Billy has a new video…

Billy loves cars and airplanes.  And cartoons.  And talking cartoon cars and airplanes.  He really loves the Cars and Planes movies, and he recently started singing “Still I Fly” (one of the songs from Planes:  Fire & Rescue) a lot.  He sings it while watching the movie, while walking around the house, while hugging our dog, Sophie, and while serenading us to sleep.

Tracy asked me to get a video of him singing it for her birthday.  He and I managed to complete the recording in time but not the editing.  I’m still learning all of that, but it’s great practice for doing videos about our work once we get to Cape Town.

I did finish the video after writing the “He who finds a wife” blog post, though, and thought some of you might like to see it.  In the spirit of learning as much as I can, I’d love to hear any feedback you have about it artistically or technically.

Billy’s singing debut can be found at our Videos page.
