Not living close to any family, I work to keep everyone connected by capturing my kids’ moments – big and small – as a video on my phone.
All of our big firsts: the first day of school, the first loose tooth, and the first pirouette are few and far between. But it’s the times in between, the regular Thursdays or Sunday afternoons that I struggle with something to share. I mean snack time at our house isn’t exactly movie premiere content, unless you count that one time with the dog and a really slippery mess and I wasn’t exactly in the mindset to record a video for that one. And I definitely don’t have the time or the SKILL to create a video worth sending, but that doesn’t mean my family wants to wait until I’m inspired either.
Not exactly a scene worth turning into a video with OneDay.
Thanks to a new easy video app, I have a beautiful way to package a sweet holiday message or even just a “Hi Grandma” surprise without any thinking or editing required. The OneDay app is an Instant Movie Maker that helps parents create videos of their children like a pro in seconds with fun, unique and holiday themes with curated, thought provoking, fun story sets.
In just a few simple steps, I had a beautiful Valentine’s Day video that not only did the kids and I enjoyed making together, but made Gigi (grandma) feel like she was with us, even though she was hundreds of miles away.
It only took three easy steps:
- You open the app and pick a question from a wide selection of fun story sets like Valentine’s Day, Merry Christmas and many more.
- Next you record your children’s answers with a tap of your record button (don’t worry, it’s created to start and stop with ease (and bathroom breaks.)
- Then the app automatically stitches the recorded videos together by adding music to make quality, priceless movies to share on Facebook, Twitter, texting and YouTube with family and friends.
Best of all, this app is FREE and available on Google Play and iTunes and totally worth some space on your smartphone or tablet.
Do you have just five minutes to create a beautiful video to capture a special moment for you or your loved ones?
Make their day with OneDay.
That sounds like a fun app! I am going to be checking it out myself over the weekend!
This looks like the coolest thing ever for people with kids. Kids always have the funniest answers to questions.
That is the most adorable idea I’ve ever seen. I wish something like this had been around when my son was little.
This sounds like a great app! Makes sharing videos with grandma that much more fun!
This is so cool! I need to try this with my son for Valentine’s Day.
I’ve been using this app for a few months now, I love it! Nice memories captured!
I love this concept! I definitely need a better option than instagram! 🙂
Wow, what a cool app! Great way to keep memories!
Wow, what an adorable app! This would be so much fun to share with grandparents (who live far away) on Valentine’s Day!
How cute. I love making videos with kids. You’ll always have it.
Aww, what a cute app. I will definitely need to download it later and try it out.
This looks so cute! I just downloaded it onto my android!
I’ll have to look into getting this app! I am always looking for new video apps!
I totally just downloaded it! What a great idea!
I hadn’t heard of this! It looks really neat! I’m going to check it out.
HaHa cute video. I will have to check out this app. Thanks for the introduction.
That is adorable. It might be just what I have been looking for.
With so many people moving so many places to find work, it’s great that things like this allow friends and family to stay connected. I was very grateful for MySpace (remember that?) and then Facebook while I was in the Army.
