Just wondering. Here is my January. Feel free to share your first month if you made it this far.
I won't share anymore months until the end if I'm just chatting in a thread by myself. I must say, having done this already last year, this year has been 100 times easier. I don't see me quitting and losing motivation like I did in 2014.

I'm hanging in there - have done everyday since I started on 4th Jan. My first goal was to do January, now my next one will be Feb,...1 goal achieved, 11 to go! I've never uploaded anything on to youtube and I am in the middle of packing up my entire flat (having the floors done next week) so don't have the time to work it all out now. Will post next month when things have settled down. Can't see your video though as it says it's private

Yes me! I was finishing up January tonight but my power just went out! I'm connected to the internet on my laptop through the hotspot on my mobile, but I can't get onto the PC where my 1SE project is. Is there any other way of sharing a video other than You Tube?

Yep!! I had a couple of events that I forgot to.video. So frustrating! Yes I had one major miss, it was a dinner...for me! I totally forgot to video any part of it. I ended videoing a fountain on the way home and then the next day I videoed a picture of the restaurant on my computer. I figure it's a day late, but I am treating this as a sort of mini video diary, so if I watch it again in a few years, I'll know it was the wrong day but it will still bring back the memory. Then other days I've videoed 4 good things and had to make myself choose.

On a couple of days I have used 2 videos because I haven't been able to choose. I figure no-one is going to sit there counting and say "There are 34 videos but only 31 days in January!!!"

Instead of video, I'm doing a picture a day and I'll say I'm semi-successful. I missed 5 days in January. I'm still committed. I just need to keep my camera with me more. I guess I could take pictures with my phone, but I'm doing this is part to become a better photographer and learn how to use my camera.

I don't see me quitting and losing motivation like I did in 2014. Even if you are talking to yourself, I'd still love to see it! I have about ten clips from Jan (not doing a second a day, longer clips/fewer of them) and have thought about starting to edit. But I want the music I pick to fit too, and wonder if editing will be easier when I have all the video. At least with a second a day, you know your video will e 365 seconds long! Right now I have edited my video snippets down to less than ten seconds each and strung them together. I will probably save the rest of the editing for year end.

I started the 1SE but I found it to hard to limit myself to 1 second. I'm doing a picture a day with a video every now and then.
My dd is going to try her hand at the 1SE. She's my selfie queen so I'm not sure what sort of video's we'll get. Maybe 2 or 3 months of selfie video's.

I love this idea, is it too late to start in February? I am the Princess of Procrasti Nation, after all. Love your video and love that you are in it so much. Too often we take the vids and pics and don't end up in many.

I'm doing the picture a day and I've missed 3 days in January, so I'm considering that a success.

I haven't compiled mine yet. I did do one for every day but one day I did it with my camera and I can't transfer it into the app. I'm going to see this week if I can figure it out else I'll go without that day.

Too often we take the vids and pics and don't end up in many. You can start whenever you want. It's your video, afterall. I'm still at it. And still not in it. I'll try to figure out how to post a video tomorrow.

I love seeing little snippets of your lives. I actually think the 2 second views that AussieMeg shared are easier to watch. What is going on during the 54 second mark (something pink?). Thanks for sharing!

What are you using to do yours with? On the app you can only pick one video (as far as I know) and I would love to do 2 seconds, but that's not an option either.

I can't figure out how to share it online from my phone. Sharla - I think you need to host it somewhere first...FB, vimeo, youtube. At least that's what I did. And...here is my January: 1SE January

That's why I decided not to use the app, it wasn't flexible enough. I just did it in Windows Movie Maker. I had to convert it before uploading to You Tube, but my 10yo was able to help me do that (I had no idea)! underwatermama, I love yours. Love the from your husband at the dinner table haha! Is that your house at the end? Gorgeous!

I chose the app, because it was simple and I felt like I could stick with it, but it does bum me that I'm so limited! If it easy enough I might switch.

AussieMeg - Thanks! No, the blue house isn't mine. I'm standing on our driveway filming. Once we clean up our front yard from winter and the flowers bloom, I plan to video our house in some way too.

I've never heard of this idea, but it's pretty cool and I might have to try it (I prefer the 2 second one). Thanks for sharing everyone!

You just drop the videos in then cut them to 2 seconds. That's probably the hardest bit, scrolling through trying to work out what 2 seconds to keep. Well, it's not hard so much as a bit fiddly. But honestly, no harder than doing it in the app.
