DigiDad Project

I am looking forward to seeing my parents for Thanksgiving. It is unclear who is cooking the turkey or who might be over for dinner (in our house that's part of the adventure). But I am sure of one thing: I am taking my Cyber-shot camera and Handycam camcorder with me to capture our gathering, the confusion over who is cooking, the feast when it is finally done, even my nephew playing the piano… I want to capture and have all these memories for myself and to share with everyone I love.

There wasn’t much more direction than that and the Dads were given a week to do their thing. You’d think they’d give us some simple home videos, right? Well, what we got were five amazing and unique glimpses i ...

Our first official assignment for our DigiDads is called The Connected Living Room. And while not all of the dads actually set up the home theater products in their living room (Michael Sheehan, due to space limitations, used his daughter's bedroom, Max Kalehoff held movie night in his "man cave" and CC used his office), they all seemed to have fun with this.
