This is my first year doing it and I'm already a failure, I've missed 11 days. Oh well, I guess 20 days is better than nothing.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try & retrieve mine from my photos. The videos saved to that just not this app.

I'm afraid I already abandoned this project. I am not an "xxx everyday" type of person. I've tried journaling daily and photo a day. I just don't have the will to keep that kind of consistency.

For uploading your video, which one is better... Youtube or Vimeo?

I'm afraid I already abandoned this project. I am not an "xxx everyday" type of person. I've tried journaling daily and photo a day. I just don't have the will to keep that kind of consistency. That's exactly why I DON'T force myself to stick to one video or one photo EVERY day. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, sometimes I go several days - sometimes even 5 days - without getting a single video, then I make up for it on the weekend. When I was putting my January video together I ended up using 4 videos from one day! Who cares? Just decide what you want to get out of it and make up your own rules. For me it's not about sticking to someone else's definition of what the project should be. I want it to be a video diary of my life, so if that means I miss 5 days then use 4 videos from the same day, again who cares??? If I tried to stick to the "every day" rule, I wouldn't have completed one whole year of 1SE and 7 (SEVEN!) whole years of P365. I urge people who are put off by the thought of *having* to do this every day to reconsider and make up your own rules. It's such an awesome project.

I got my videos retrieved along with some pictures but my google account has been shut down for suspicious activity so I can't sign in to you-tube.

I urge people who are put off by the thought of *having* to do this every day to reconsider and make up your own rules. Good advice. That's the important thing it is about "you". For me, I do better when I get into a routine, Last year I didn't start until about the 6th of Jan and I missed several days, this year I haven't missed a single day because I'm in the routine now of thinking about it. That's what works for me...that may not be what works for other people. And the reason we post them here (or my reason at least and I suspect it's the same for others) is just for motivation and to get encouragement and ideas from others. It's not a 'look at my exciting life' competition.

Too true. But I win the "most exciting life competition" last month with the skydiving!! LOL, actually, yes you do! Ha, but I'm going to be in the running for February with my 'freakshake' video.
And I want to know more about the skydiving, what made you decide to do it? Were you scared? It you like it? Would you do it again?

I told you to make a date & time and you didn't - so I moved on without you... Anyway, I thought I'd better do a trial run first, you know, in case it's disappointing, wouldn't want you to come all this way for nothing.

I'm almost embarrassed to say that I only lasted 3 days. The app lets you set reminders.

OK then, maybe the Vietnamese restaurant with the funny name...... At least that's tried and tested by you.

Technically not late - you have all year! Great video. I'm intrigued where you live now...such interesting scenery and I love the cacti.

Great job, TFS! Are you renovating or painting your bathroom too? There will be a few videos in my February 1SE of our bathroom reno, I'm sure!

Still going at it here. I seem to be capturing several videos per day, as well as photos. Also have the 'Collect' app which wants photos every day. Most of the videos are pretty boring, and others lately are on the odd side, things one doesn't see in the states on a regular basis (at least not where I'm from), such as the house with a non-working water closet and several video dishes on the roof.

I missed this thread for some reason when it came out. But I loved catching up on everyone's videos. Great to see so many more people joining us. I'll just hold off and do a Jan./Feb. in a couple more weeks. I like the 1 Second Everyday page on Facebook and will occasionally watch some of the videos they feature. They've posted some very unique ones and I love getting a glimpse at the way others live their lives. This one really spoke to me-probably because it's kid oriented- as my video clips tend to be. Also, she's a photographer so I think she has gotten some unique shots. Also, I think one thing I like about this video is how repetitive some of the activities are. And that is one thing I feel like I'm critical about my own clips. But her video shows that a repetition of events can not only be interesting, but tends to support the "theme" of your video. www.facebook.com/imagesbycareypace/videos/916944651693012/

Thank you pjaye. As a procrastinator those are words that I like to hear. :-) As for me and the cacti, we live in Arizona.

But her video shows that a repetition of events can not only be interesting, but tends to support the "theme" of your video. Yes that's a good point. There were tons of videos of her son playing basketball, and then in one clip he picks up a lettuce in the supermarket and pretends to slam dunk it! It reminds me of my son (and I have heaps of clips of him playing basketball too) and how he is forever slam dunking a bloody ball through his indoor basketball ring. He can't walk past without doing it. The noise drives me nuts! One morning I'd had enough so I took the ball off him to stop him doing it. So.... he picks up a pair of socks and starts slam dunking them! I'll have to get a video of him playing with the indoor basketball, I can't believe I haven't got that one yet seeing that it is a daily - no, hourly - occurrence. Some day that bathroom will be painted. Rumor has it, maybe today. The bathroom renovation started 19 months ago..... 19 months ago?? I did one coat of primer and one coat of paint last weekend, then I ran out of puff. I have to do another 2 coats - ceiling, cornice and walls. Painting sounds like fun, then 5 minutes in the laughter turns to tears haha!

I am so glad Peas starting posting about this. I started on Jan 1st to much eye rolling from my husband, but I have not missed a single day. I loved watching each month's video and even DH has come aroun and commented on how cool it is that I am recording our family's memories one second at a time.
So Thank You for sharing! Michelle
