Welcome & Introduction to Family Filmmaking
00:00:07
Speaker
Hey everyone, welcome back to the Filming Life podcast. I'm Courtney Holmes, and I'm here with my co-host, the amazing Kylie Porto. It's been a while since our last episode, but we are so excited to be back, diving right into the world of family filmmaking again. and Whether you've been with us from the start, or you're just discovering the podcast now, we're thrilled to have you here. Family filmmaking has continued to grow in such a meaningful way, and we're here to celebrate the art of storytelling, capturing real moments, and turning everyday life into something unforgettable.
00:00:37
Speaker
Today, we're kicking things off with a fresh perspective, sharing what we've learned over the years, and giving you the inspiration you need to get started or keep going. So grab a coffee, settle in, and let's jump back into it together. Hello, Kylie.
00:00:50
Speaker
Hi, Courtney. How are you? It's been a while. It's been a while, hasn't it? It has been a while, but it's been a very productive while. I know for both of us, we've been pretty busy with shooting and filming and editing. and Totally. yeah i'm like It's been a lot, but so exciting because I'm getting to do what I love.
00:01:12
Speaker
I know exactly. Yes. It has been such a busy year and we definitely fell by the wayside when it came to recording the podcast, but I'm so excited that we're doing this episode because I think it'll be a really good refresher and reminder for people and a really good way for us, you and I to get started again doing this. Yeah, definitely. I think we've both been so concentrated on like being within the community this year, like at Filming Life that it's been easy to just not worry about everything else, but it is always fun to get back into the podcast and hear what like the wider community thinks about what we talk about in family filmmaking. Cause I know there's a lot of people who are probably film curious. Yes. Yes. But haven't jumped in. So yeah, it's always good to share. Definitely. All right. So we have a few different things to talk about today. So we'll start off. I've got, we've came up with a list of questions that we want to just
00:02:12
Speaker
have a chat about.
Storytelling in Video vs. Photography
00:02:13
Speaker
And the first one is what do you think makes storytelling through video different from photography? What do you think? That's such a good question. Yes. Um, I think for me, it really comes down to like audio and sound. Like it's that combination of adding music. Anyone that's watched a slideshow of their photos to music knows how powerful the right song paired with vision can be. yeah But I think taking it that next level with what we do, it would have to be that audio and the voices and the sounds of your life. For me, that's what kind of gives it that that next level thing and gives it that something that you just can't quite get in a photograph.
00:03:03
Speaker
yes yeah definitely and i think as well for me along the same lines because i completely agree it's like pairing the music with the visuals and like interlacing that audio throughout as well but it's like being able to create many stories within an overarching story. And it just feels like a different level of storytelling for me when it comes to video as opposed to photos. And I love photographs so much. And i I definitely don't think that one is better than the other. I just think that they are
00:03:41
Speaker
so different because in video you are capturing someone's attention and you are really leading them through a story and with a photo it's a similar thing but just maybe not as immersive and I find that for me I can just unleash so much more creativity when I am shooting an editing specifically video. Just I feel like there's just so much so many more layers to it. And it's yeah, I don't know. It's just so fun to be able to put together. Yeah. I think it really does encompass the senses just that little bit more. If I had to compare it to say like a beautiful image of a mum and a daughter together on the beach and you can see the hair blowing in the wind and they have a beautiful connection and the way they're touching. And that can be such a powerful photograph. yeah Then when you add in that extra movement of being able to actually see the hair moving, see the dress moving, see our mum's
00:04:50
Speaker
not just got her hand in one place but she's actually stroking the child's hair and then you can hear the sound of the wind and you can hear the water and you get all these extra little additions to the senses which really like you said like it immerses you in that story it's yeah it just takes it to that next level really makes you feel like you're there and I think it It adds that extra layer of for the the person who's watching it to really identify with that moment.
00:05:24
Speaker
Yeah. And I would never want just one or the other. Like you, I would want that beautiful photograph just as much as I would want the video as well. You know what I mean? Like it's, and I think that's why as photographers, we're getting asked more and more to do video for clients. People are wanting that because They do want both, and these days we can provide both, but it's just managing how you do that. and Yeah. And let's say we're shooting in 4K, it's getting even easier. You can pull a still from a video. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Exactly.
Emotional Connections in Family Films
00:06:03
Speaker
Okay, so let's talk about creating emotional connections.
