Dad Video
Hi!
My dad's turning fifty and my brother and sister and I are trying to create a video for his birthday that covers his life, ups and downs, and has some bits and pieces of people talking about him. sort of like the documentaries you see online... I am not too sure how to go about this and was wondering if anyone had any ideas!
Thanks :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
you could try using photos of him on windows movie maker, but you could also try filming yourself and ur bro +sis in one of his favorite locations/places, just having fun yrselves. From my experience, parents love to see their children having fun, so if you can incorporate you and your siblings having fun in the same movie that involes him then im sure it would make him happy. XD

Well you can make a video from Windows Movie maker with his favorite song with pictures of you guys and him or maybe pictures of him from when he was a baby to now. If you have a camera maybe do some interviews with your family...like "E True Hollywood Story" documentary. Sounds like fun! Good luck! :)

I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.
If you are looking more for how to format the video I would suggest you try following the format of a television program that was popular when your father was your age. The program was called: This Is Your Life.
I don’t think you can go to the expense of bringing dads childhood friends and teachers from wherever they may live to wherever you live. What you can do is using webcams, photo montages and other videos you have interview them via webcam or phone and record the interview.
Try and find as many of his childhood friends as you can. If they have a webcam ask them to relate as many interesting and embarrassing stories as they can. For those friends that don’t have webcams ask them to send some old photos’s and record your interview with them that you can overdub with the pictures. Here again you want the same information. Makes sure to interview your mom about how she met your dad and some of her first impressions she had. What convinced her to marry him? Include wedding photos. If dad’s parents are still alive interview them about what kind of child he was. Make sure to find out if he was the perfect child he keeps telling you he was. If you do not have a video camera, rent one or borrow a friends
.
Once you have it all together put it together using a program like media maker then edit for time. It should be lots of fun for the whole family. For dad it should be just slightly embarrassing but mostly a trip down memory lane. Make sure to include yourselves and to thank him for being your dad.
