Creative Assistance With J9

“Creative Assistance” A Promo Video For J9 MusicMama LinkedIn (and others) suggested I create a short video with samples of my work in photography and videography to show potential clients what I do. Content: Moments with my photos and videos People And Places Availability: Anywhere, Anytime Who: Anyone What: Whatever you want to create Cool Music: Thank You to the Musician Duke Harrington for the song I chose, “Funky Drama” C'est La Vie After 3 years of 24 hours a day working with InShot, independent study of the art of videography and a lot of trial and error, I am ready for the next level professionally and be paid for what I do. This will make our charities very happy. It will make Amazon Smile. But you know I would still do it for free. Because this is my new passion and love. It is my calling. It is my magnificent obsession. It is my destiny. It will honor my daughters life and memory. It is my fourth career in this life. I will continue to create with gratitude to The Creator my collaborator and you who share with me.

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.

I Need A Break From Social Media!

I Need A Break From Social Media!

I Need A Break From Social Media! I have had a basic simple YouTube channel since 2018. But it has only been the last year that I have looked at my channel as a source of income. I reached the criteria to become monetized but apparently my earnings are ridiculously small. The conundrum is to create content authentically and still reach a large audience. And collect that income, which so far has been unavailable for me to access. Yes, I filled out the tax forms and verified my identity and took all of the other steps required. There is so much to know about YouTube and for a creator if you don’t know what you’re doing it can be a confusing journey. Learning about hashtags, descriptions, algorithms, thumbnails, analytics, protocol, and all of the elements that go into a successful channel is time consuming and challenging. That is why we have experts in YouTube channel SEO. I would rather spend my time making videos, but this is a part of the process of the business end of the process. I have been on Facebook for a long time and initially was primarily active socially which accounts for the amount of friends. Corresponding with the YouTube channel shift, I have been adding videos now and haven’t had the time for communications with those aforementioned friends. Apologies to my Facebook friends, but I hope you enjoy my videos. And then according to the grand plan most suggested by experts, you need to have a presence on as many social media platforms as possible. Of the available options I chose: TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and of course my own website. Each one requires time and attention to maintain and keep healthy. And each new video I make will be posted to each platform. Each platform requires filling in different informational fields. Again this is really time consuming work. Work hard, play hard. My work is the business. My play is the creation. I would rather be creating. I then became a member of LinkedIn and Instagram and X. “They“ (experts again) say we all have a breaking point where we need to stop and take a break. It is now time for me to take a break from social media not just as a subscriber or member but as a creator. Overwhelmed and stressed between filming, editing, uploading, posting, writing descriptions, the actual filming and making of videos and dealing with each social platform I need to stop temporarily. But not apparantly not before having made and now sharing this new video with you about why I need to take a break. Does anyone have a beach house they are willing to share? Any extra first class plane tickets to Europe? Private island somewhere in the Caribbean? My gratitude to musician LU-NI for the perfect song for this video “Que“ I think it captures the fast paced often frenetic visuals with a cool Latin vibe. Gracias. See you on social media!

Homoeostasis

Homoeostasis

Homoeostasis A Personal Video By Jeanine Homoeostasis: “The tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependant elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.” Now try to spell it! This video is about balance. Often it seems as if we must become professional jugglers to handle all of the aspects of our lives. We have work and family. We have obligations and commitments and most of us have to make a living. how do you make time for it all? And how do you ensure that you are spending enough time with everyone and everything? And don’t forget you need exercise and proper nutrition to take care of your body, the vessel for your spirit to do its work. whether it’s building a house or chasing after a recalcitrant two year-old. This life is a journey of self discovery and self expression. Who are you? What do you love? Who do you love? What brings you joy? How can you be of service? Is there a God? Existential questions we spend a lifetime seeking answers. This video represents my journey finding homeostasis. I had a career as an actor and as a professional singer/musician. I was a songwriter and have a small music company: Mothers Heartlight Music Then I became a videographer and photographer. I am honored to share with you moments from my experiences in life and perhaps inspire you with my story. For a balanced life, you have to have the agility of a high wire artist, the skills of a professional juggler, a sharp mind and a quick wit just to manage it. I hope you watch until the end because the last part “Behind The Scenes“ is really cool and the music is awesome. Thank you musicians: Christopher Moe Diffensen for “Into The Beyond” Baegel for “Seoul Light“ Edan Avery for “Starry Eyed“ Ranar Sillard for “Seascapes“ Bastier Slice for “Deep Into London“ 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 https://www.tiktok.com/@j9musicmom?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc 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
