my grandma, (:

Here's a little video I put together for my video class again. This time I had to do a personal expression video and I didn't really think I had anything to express so instead I wanted to tell my grandma's story since she's the best grandma in the world. 


Her story is one of hardships, love, and joy. I've admired my grandma since I heard her story as a little girl. I could never really understand how hard she had it growing up. I had everything so easy because she wanted a better life for her family. My grandpa also sacrificed a lot, coming to Hawaii for my grandma and then picking pineapples in the fields because it was the only job he could get when he first came. I'm so thankful for the sacrifices my grandparents made in order to give me and the rest of my family a comfortable life. For that and many other reasons, I admire them so much. 


This video was a great way to express a story that inspired me as a little girl. My grandma would always help me wash my hands and tell me about how she would have to go outside and pump her own water. If they wanted it warm, they would have to build a fire and warm it themselves. This along with other little anecdotes about her childhood helped me to remain grateful for the things we can easily take for granted. 


I'm VERY new to Final Cut Pro and video production in general. It's not the best it could be and I still have a lot to perfect with it, but it was due on Tuesday and I was extremely frustrated with Final Cut Pro so I decided this was good enough for now. I'll perfect it later, promise. But thanks for watching, I'm excited to hear your thoughts and if you'd also like to tell me: who is one person in your life who has taught you something you still hold dear?
