I, personally, enjoy watching people enjoy living their lives, including engaging with friends and other folk. I like that it wasn't much footage, because you were busy doing all that. I feel I can't say this adequately.) Also, I thought you might enjoy knowing that the cats at the house where I am visiting found almost all the music so soothing that they settled down & fell back asleep. Typical morning tea for me: blavk English breakfast with milk

Life is for living, so a small amount of footage told in this way is absolutely perfect. 100% will watch again tomorrow while I have to mark some more exam papers. Also, congratulations to Tornado on her first green baby. Hope she does better at keeping green things alive better than me😊.

Now I need to go watch V’s SCA video. What a cute video. Hey, life happens. I tend to get laser focused on things very easily to the exclusion of all else, so I am certainly empathize! I did enjoy the footage I did see. I went to a few SCA events in the early 2000s and would certainly love to do it again. My sister went with me back then, and I have horrible social anxiety, but historical reenactment is so in my wheelhouse. I’m in Texas too, so was in Anstarra (sp.?) too. Take care.

I'm so glad you had such a good time. I too am guilty of being far too busy at events to get my camera out and take pictures or film. I enjoyed seeing what you did get. Unfortunately, I had a heart attack in June and so was unable to get to any events of my society this year (the Sealed Knot, English Civil War). I really missed seeing all my chosen family. I'm hoping to be well enough to go next summer but in the meantime I have yours and your friends videos to keep me going. Thank you. 💙

Nope. I’m a one-woman show. Tornado helps when they feel like it, but honestly it’s just as much work to train someone to use the equipment and then direct them as film it myself. Maybe more.

This made me smile...For next time: A suggestion from a Mom who had to juggle photographer with EVERYTHING else. As I understand it, you have a cool new camera-Bring your old camera and let Tornado have free reign with NO pressure. She had some great framing shots in the cape reveal (?)...even if you use none of the footage they get, it's kind of cool to see what your kid sees and who knows may end up as an occasional "Mom and Me" adventure

I had to laugh as I watched this video. One of my greatest bug-bears with myself is that I always forget to take photos of events, garb, cool things happening in Court. I have made some amazing garb over the years which I am so proud of, but only have 1-2 bad photos where I am in the background looking the other way. I love the atmosphere at events, even ones that have a high level of mundanity, and feel so immersed that my phone only comes out when I deliberately need to check something or answer. Unfortunately I am also not in a position where I can afford professional photoshoots. I have lost a lot of weight lately (an unwanted side effect of my medication), and am really quite sad that I don't have any good photos of some of the amazing SCA garb, other historical costuming, and mundane vintage style outfits that no longer fit. I have however had a whole lot of vanity labels made, so that wherever and whoever ends up with these clothes and costumes will have some provenance.