00:06:07
Speaker
through video. Why do you think films create such a strong emotional connection for families? I think once again it's like that that audio element of it. There's something so unique about a toddler's voice and the way that they say things, but not even that, like even for babies, like in newborns, there's, there's ways that newborns make sounds. And my husband used to call them dinosaur noises. And even now, cause my sisters are having babies and things and Dave and I'll be there. We'll be, we'll have the baby.
00:06:40
Speaker
and I'll make that noise and we just look at each other and we're both taken back to that moment in time. I know what he's thinking when he looks at me and it's the same way and so when you can capture that kind of thing in a video it makes such a difference and I particularly love that with when I capture families and and a toddler or a child will say something really funny and you can capture that glance between the parents where they look at each other and then they're having this moment of connection and it's something that like they could be across the room from each other who you know what they're thinking and I think that being able to capture those things and then for the parents to be able to see that back yeah is such a huge
00:07:23
Speaker
thing It's not even just hearing their toddler's voice or seeing what they're doing and the crazy outfits that toddlers love to put together and wear. It's seeing those little glances where when they say something and you look at you, you look at your partner yeah and you have that moment of understanding, capturing that in video is so powerful.
00:07:41
Speaker
It really is because that's the I think that's so hard to capture in a still photograph. It's those glances and the like the funny stuff as well. like the really i I think it's like the subtle nuances that sometimes is what makes the films so emotional for families. It's like a little things. It really is. It's the little things that their kids do. I had a client call me the other day after I sent her her film and she was like, the thing that stood out to me the most Courtney was when you got footage of him and he was riding his bike and he was riding his bike away from you, but he turned and he looked
00:08:27
Speaker
And she said, and that moment is something that I will remember forever because that's the way that he looks at me. Like he does that all of the time. He turns and he checks in. And she was like, that's something I could have never thought to ask you to get that before we did our session. But you did because that's what I am always looking for, those little nuances, those little moments, those little everyday things.
00:08:55
Speaker
And she was just like, I'm so grateful for that. That was so special. And then another thing they do is her and her oldest hold hands and they squeeze hands three times to say, I love you. And if they're silent, I love you. yeah And I captured that in video. And that's how do you capture that in a photograph? You can capture that by them holding hands, but you can't, it's, that's hard. You don't get that same kind of movement.
00:09:21
Speaker
No, yeah. And even just I think like every day, and like thinking about it from a kid's perspective too, that how powerful being able to hear a parent or a loved one's voice just when they're talking to you in their normal everyday way. Like I know my husband has so many words that are unique to him and the ways that he talks to the girls and things that he says. And Yeah, I know for the girls having that captured is in 30s time when they watch that they'll remember that and they'll be able to be transported to how it felt in that moment to be with their dad and have him talking in that way. It's huge. It's so huge. Yeah. I think it is too.
00:10:10
Speaker
um So on that, using everyday moments to tell a family story, what are some examples of everyday moments that you are glad that you filmed when your kids were little? Oh, so many. all So many. Um, when I also say this but before you go, Kylie and I both have teenagers and we've been both filming for a decade. We have so much experience with having footage of our kids being little and now what that feels like to have later. So I'll preface it with that. But yeah, what are some things that you can, I know mine.
00:10:50
Speaker
Look, I think one of them is the trampoline. Like the kids, the girls, like they spent so many hours on the trampoline playing as kids and not just- Do they still?
00:11:02
Speaker
No, we got rid of it. It went, we got rid of it a couple of years ago. And so I remember when my husband pulled it apart and it was probably like 18 months ago when he pulled it apart and thinking to myself, Oh, it's like the end of an era. Cause we got that when they were really little. Yeah. And I've got so, I made a video that's just about them being like on the trampoline. I've got multiple videos with footage from them on the trampoline and not just the two of them, but with their dad as well. Cause we purposely got a giant trampoline cause my husband wanted to go on it. And that was, and I remember standing at the kitchen window and looking out as he was pulling it apart and thinking to myself.
00:11:47
Speaker
I am so glad I captured that. I'm so glad I have video of them on there and the hours that they would spend on there. yeah And then on top of that, there's just the little things. There's one video of like when my youngest is, I don't know, she's like maybe 18 months old. She's a small, very early toddler. And my husband's trying to um brush her teeth and she hated having her teeth brushed. like She hated brushing her teeth. And she's like,
00:12:16
Speaker
the way she would, she's just grizzling and hearing that gristle, even though at the time it was frustrating. I'm so glad I have that. Cause it just, it takes me straight back and the video kids hate having their faces wiped. Oh my gosh. If a toddler is getting their face wiped into session, I am videoing that cause it's so funny and it's so frustrating.
