I finally was able to see the whole video clip… Amy, I just love that sliding wall, very cool.
I think that you’re creating a cool home that your family will truly enjoy… and that’s what its all about.
Love the “command center” too! 🙂
Thanks for the video, Amy. That was great! It really gives us a better idea of the house, which is hard to get here in Kansas. It’s hard to imagine the depth of rudeness that would allow someone to ask you the cost of anything! And as for offering unasked for criticism, that I can’t even believe. I think some of these people need a short course in manners. Or, maybe a long one! Again, thanks. We both really enjoyed seeing it. And you did a wonderful job…congratulations! I’d have freaked out.
Please don’t listen to any of the negativity! Anyone with a brain cell can see your house is a gem – the ones making snarky comments about you or your walkthru are faceless losers. The idea of a home theater sounds pretty luxurious to me and I don’t even have kids – good for you.
Thanks for sharing – the video really helps me visualize your blog posts better.
I think the house will be wonderful and thank you so much for sharing! It’s nice to see my husband and I are not alone in our renovations. He would die to have a home theatre! Good for you and your family, I’m sure you’ll get lots of good use out of it.
Please post pics of the kitchen when done.
Amy, I thought you (and Mr. B) were great. I really like the videos featuring both some of the reno bloggers, as well as other clips, such as the exposed ceilings. This harkens back to what the blog was in the beginning – people reading about what their neighbors were doing with their houses.
If people want slick production and polished actors….. ah, forget it. Some people will never be happy. They’d then complain it was too slick. Keep doing what you are doing.
Amy – your house is coming along great. Love, love the sliding wall.
lots!
I’d recognize that cinematography anywhere. Nice job. Will there be more of these?
the camera was an old canon xl1 with a wide angel adapter. we use a radio mic and an me 66-
I personally thought that Amy was very natural- and although she said she was nervous she didn’t look it.
The idea of shooting these was to help give people a sense of space and how the changes affected it.
Wow, I wish I had the time to go around and post negative comments to the video blogs of strangers. Must be awesome to have so little else to do.
Anyhow, this was great, because I clearly have no spatial imagination (or familiarity with brownstones) and despite charts, sketches on napkins, explanations and photographs, I haven’t been able to visualize your place at all. Pretty cool. And you were actually just fine in the video.
I am geek enough, though, to admit that what I was really thinking the whole time I was watching it was, I wonder who shot this and what kind of camera they used?
