These two are regular kids. They are not any different from the kids that go to the school with your kids and yes – they get in trouble for not cleaning their rooms. However, our weekends usually start with, “Mom, do we get to shoot a video today?

Want to take a pick behind the camera? Here is the untold story of the little video channel ad

It is a hard to be a small channel in the huge digital ocean of mega channels. It is tough to get noticed, and it is next to impossible to make it big (but that is the goal). Sure, you know a hand full of Kids Channels with millions of subscribers, but next to them, there are thousands of channels just like ours swimming up to the surface.

Four truths about our channel:

  1. Yes, I am a full-time working outside of home mom
  2. No, we don’t keep all the toys we review
  3. If we did this for a fame or money, we would of quit our show a long time ago
  4. No, kids don’t get to skip school to do these videos

Serious Work Behind a Fun Channel

Just like in any real production, we have the staff that makes everything happen a serious business – from brainstorming to snacks.

ON THE SET

We have a set – the space where we shoot our videos. Well, we have two video arrangements – we are fancy like that!

We have our little studio in the basement with the lights and a brick wall that

We also have a great porch right outside of our house with a great natural lighting.

FILM AND EDITING CREW

img_5433
Just like any serious production our company has some great professional help. Usually, it is mom and dad to the rescue kind of scenarios, but the kids are starting to learn the tricks of the trade as well. However, for now, mom is the one staying late going through the gigabytes of footage.

WE BRAINSTORM

We might not have a room full of screenwriters working on our episodes, but that doesn’t stop us from having arguments over the scripts and lines

WE HAVE FUN

What keeps this little channel going? We have the fire to fuel our ideas and we love to play! It might not mean much to you, but it is a recipe for a great day in the studio for us!

WE TAKE CREATIVE BREAKS

Filming four episodes back-to-back is not always easy, even if you love doing it and having a blast.kids-tired

Maybe one day we will have a table in the back of our studio with shrimps and cheeses, but these days we have CLIF Kid Zbar® that recharge us quick and get us back in the working mood in now time!clif-kid-snack-bar

CLIF Kid Zbars made with organic ingredients that active kids need in flavors they crave. These bars are Non-GMO and have essential nutrients for active kids – portioned for kids in flavors they love.clif-kid-bar-eating

PLAYTIME ANYTIME

And now we are back to work – Camera! Lights!

clif-kid-show-much-go-on

My kids love setting up the cameras and lights, sound testing, and coming up with catchy phrases. It is an awesome big play for them where they could be anyone they want. It’s difficult sometimes to fit playtime in around all the other activities back-to-school brings, but by getting creative and establishing a routine, you’ll be sure your kids are healthy and thriving all year long.

DEAR PARENTS

Just because school is back in session, doesn’t mean kids should lose out on creative playtime. Take time out of each busy school week to get creative with your kids, allow them the time to have free-play, and watch their healthy habits grow.

Want to start your family channel? Turn your smartphone camera one and let kids be kids! To get your imagination going, check out the CLIF Kid COME OUT TO PLAY video. clif-kid-half-bar-z-bar

    I love this!!!

    My boys help with video on my channel and times, but do not always act ‘professional’ about it. I’m thinking we might weave more technology classes into our homeschool and include video making as part of it. (I even have access to a Christian based filmmaking class that they can shadow me on.)

    CLIF Kid Zbars are a great snack. My kids love them in their school lunches. It looks like your kids have fun making these videos.

    My kids love CLIF Z Bars and I love the ingredients. They are healthier options yet taste good and they actually ask for them at the store.

    Kudos to your kids and family for making many successful videos. It certainly is not easy getting kids to cooperate at all times.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all
    is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
    a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions
    or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

    It’s great that the kids are learning the tools of the trade. It looks like they enjoy what they do. Thanks for a peek behind the scenes.

    The henchman hiring was probably the most fun aspect
    of the overall game as you got to pick from top trump style cards depicting various
    thugs with different skills for violence and crime.
    Also keep planned that with many custom gaming laptop manufacturers,
    you have the capability to upgrade or add another harddrive at a later date.

    Ibuypower financing The specific parts of an barebone pc kit can fluctuate, but
    the most important parts normally continue being exactly the same.

    Before the utilization of internet connectivity with gaming consoles you merely had
    to deal using the bugs and glitches. Do your best to discover a balance between current and future
    technology and what your pc habits are beyond gaming.
