This Afternoon's Project

Since we're cleaning out and selling the yellow house (cue lots of sobbing), my mom is throwing away all the VHS tapes (or, as my tech-savvy nephew calls them - "Brick DVDs").  I was grabbing a DVD of Charlie's Angels (sometimes I get really really weird movie cravings, deal with it) at the yellow house, and came across my childhood home video VHS.  Side-note - Stevie and Carli should remember which Angel they were, and maybe the nostalgia of those days is what made me crave it.  Stevie - do you have that photo of us still?  I need it, like, really a lot much super.

Thanks to my incredible filmmaker father, who got his new camera equipment right before I came into the world, I have lots of great footage dating back to literally the day I was born!  I cherish this video!  Thank you, dad!!

Anyway, after a little research - AKA google VHS to DVD transfer - I found out that the BYU Library (whatup, HBLL!) lets you convert your videos for free.  This is super great because I'm poor.


I started working on my little super-talented-graphic-artist-I-failed-Photoshop DVD case insert today.  I'm keepin' it!

In totally unrelated news, I'm looking for a free (see above for income specifications) DVD insert that someone else makes for me for a home video DVD I'm converting from a VHS.  This person should have graphic design proficiency and also really like to laugh.  Danke.