00:12:38
Speaker
in the moment as a parent but when you look back on it now when I see that happening to other parents I'm like oh I remember that like it takes me back so yeah things like that little things like that and just their little voices it's making me teary thinking about this the way they used to doy That's how my daughter used to say her sister's name. oh yeah And it's so simple. They were never doing anything fancy or just sitting around the house. We were just doing stuff. And I'm so glad that I have that. I have video of them sitting at the bench and we would, every morning together, I would make breakfast and I would stand on one side of the bench. They would sit on the other side and we would eat breakfast. And I remember at the time when I set up the camera to capture that thinking,
00:13:27
Speaker
I'm going to miss this because it's not always, they're going to get too big to do this and they're not going to want to do it. And sure enough, we don't do that anymore. And I miss it. And it's such a standard everyday thing.
00:13:39
Speaker
Yeah. I filmed when my daughter was stopping with the dummy. For anyone who is American, that would be a pacifier. They call it a dummy here in Australia. And it was just right before we had to give it up. And that I think for me was big. That was big.
00:14:03
Speaker
yeah having that on video in the way that she would like have to and just swap them. And so having that on video is really special. And I think as well having their relationship as siblings together on video, that's a big deal for me. yeah it It doesn't matter really what they were doing. It's just having those relationships and like the way that they would connect with each other and yeah I play together and I just really love, I really love having that. I'm so glad that I filmed them.
00:14:40
Speaker
when, and made the effort to do it, because it was really easy. It still is now. I wish I made more of an effort now, but it's, yeah as teenagers, it's just different, right? but They are so not as willing. it's just this i very They are willing, but it's like on their terms. it's good yes they want so Exactly. It's not like you could, and let's face it, most of the time, what are they doing? They're just sitting with a device or reading or like doing homework.
00:15:07
Speaker
Yeah. Or they're busy with all of their activities. Mine is constantly basketball. So it's very hard to find it. And so you can capture snippets of that, which I still do. And one day, one day I'll put it together into a video. Yeah. But I think that that is the important thing too, though, is I'm glad that I have the skill to be able to capture those small bits of video. So even if I don't put it together, like it doesn't have to go into something now.
00:15:33
Speaker
No, it will go into something later. Yeah. Like that motherhood video that I made, that's like the compilation of, I made it when the girls, I think with 10, probably eight and 10. Yes, I think they were. And it's got footage from literally like newborn stage through to that, their current age. And it's, it's so good to see it all together. So I always think about that in my head when I capture these little yeah snippets of teenagers who give you filthy looks when they notice that you're filming them.
00:16:03
Speaker
Yeah. We're like, why are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you filming me? That's what my 11 year old will say now. Like my, oh, you're filming me. I can see you're filming me. A lot of times I'll stand behind a door and then just move my camera out and hit the auto focus button and like, hope they don't hear it focus and don't look up straight away.
00:16:27
Speaker
yeah So something I guess I want to talk about is approaching storytelling as a
Filmmaker's Approach to Storytelling
00:16:35
Speaker
filmmaker. So when you're filming a family and you're going through the process of filming what we're talking about now, which is your everyday moments, what's going through your head in terms of storytelling and what do you like?
00:16:49
Speaker
thinking about as you're deciding on what to shoot and where to stand and where to be and all of that, which I think is probably hard for you and I now to even, you're just like, what am I thinking about? Because it's such a subconscious thing after doing it for so long. I just do it.
00:17:11
Speaker
And you're much better at putting that into words than I am. okay I'll start. I think that it is a real balance to get people in the right frame of mind to be filmed. And that's so key before you even think about shooting it and like where you'll be in terms of storytelling. it's You really need to plan it without planning it too much. yeah You need to get your clients in the right headspace of, okay, she really means it when she says it'll be everyday moments.
00:17:52
Speaker
And because it's really easy for a client to be like, okay, we're going to do this, and then we're going to do this, and then we're going to do this, and it's, okay, what's next? What do you want us to do next? And I find that really hard sometimes because I honestly believe the real story is in the in-between stuff. It's in the stuff that they do when when they're preparing for the next thing. That's really where it is.
