Anything For A Photo

Anything For A Photo Video By Jeanine Description By Ginny Mama’s Executive Canine Assistant Mama is a total fearless adventurer! She’ll do anything to get a great photo, be in a great photo, or make a video more fun. In her new video, you’ll see her playing on the sand with a shovel and a bucket. I asked her, ‘Mama, are you five years old?’ She told me she needed the bucket and shoveled to find the earbuds she lost in the sand. She absolutely loves the beach and if she’s not playing on the sand, she’s playing in the ocean. ‘Tennis anyone?’ she asked. And guess what? She shows you her forehand and backhand on the tennis court at the Kaanapali Alli. That’s where they usually stay when they go to Maui. I’ve never been invited on these vacations, so I haven’t seen it. She’s not afraid to look silly, and she says that the older you get, the less you care about what others think. And without revealing her age, she’s old enough not to care what others think. Shopping anyone? When she says she’s going shopping, our Pup Daddy seems to get a little nervous. Paw 🐾 Ha Ha 🤣 You’ll see her shopping in her favorite clothing store in Maui, ‘Blue Ginger.’ Oh no! Not Tool Girl! Mama has her own set of tools and is known to install and fix things. In this clip, she’s on the deck in Big Bear with her drill and a bottle of Gorilla Glue, trying to pronounce ‘gorilla glue’ without much success. Paw 🐾 Ha Ha 🤣 My favorite part is when she dances with me! She also dances with her father and dances with the young AJ at a formal dress birthday party. Since you need music to dance, she shows you how she finds new music for her videos. ‘If music be the food of love, play on,’ says William Shakespeare. Mama trained as an actor and played roles in five plays by Shakespeare. Cool, right? She says that as you get older, it gets harder to find parts to play, especially as a woman. We wish you a Happy New Year🎊 filled with laughter, light and 💖 love! Thank you to musician 🧑‍🎤 Aiyo For the cool song “On My Way “ Our company, Mother’s Heartlight Music, is thrilled to announce that we’re donating 100% of the profits from Mamas videos to three amazing organizations: the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, The Humane Society of the United States, and the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation.

Friends Become Our Chosen Family

Friends Become Our Chosen Family Video By Jeanine A Tribute To Friends + Family “Good 🤩 Friends Are Like ✨ Stars 🌟 You don't always see them, but you know they are there" "A Friend Loves At All Times" Pooh says to Piglet: “We will be friends forever won't we Piglet?" Piglet says: “Even longer!" My friends and family mean everything to me. They are a recurring theme in much of my videography work. They inspire me. They support me. They share time with me. They love me and I love them with all my heart. This video is a reminder of how important our friends and family are in our lives. All of my gratitude to my friends, family, and our rescue pups. Thank You to all of you who have so graciously shared this precious life with me. Thank you to musicians “Ooyy” for the uplifting music “Through Glass" And thank you to my little BFF Frank for ending this video with such inspiring words as he remembers times we have spent together.

Blessings On Your Way Home

Blessings On Your Way Home

Blessings On Your Way Home Available Only On My Website (And Possibly Facebook) Because Of Music Copyright Issues I created this video as an experiment and to practice editing to music. I chose a song I like, listened to and read the lyrics and then came up with the images that best tell a story. So first I must thank musicians “Young The Giant" for song “In My Home" I hope it is OK with them! I don't know whether it is part of being a musician and composer myself, but I tend to listen to a new favorite song over and over and over again until one day you never wanna hear it again. After editing this new video, this may be one of those songs! More Gratitude To: Marissa and the Team who rode their horses in the Rose Parade this year. To: iPhone app “Motivation” for the insightful and encouraging quotes and visuals. To: Musicians everywhere who bring light into our lives. To: Stephen Hawking and my interpretation of a glimpse inside his brilliant mind. To: Our neighborhood birds who are always willing to tolerate if not always cooperate with Mama and her iPhone camera. To: My Neighbor and new friend Feliks for sharing his video of our elusive neighborhood Crane. To: The Moon Some Song Lyrics: “I’ve been searching for this all of my life” “ I've been racing all my life and now I'm free" “We are not lost, we are just searching” “I know I was born for this. Every night I've dreamt of this." “This” probably means something different to each listener. This is what this meant to me. Some Inspiration: “Don't change yourself so that other people will like you, be yourself so that the right people will love you." "I accept who I am now, who I will be until I am willing to become." “The love in my heart expands and grows daily" Blessing to you on your way home. There’s no place like home!

What Does It Take To Make A Video?

What Does It Take To Make A Video?

