Gender Reveal Party

Mrs. Mewie and I experienced perhaps the happiest moment of our lives yet.

This video required the shortest and longest time to make.

Shortest in the sense that once I captured the footage and started the necessary edits, I was done in merely a few hours.  That’s a miracle and a sign that I’m finally understanding Final Cut Pro X.

Longest in the sense that this video required several hours of finding the two perfect songs.  I searched for the past few months for music that would evoke these specific emotions: hope, suspense, joy and love.  Not only did I need these essential elements, I needed songs that didn’t run for too long or for too short – I didn’t want a teaser video or an extended documentary video.  The dozens of family members and friends IMing me that they’re crying at this very moment gives me a hint that I accomplished my mission.

The bible verse at the end is our primary inspiration for this journey. We are so excited to share life with our twins in March 2012!
