We can make magic believe it or not! Teenie Toddler Films started off with one simple video, following my friend’s daughter around playing dress up. Since then, I have created family videos on farms, for birthdays, holiday celebrations and more! But there is still something so sweet about that simple memory of a daughter playing dress up. As an adult who’s spent ten years working in fashion, I’ve never stopped playing dress up; so getting to film these moments is something near and dear to me.
Viviana and her daughters brought to life the adorable magic of these Bobbidi Kid dresses on a misty fall day. I met Viviana through a social media post. Her style and craftiness instantly appealed to me, and I knew I wanted to collaborate! She had mentioned that she had partnered up with Bobbidi kids and that this might be the perfect opportunity for a sweet little video about these adorable princess style dresses. She had this vision of the girls magically changing into the dresses from their everyday clothes, set to the beat of the song. I knew this would be a challenge to film and edit, but if done right, would be as equally cute as it was fun to capture.
I’ve had this vision from day one, that these videos would be set to sweet ukulele versions of popular songs. However, I knew that as the company grew, supplying music that wasn’t copyrighted was going to start to be a problem. My husband and I are both musicians, and knew that we had an opportunity here to make something unique for our clients. Personalized music made just for them and their little ones. I asked my husband to set up a recording studio in the basement. A man to classically understate his talents, he said “ok but I can’t play the ukulele.” Not even half an hour later, he was playing Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo on the ukulele. This video marks the first recorded song we have made for Teenie Toddler Films.
This video inspired a new way of editing for me. Playful cuts set to music. Making magic believe it or not!
