My “movie of the year”.
Made with 1 Second Everyday app (and daVinci Resolve for final edits).

Of course it is only for me and my family and I don’t expect strangers watching 12 minute compilation of snippets from my days in 2025. But here it is.

So many big moments are not filmed – mostly hard, heavy ones. Tears, hard or heated conversations, unpleasant appointments, stress.

But some things stayed:

• a lot of walking
• miles of driving
• few concerts (Sting, Stevie Nicks, Folsom Lake Symphony)
• book club gatherings
• sunsets and nature

What would I want to do differently?

• I want to film more raw emotional moments – both cheer and anxiety, highs and lows. But from my experience – when those come – I usually stay in the moment and live through them. Taking out my camera or phone to record is the last thing I remember to do.
  So this is the question – how do I do it and show it? How can I to translate it into film form?
• I also want to remember to film people. Family, friends, co-workers, people I meet on my walks, strangers. Our conversations, time spent together, interesting outfits or shoes.
• To avoid project becoming a heavy burden – I need to fill the grid of snippets from days at least once a week. That way I will not procrastinate, and compile monthly/yearly “movie” much faster.
  • and on the same note – I want to prepare monthly movies from these (and not wait till the end of the year)
  • a *wild thought – maybe at some point I will add recordings of myself talking to the camera – talking about thoughts, books I’ve read and my reflection on these events from different days.