00:18:16
Speaker
And it's so hard sometimes to get people to understand that, but that that's it. That's the golden stuff. That's the magic right there. And so it's what's key, I think, when it comes to storytelling and thinking about where you'll stand before you and think about where you'll stand or where you'll be. You've got to really think, how can I get people to relax enough to be themselves so that I can really capture who they are. And then there, from there, it's the standard wide shot, mid shot, close shot. That's the, if you're looking for a formula, that's it essentially. And then it's just, where can I go from there? How many different ways can I shoot this one thing of what they're doing? Like, yeah how can I make this look really cool? Or how can I at least just get this in focus? Like, yeah.
00:19:10
Speaker
ah spectrum of those two things. And there's a very fine line of how long an activity or something goes for because too short and you don't get and enough too long and you do start to get to that point where you're like, okay.
00:19:27
Speaker
yeah looking around and going, where can I get something that's different? Cause you've already captured it. But I think that's, that's one of the fun things yeah about it. And one of the fun things with video is you can get all your shots. And then if it is something that does go on for a bit, then you can start to get really creative and have a bit of fun with it too. But yeah. that yeah I think, I think that is one of the hard things is yeah, preparing the client enough in the first place to have them understand what the process is that it really is just them doing what they usually do and that they don't need to pose and they don't need to look at the camera and they can just do what they do, what they would normally do. And then you'll create the magic and getting them to trust you to do that too.
00:20:17
Speaker
That I think is so key. It's that trust is so important. And and I think making sure that they know that they don't like you're going to get it. And then that's really where the trust things come in. I do think it gets easier after you filmed a family. Some families are great and they just trust like they are just actually trusting people. And so they're like, you do your thing and we'll just play. Some people are a little bit more controlling, shall we say, and they're constantly looking at you. Are you getting this? Are you getting this? And that makes it so hard because they're not fully present. Their attention constantly is on you. You're having to cut out all of the little eye flicks towards the camera.
00:21:01
Speaker
And so it's really building that relationship with them before you shoot. And I know that is not necessarily something photographers are always used to doing. Like a lot of photographers out there would probably not spend nearly as much time as I do, we do, with our clients before shooting. But that's why we're able to get the type of footage that we get. There is no real magic to it. It's purely just building a relationship so that they feel really comfortable and they trust you to to do your thing. And they can just... I think too, getting to know what kind of person they... It's always good to know if someone really loves to sit and play with their kid heaps, or if they're more of a family that like... goes and does stuff. That's such a fun because i ah like I was never one who really enjoyed sitting and playing with blocks for hours and I totally understand how hard that can be yeah for some parents so it's like yeah that that pre-shooting communication is everything because then if you know that you can plan things around it
00:22:14
Speaker
Yes, completely. And it's just one of those things that I think you have to really give it a lot of time. You have to give it the amount of space that is required. And look, it doesn't have to be hours and hours that you spend with these people. It's not like you need to meet them in person or anything like that. All I do is send out a questionnaire and I schedule a call with them. So in that way, it's really simple. But during that call, it's really all about explaining how that works.
00:22:45
Speaker
Which can be hard when you're first starting making films. One of the benefits I think of Filming Life Academy is that we have this client prep guide that I created, which is a template which you're able to use for your clients. And I also think you can use it as a bit of a script. Like you can use that as talking points that you go through during your Zoom consultation call with a client. I always do mine on Zoom. That can be a really helpful way of just making sure that they know what to expect and you are reassuring them that it's all going to be good and you know what you're doing and yeah you've got that. And I think that's why for video particularly like the portfolio building process is so important as well because being able to show someone a film and say, okay, this is what a this is what a family film is and what it looks like. And then being able to speak to what you did
00:23:41
Speaker
During that session they like they didn't do anything special they would like we did this and we did this and giving them that kind of example where they can go oh okay so yeah like and that makes a difference and so having that portfolio that you've put together when people start giving you money is so important because you can really show them like How good does this look? How good does it make you feel when you watch it, when even though it's not your family? And this was just everyday stuff just hanging out in your house. And I think too, just on that that note of portfolio building, like taking the time after you've done a family film session and evaluating how it went and what are the things that you feel like contributed to things going well,
00:24:26
Speaker
And what are the things that you did that contributed to it not going well? That's such an important process to sit down and evaluate, self-evaluate how the session went and what you can do to be better for the next one. How you can get your clients to be like, how can you get your next client to do more of what you are hoping that your last client would do? Can you learn something? I still learn something.
