Do you have an actor, director or writer in your family? Has anyone in your family wanted to star in their own movie?

My family has (or thinks they have) actors, directors and writers and we love making our own movies.  Several years ago, we decided to make a movie after we set up our Halloween decorations outside. We thought we could make a fun “Halloween” movie and include some kids in the neighborhood.  Hubby began making a script and my daughter began recruiting other actors. The script was typed, the actors were gathered and the make up and costumes were finalized.  We set aside a day to practice and film and our moviemaking began!

We have also acted out one of our favorite picture books (Three Billy Goats Gruff).  We have read some of our favorite stories and sent them to friends (Duck! Rabbit!). We have also put together instructional and just plain silly and fun videos. Working together as a family to create a project has been so much fun! So we recommend you grab your camera or camcorder, think of a fun family project and bring it to life! If you have any fun family videos, add a link in the comments below.

Since it goes with the Halloween theme, we thought we would share it with you. Warning - it is a little over 5 minutes,  but worth every minute. Be sure and watch all of it so you don’t miss out on the “bloopers”.  Can you guess which blooper is my favorite (hint – I am not part of the clip and someone mentions they are nervous). Enjoy the movie!

Have a fun and safe Halloween!
