Water Slides 2012 – Charlie Bit Me – Longleat Center Parcs

We all went to a park in the woods with a great swimming pool and slides. I few months before I bought a GoProHD so the boys could make videos themselves and thought this was a fantastic place to try it out. It was great to see Charlie’s attitude and enjoyment of the slides change over the days. We had loads of rides on all the slides and rapids and only recorded a few (due to needing to hold hands as much as anything). That they wanted to and tried to make some video themselves was superb. Harry definitely did a great job.

Yes it is Center Parcs Longleat

Charlie Bit Me – Knight Day – I don’t want to die – our real life Skyrim

We loved filming this. This is something we do pretty regularly in the garden or in the house. On this occasion we planned out a few ideas as scenes and got out all the bits and pieces lying around the house we have associated with Knights. The scenes themselves were not rehearsed or planned in advanced. Dressing the boys up as Knights putting helmets on and placing foam swords and shields in their hands is a great way to relieve tensions

Long Grass Lions

We waited and waited for the grass to grow on this common and the day after we were there, it was cut down to cm’s 🙂 We had a great time and the boys slept very well that night. As always simple but fun

Charlie Bit Legoland 100

We normally treat the boys to a day at Legoland once a year. This year the boys wanted to get as much done as possible during the day and to have a video of it. So with my trusty Olympus Tough 8010 we tried. Not all the rides we went on are in the clip but we did have lots of fun. We were there about 10 hours.

The 8010 is really small, shock proof and waterproof and was got to let the boys use it as well as survive everything they could throw at it. We use it everyday.

Charlie Bit Me – Autotuned

We really should have put this up ages ago. For those of you who have not seen it before – enjoy

I also thought it would be fun to have a video in the music category

Thanks to the Gregory Brothers for making the boys sound so good 🙂

I’m Not Frightened Of That One

The boys love this place and we try and go about twice a year. It is simply a big hole in a wood with two steep banks to climb up but they talk about it all the time. You can’t appreciate how steep the banks are from the film.

The clip is longer than normal but we were there ages and it seemed unfair to not get all of Jaspers first climb.

We always go with Joshua and Adam. They are children of Jacky and Dave. We used to work with Jacky.

Joshua has a genetic condition called VeloCardiFacial Syndrome or 22q11.2 deletion, find out more at

I have watched the Lord of the Rings with Harry. Gandalf and the Balrog left a huge impression. Charlie has seen some of it, has drawn the battle at hems deep at school although he has moved onto Pirates of the Caribbean and Captain Jack Sparrow now.

Elevator Etiquette Harry Style

We should point out that we only did this in the early hours of the morning. We were up because of the whole jet-lag thing and there is only so much jumping on the bed you can do before needing to get out.

Yes we did visit Alcatraz, Pier 39, Union Square, Sausalito, The Golden Gate Bridge etc. However Harry liked going up and down in lifts the most so we went from Hotel to Hotel trying to find the best ones 🙂

To those people Harry met in the pool at the top of the hotel – “you see it was me”.

Music Fun LaDiDa

We have been playing with sounds and instruments over the last few months. Charlie’s coordination has improved greatly and Harry loves to sing. They both enjoy dancing but that is best left or another day

LaDiDa made it more fun by allowing us to play around with the different vocal effects and styles that matched their singing. I think our favourite style was Acoustic Rock! It was also great for helping the kids learn to sing with a beat. It gave us a chance to set the tempo to something they’re comfortable with and test their rhythm. They really enjoyed singing into the app and hearing what was created. Highly recommended http://bit.ly/get_ladida

Smile for Charlie

Charlie wanted to take a photo of everyone who watches his clips 🙂

We didn’t know we would have quite so many requests for their photo 🙂 Send us the picture you think Charlie took and we will find a way of displaying them

Climbing and Building In the Woods

Celebrating the coming on British Summer Time along with a sunny day. No where better than to go to the woods for a play in the park, a climb of some trees and building a house 🙂

Scoot By

This is one of two videos I shall be making from a trip out early on a Sunday morning. I take them to this car park so everyone can scoot around as fast as possible. Yes we have had a few injuries over the years but we still go back. The next clip will be mostly of Jasper as he was getting to grips with his new scooter. I think Harry and Charlie were a little upset I was spending my time with Jasper so they ganged up on me. It would have been fun to have had this video is 3D.
31 sec.