What does it take to make a video? A little luck, a little magic and a lot of help! On Labor Day weekend, our niece, her husband and nephew and our brother and sister-in-law all came over to our cabin for a barbecue. Because both Blayre and her husband are familiar with iPhones and filming videos, I asked for some assistance on camera as I picked two of my ripe tomatoes from our plants on the deck. I ended up with a new video from a new concept. How many people does it take to create a video? And how do you do it? You can find out how I did it by watching this new video on making new video! Where’s Wardrobe? Where’s Hair and Make Up? Where Did the Camera Person Go? But I am not a Diva Ha Ha! Thank You’s To my directors: The Fleet Commander And the Recalcitrant Dorsal To my Neice for the Assistance and Laughs To Our 2 Mountain Tomatoes Inspiration From Years of Making Videos (Mostly as a One Woman Show) Music: “Lights Down Low” By Jerry McHoy “Behind These Eyes” By Trio Leo FYI Our company Mother’s Heartlight Music is donating 100% of any profits from all of Jeanine’s videos Seen On YouTube/Facebook/LinkedIn/Website/Social Media To Diabetes Research Institute Foundation  Please join our community by subscribing and following us on social media: LINKS YouTube https://lnkd.in/g-qAbyTA YOU TUBE KIDS CHANNEL https://lnkd.in/gbxnaWHD Twitter https://lnkd.in/gidvQMAP TikTok https://lnkd.in/gfiunPwc LINKEDIN https://lnkd.in/g4TTaDMk CONTACT Website: www.jeaninemichaels.com
In The Pocket

In The Pocket

In The Pocket This title brings me back to my pool playing days. You don’t want to be “Behind the eight ball” you want to be “In the pocket“ All the images in this new video are in the pocket in some way. We've got an anonymous wakeboarder in the sweet spot of the wake. I filmed this when we were out on the boat around sunset. On Big Bear Lake we are so fortunate to have some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. And I have seen many over the years in lots of beautiful places. You may have seen the sailboat in previous videos, but he is in the pocket and belongs in this one. Also returning is the pirate ship and some ducks. And surprises for you. And of course, yours truly at the pool table. Rack them up! I'm in the pocket. What's in your pocket? Thank you to musicians “Pulsed” for the in the pocket music “Living In A Fantasy" Thank you to you for watching and for your support. Please feel free to comment and leave us some feedback about what you like so I can continue to make videos you will enjoy. #YouTube #fun #entertainmentvideo #surprise #wakeboarder #billiards #sunset #BigBearLake #ducks #sailboat #pirateship FYI Our company Mother’s Heartlight Music is donating 100% of any profits from all of Jeanine’s videos Seen On YouTube/Facebook/LinkedIn/Website/Social Media To Diabetes Research Institute Foundation  Please join our community by subscribing and following us on social media: LINKS YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMvTKi7Bi0I8xoWpBMbCNBQ YOU TUBE KIDS CHANNEL https://youtube.com/@musicmamasmoviesforkids?feature=shared Twitter TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jeaninemarie53?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc LINKEDIN www.linkedin.com/in/jeanine-michaels-651aba236 CONTACT Website: www.jeaninemichaels.com
Prayers For Seven

Prayers For Seven

Prayers For Seven I pray three times a day. When I wake up I thank God and the Universe Divine for another day of life. I ask for guidance to help me best use my talents to serve others and create my best work. Then I usually try and find somewhere during the day to express gratitude and again at night when reflecting on the day. When there are particular people in my life who need prayer support, I am happy to provide it. In this video, “Prayers for Seven” there are 7 people I love for whom I have created specific prayers set to music. Thank you to musician “Chaxl” for the song “Strange Fantasy”. Often I will start with the music for inspiration. And this song just seems to fit this video. The seven beautiful people included in this prayer tribute are my husband Curt, my son Brendan, my cousin Denise, my dear friends Vicky, Frank and Jim and our friend Larry. Each one of them has played a special part in my life. Thank you for your love and the joy you bring to life. (I will ask permission from you to share this) I I am blessed to have many people in my life who love and support me whom I love and hopefully support as well. Thank you to all the friends and family who make life so amazing, surprising and fun! I chose these seven as a beginning to express my deepest gratitude for their presence in my life. But the rest of you guys may be in the next one so keep watching!

Elusive 🦋🦋 Butterflies

Elusive 🦋🦋 Butterflies

Elusive 🦋🦋 Butterflies This is a very gentle sweet video. Much like a butterflies delicate touch. I must first thank musician Kikoru for the beautiful atmospheric song “Secrets Of The Mind” My butterflies were gliding and floating and dancing all over the screen as I edited this new video to the music. We begin with a rather demented butterfly who shall remain anonymous until you see the video and continue with an elusive monarch butterfly who came to visit my orange tree as I was working outside. As I say in my recent video (A Gift For My Fellow Photographers) as advice to other photographers, try and have your camera nearby to capture these fleeting moments with potentially shy subjects such as a butterfly. “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly" Chuang Tzu We humans are ever changing and don’t always know what’s coming outside our cocoon. “You were born with wings why prefer to crawl through life?“ Rumi Fly butterfly, Fly! I will become a butterfly over and over in this life, transitioning from the narrow view of the caterpillar to the uncomfortable phase of the chrysalis, finally to a butterfly’s eye view. Thank you to our friend, the late artist Jack Leo, for some beautiful butterfly artwork. And thank you to InShot for the cool effects available. This video is quite soothing and hopefully will bring you two minutes and 51 seconds of peace, tranquility and beauty. Perhaps it might even put your restless young ones to sleep.
