This post was originally written in December 2008.  As our family and friends know, video posts have been driving me nuts.  This one was no exception.  We all take online video for granted because we see it everywhere.  Let me tell ya’ — getting video up and running is easy.  Getting quality video up that doesn’t slam your machine’s speed is not.

I think we’ve got things under control: we have streaming video of decent quality that should not bog down your machine.  You’ll need Quicktime, but just about every machine in the known universe has Quicktime on it somewhere.  The video should load up quickly — all you gotta do is hit ‘play’.

Okay…the original post started with a Happy New Year!  Off we go –

Some disclaimers:

First, the lighting in the auditorium was kept low.  The camera is working very, very hard at trying to stay focused, allow enough light, and capture the audio of the kids’ singing (as opposed to those around us).  You’ll see plenty of times when the focus is poor or the picture quality diminishes.  Bear with me.

Second, it was crowded.  This particular time slot was for kindergartners and first graders only, but man was it packed.  I tried to keep the crazies out of our field of vision, but I wasn’t always successful.

And finally, I’m no videographer.  Maybe as we do more of this, I’ll get better.  But Hollywood isn’t calling.

Okay!  Enjoy these two songs, and Happy New Year!
