I've been making these photo montage videos this year, and I absolutely love them! I am, by nature (and genetics), an emotional person. So, I really put a lot of effort in the music and placement of the pictures in these videos. Honestly, it's my heart that goes into. If I don't cry while watching the final cut, I didn't do it right! haha
So, one of the songs that I chose this year for a family video was "I Was in His Plans" written by a gentleman in California named Marvin Lane. I found the song on Sound Click, bought it, and added it to the video. I got an email from him thanking me for buying the song. And because the music has to be unlicensed in order for me to use, I showed him the video, and asked if it was ok to use. He gave me permission, and we have been "email-facebook" friends ever since. (Gee, that was a rabbit trail).
(This is the family of Denise - there are 7 kids, and yes, the baby's name is "Seven") Here is that first video:
So, throughout this year, Marvin had the idea to finally put a couple of songs he wrote for his wife to music (they do that in Nashville), scan a bunch of pictures, and have me make a video for his wife for Christmas. WOW! What a wonderful idea!
Through a lot of emails, and snail mail to get his CD to me, the videos were made back in the fall, and he had to SIT on them for 3 months! I think I may have been more excited for her to see them than he was. (Not really, but I certainly thought about him and his bride every day the past few weeks!)
On Christmas Eve he revealed one to the whole family, and Christmas Day, the other. He's given me permission to share, now that the cats outta the bag.
So, I present a man that loves his wife...
And the way I want to be loved. : )
