My Husband the Videographer!

Is there even such a word?  According to my computer’s built-in spell-check/dictionary, there isn’t.  But I think this describes my husband's new interest extremely well.

Last year, we started shooting videos using a borrowed video camera!  Six months later, we got our own camera that took great stills and adequate video.  (There's now 62 Sure-Fit Designs educational videos up on YouTube).  And now, we’ve gone all out!

The latest acquisition is a jazzy, snazzy upper end video camera with a million bells and whistles.  The learning curve is pretty steep, but I know it’ll all come in time.  We’re both taking lessons on camera work out in the field, in the studio and anything else you can imagine.  But he’s the creative one in this endeavor. 

By the way, his name is Wes and you can expect to see a lot more of his ingenuity as the year progresses.  I’m fortunate that he has this creative bent and of course, all of you benefit from the educational videos and DVD’s we produce that enhance your SFD fitting and sewing experiences.

  1. Hey, Wes!!!! Glad to see you dress a little sharper than that other guy. I have a nice Canon camera Jerry bought me years ago. It was about $1600. I can't even remember if it does videos. I need to get it out of the closet. These little digital cameras are just so easy.
    Glad to see you here in the bloggesphere. (Now, there's a word!) Hugs, Joy

  6. Hi Glenda & Wes,

    I was comparing your present day photos to those in my 1982 copy of the Shirt Kit Instruction Book, and I must say you have both aged very well over the years !
    Keep up the good work.

  7. Hi DiAnne, Thanks so much for the compliment. I guess that comes from years of going daily to the gym (when we're not traveling - which thank the Lord that the Internet is doing that for us these days)and being conscious of what we eat. But even with that, sagging skin and wrinkles now come with the territory and there isn't much either of us are willing to do about that.

  9. Thank you Wes - you do an amazing job! I have just reviewed the "Pants that mix and multiply" and I would never have guessed that this is a relatively new venture for you.
