Imagine watching a video of your life, but only one second for each day. With one of my favorite apps, you can! A record of your life can be kept through many different mediums – written journals, typed journals, scrapbooks, social media. I love recording my life through video. 1SecondEveryday is a free app that makes it really easy to summarize your life in 1 second clips. Here’s a video with some clips of my life this year so you can get a feel for how it works! You can “mash” a video of your clips whenever you want: yearly, monthly, weekly, or randomly! I like to make a video for each month and share it on Instagram. Here’s a short video tutorial on how to use the app! Here are some tips I’ve learned over the year!
ALWAYS film horizontal. Film multiple clips some days: If you forget to film one day, you can time travel one of the extra clips. Plus, it gives you options to choose from. Follow the hashtags #1SecondEveryday or #1Seme to see other peoples’ videos! This helps me get ideas of what to film. When I watch my videos, my favorite clips have people in them. Discover what you like best! Explore different angles! It keeps things interesting and fun. Decide when you want to mash your clips. Some of my friends do it at the end of each year, which results in a 6-7 minute video. I have a hard time watching those because the quick pace requires a little bit more focus. Don’t sacrifice enjoying the moment to get a good shot. If you can get a video clip during the activity, that’s great! But don’t revolve your time around making an amazing video. Capture life as it is. This may mean a shot of you doing the dishes, tying your shoes, spoon-feeding your baby. It could mean dancing, skiing, partying, etc… It is all wonderful and beautiful. If you get the app, tag me in your videos! I would love to see them!
