rach 1 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I keep on using the vid and putting clips together on tapes to send back home for the family to see. I usually get between 30-60 minutes every year thats of interest and they really like that. Finding the longer I'm here though makes it more difficult to find interesting stuff. Or maybe its just me not being as interested! Does anyone else doing this? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Ive thought about it for 6 years here - but thats as far as Ive gotten. Maybe my next big purchase will be a video camera. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I make a video every couple of months to send home. Sometimes I have the same problem, I think I am used to seeing most things so they loose a certain interest factor. Like being back home. I usually try to catch things that you wouldn't see back home whether I find it interesting or not. Plus I have a 18 month old daughter so there is plenty of action to film there.

sunrise 0 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 That's a great idea. I really should be doing that. Especially since my nieces are very interested. Link to post Share on other sites
AET 0 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yeah I do that. Same problem, at first there was tons of video. Now I only rarely take it out, things are drying up! Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Like SB said, having kids makes up for finding interesting stuff! All I ever send is pics & vid of my little one home. (if i don't I get hassled from the other end.) Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I usually make one up a couple of times a year even if it's just 20 minutes - great way to keep in touch. Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Great idea, I might start doing that. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I usually do every 6 months or so, but haven't taken much since the earthquake and not sure if I want to frighten the family too much without me there to explain it all! Great idea to do one though. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Did you get the photo-book of the jishin, sanjo? I think the Niigata Nippo newspaper company published it. That made a good thing to show people back home. Some pretty amazing pictures in that. Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I've been doing that since I came here. Some mad vids from when I first arrived - and hours and hours of it too. I actually watched them with the family when I was last back and had a good laugh. It's definitely worth having things on tape to look back at, even though it might be hassle to make them in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites
