Our 1 Second Everyday Video Project

How I’ve documented the past 365 days using the 1 Second Everyday Video App and why I have loved every second of it! Check out the images from our year as well as the entire video, below.

Kristen Getting a Tattoo 1 Second Everyday

Exactly one year ago May 1st, I started a journey of a lifetime. Yes, I got my very first tattoo, but more importantly I started my own 1 Second Everyday Video project.

My friend Cheryl was into her second year of capturing 1 second of video memories everyday. I fell in love with her very first 365 day compilation and decided I wanted to give this kind of video project a try as well. I am so very glad I did. Doing a 1 Second Everyday video project has probably been one of the most fun and meaningful projects I’ve ever embarked on. 

Jacob and I in NYC 1 Second Everyday Video

I’ve never been great at taking video, but it’s always been a goal of mine. As someone who has very few pictures of myself growing up, and no video that I know of, I knew I wanted things to be a bit different for my kids. Capturing memories through photographs is one thing… having voices and movement and mannerisms captured in video is even better. I love that this project forced me to use the video function of my iPhone to capture memories on a daily basis. I learned a lot about video just through everyday practice alone.

Just like I’ve found when doing a Project 365 photo project, not every day was exciting and video worthy. But some of my favorite videos are just everyday moments, around the house or in our life, captured on video.

The 1 Second Everyday app, which is FREE in iTunes, makes keeping up with this project so simple. A built in calendar allows you to pull and trim videos from that day, and compiles them into mashups for whatever date range you want to set. (You may remember my Summer of Yes blog post, where I shared our 1 second each day from the summer). Also, you can set the app to push you a reminder to take a video each day, so you don’t forget. I missed taking a video just one day out of the entire 365 days! Some videos were down to the wire, but mostly, taking videos became a habit and something I really looked forward to doing each day!

For the ins and outs of how the app works, Cheryl from Tidy Mom has an excellent 1 Second Everyday tutorial over on her blog.  Make sure to watch her 1 Second Everyday videos as well. They are really awesome (and make me want to be a part of her family!).

If you’ve been thinking about ways to capture and preserve memories of your family and daily life, I can’t recommend the 1 Second Everyday project enough. We’ve opened the app as a family and have watched it so many times throughout the past year. The “oh I remember that” or “do you remember on that day when this happened” conversations afterwards have been priceless. I can’t recommend it enough (and this is not a sponsored post at all… I’m just so thankful I jumped in a year ago and started it!).

If you have an extra 8 minutes to spare, our 1 Second a day video from May 1st 2015 – April 30th 2016 is below. I hope you enjoy it! (Unlike Cheryl, I chose to not set our video to music… I really like the everyday noises from the video and didn’t want to cover those up with music!).

PS – Start today – don’t put it off until the New Year. I’m starting my second year today. Join me! You won’t regret it!

    So precious!!! And I love how concise the 1-second idea is. I want to do this with James and Pete so we can capture our time as a new family. How awesome it’s a free app. Thanks!

      I was actually thinking of you when I was watching other 1SE videos today. So many are of babies and capturing their first years of life…you totally should do it!

    I can’t believe it’s been a year already! I loved your video! Isn’t it great how much memory 1 second can hold? I really wanted to take a break when I finished our 365, but after taking almost a year off, I think I’m ready to do it again, I keep thinking about all the moments in the last 9 months I’ve missed.

      I’m going to try and keep on going – as once you get in the habit it really isn’t hard and the end result is such a gift! I am so thankful you showed this to me!

    I absolutely LOVE it! This app is so cool! I really love that even if I forget to make a video it will add a photo too! You had one amazing year, Kristen! 😀

      Yes! That’s what’s really cool about it… it doesn’t have to be perfect and they understand people forget. And the photos kind of move (like the Ken Burns effect) so you can’t totally tell it’s just a picture unless you are really watching closely!

    I LOVE it! Since I got a phone with more space, it’s been my goal to take more video, too. I remember seeing Cheryl’s last year, and wanting to do it, but NOW I really want to! Fun video memories;)

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!
.
Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

C is for Coaching, Coffee and Crystals! Lots of C words today. My @rockyourhappy coaching practice has been the best thing. I am so lucky to be working with really great clients who are doing the hard work and making big changes in their lives. It’s been the perfect fit for me and I know it’s what I am meant to be doing. Coffee, of course, is my favorite C word and Crystals…my daughters got me into the energy powers of crystals and it’s been really fun to learn all about them.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
.

This month in @kimklassen photography Inner Circle, we’re tackling the alphabet, with an A-Z photography challenge (interpreting that however we see fit). If you want to join us, check out this wonderful community of photographers at @kimklassen_innercircle 📷.
