My 7 y/o daughter and I have been playing with the idea of doing her own internet show for a little while now, but it wasn’t until just today, after attending Podcamp Boston 4 for the weekend that I was motivated to just do it. So after I got home from being away all weekend surrounded by amazing minds and personalities, I told my daughter that we were going to shoot our first episode tonight. She was thrilled….beyond thrilled.
The name of the show (she came up with this on her own) is “Avery Discovers” and the premise is just that…Avery is going to share things with you that she discovers. It could be toys she likes/dislikes, movie reviews, events she attends, etc.
The first episode was thrown together in my home office with some additional lighting from around the house. We used my Kodak Z16 HD digital camera (recommended by Steve Garfield) and hit record. We did it in three takes because the first two were interrupted by Avery’s little sister who decided she wanted to join in (aka whine a lot). I then did some quick editing using iMovie and this is the final product. I hope to eventually create a fancy schmancy introduction and ending, but until then, I will keep it simple.
So I hope you enjoy what we hope will be the first of many episodes of “Avery Discovers” where in this premiere episode she talks about two of her favorite Littlest Pet Shop toys.
I would love your comments/feedback and if you have any requests for what Avery should discover next, let me know.