Charlie Bit Star Wars

I have never caught one of the boys Star Wars fights on video before as they tend to be quite short and I am looking after Jasper. This time the boys grandparents were visiting so I had my hands free and the video camera to hand. The ‘fight’ seemed to last for ages and visit so many rooms. I decided not to cut the clip as it was so full of energy. I am sure no one would believe that things like this go on every day in our house but they do!

The Lightsabres; We actually got them from LegoLand last year but I have seen them on ebay. Do a search for ‘laser swords’.? I have not bought from ebay but they look similar from the description and picture. They are not retractable. However the way they light up is great and the sounds effects really work well.
223 sec.

Roller Coaster Charlie

This is the first day Charlie rode a ‘big’ roller coaster as well as a few little ones. In the scheme of things the roller coaster was not big and scary but Charlie was very brave to give it ago. The reward was a ride on the Fairytale ride 🙂

Yes this was at LegoLand UK

A Conversation with Harry and Charlie ‘Born HIV Free’ – Charlie Bit My Finger – Again!

This is the second and last video in Harry and Charlie’s Born HIV Free series. Most of our videos are simply moments from out life In this video the boys actively contributed to the video and message. We had discussions about the charity and the difference it makes. I am very proud of Harry and Charlie for wanting to help make a difference.

Check out the link at the end of the video for more information and a chance for you to also make a difference along with Harry and Charlie

http://www.bornhivfree.org

This is perhaps my favourite video. To have watched and helped the boys grow up and now see them deliver something so worthwhile is fantastic.

Yes the video is scripted, I think that is obvious. However the script is based on many discussions we had with the boys before hand. Scripting the video was the only way we could get the message across correctly with decorum. Most of our time is normally spent running around with our hair on fire (a well used phrase in our house) and I don’t think our regular formats that would have shown respect for the subject matter.?

I think it should be obvious but Harry and Charlie were not paid to make this video and we covered all costs associated with making it. Any advertising revenues generated from this video will be donated to The Global Fund.

Typically the wind picked up as we started filming and aeroplanes flew overhead so apologies for background noises. At least the dog nearby didn’t bark while we were recording 🙂

A Quiet Couple of Months – Harry, Charlie and Jasper

This collection was made from the pocket sized Olympus Mju Tough camera I use most of the time for photos. The last couple of months we always seem to be going out and doing something. I tried to capture more video on it as we never seem to have space for the dedicated video camera.

Charlie Bit Me – German TV Interview aka ‘Jasper Bit Me’

Thanks to RTL for doing such a great interview. There have been a lot of comments from German speaking people over the last few days so I decided to put this clip up for a while. While watching it again I also noticed we have a Jasper Bit Me moment which I missed the first time.

Thanks to rewboss for the translation and closed caption

Harry and Charlie – Mummy is not always right – Sledding

Crazy weather, schools closed, roads dangerous so the only thing to do is find a slope and go sledding. While it should be pointed out, yes Harry did hurt himself but not badly and it seemed worse because of the cold. Luckily I have a big wide angle lens on my video camera so the impact was spread around a lot. There were no marks 🙂 The whole day took a huge toll on my camera 🙁
85 sec.

Working with Harry and Charlie

Quite often we get asked to do a little bit of filming for various shows and people. I try and keep it to about 20 minutes as the boys get bored quickly. Here are a few of the recordings that did not make it passed the editing phase.

Charlie Bit Me – Driving Jasper

Just an ordinary day in the garden 🙂

Charlie Bit Me – Waves

Here is a shortish clip from our holiday in France a couple of months ago. It is funny to see the boys change every year. Jaspers reaction is the same as Harry’s at the same age, which was also the same as Charlie’s. Jasper is being held by Nana.