00:24:52
Speaker
Yeah, with every single session and every single client prep call and yeah always think of something you will learn something new that can help you be better for the next one. Yeah, I had my first thing that happened on the weekend when I was shooting and the oldest daughter they've got four kids and the oldest daughter was.
00:25:14
Speaker
the more experienced at this and i'm the younger daughter so they've had three films with me before and the younger daughter was less because she was six and the last film we did was four years ago three years ago and so the oldest daughter kept like correcting her and telling her stop doing that stop you're not the center of attention just stop doing that And so I actually first first time had to have words with the 12 year old and be like, hey, listen, it's okay. And she's just excited. But I promise you that if we just ignore this behavior, she'll settle into it and she'll be fine. Like she'll stop performing. But right now she's just excited that I'm here. And she just wants to make sure that she shines in front of the camera.
00:26:01
Speaker
And I said, so just let her do this. She'll get it out of her system and then we can move on. But you just hang out with mom. Like you just play and you just, just don't worry about it. And she was like, okay.
00:26:13
Speaker
I just had to laugh because it's like yeah but that's the thing that I would normally be like having that conversation with the mom beforehand like just they're gonna be wild at the beginning but just let it let them relax into it um just not realizing I was probably gonna need to do it with the 12 year old as well but just knowing how she must be feeling in that moment she's you're ruining this for me everything you're I'm just like It's fine. It's okay. She can have her moment. It doesn't have to go in the film. like It'll be fine. But I think, too, that's something that I find like with families, the kids, especially the older kids. like I walked away for a minute to go change lenses, and she had been doing something. And when I came back, I could hear her saying, wait, just wait until she's back so that we can get it on video.
00:27:07
Speaker
And I'm just laughing in my head because I'm like, It may not make it in the film. I think that every single thing we shoot is gonna, this is four hours worth of age like. Oh dear, but. oh Maybe you need to now start having pre-consultation calls with 12 year old
00:27:40
Speaker
We have a certain level that we think that things should be done. That's fair. We tend to keep our siblings in line. As the youngest, I don't relate to that very much. but I was that third child who was out being the crazy one. Yeah, I was the oldest and I was like,
00:27:59
Speaker
Can you just do it properly, please? Like, let's get this right. Everybody follow the rules. Yup. Alright, so lastly, let's talk about finding your voice as a filmmaker.
Finding Your Unique Storytelling Voice
00:28:15
Speaker
We've talked about this so much, but how can filmmakers- We did a whole episode on it, didn't we? Yeah, I think we did, but how can filmmakers start finding their unique storytelling voice? What do you think?
00:28:26
Speaker
Oh, look, and there's so many ways. And I think, I think I've said this before that voice, people get hung up on finding their voice and that it's it's got to be one specific thing and then that will always be it. And I think what it actually, it's something that evolves over time and it doesn't stay the same. Like it changes, but best way is literally to just shoot as much as possible. Definitely.
00:28:52
Speaker
take the time to watch what you're making back and reflect on it and take notes on it and see the things that like tend to start recurring because sometimes we we have this subconscious way of doing things and we're capturing things without actually realizing that we're gravitating towards things or not realizing that we tend to always choose a specific kind of music. We do it subconsciously. And so taking that time to sit down and go back over your work and make notes about it and look at it. What are some common things that start to come up? I think that
00:29:25
Speaker
is probably one of the most underrated ways completely to do that and to ask other people, which is like, I know for me, like I had you and I had a couple of other mentors that I would share things with and show my work to and say, what do you think? What do you see? And it really does help you to strengthen the things that you're really good at and that you really love and are drawn to. And then that becomes identifiable as your voice, as time goes on.
00:29:54
Speaker
completely. I wish that people would learn to trust their intuition more. I wish that people would lean it into the things that they love and that they're drawn to and and not worry so much about what they think will sell or what they think will be popular or trendy or any of those things. I wish that people would just believe that
00:30:33
Speaker
what they see and what they put together and their unique perspective of the things that they are observing and witnessing and the stories that they tell about them. I wish that people leaned into the value of that because I think at the end of the day, when I think about why people book something with me, I truly believe that they book a session with me because they want to see their life through my eyes. and And I think a lot of that comes from really leaning into my own intuitions about what
00:31:15
Speaker
matters and what's important. And it would be so much easier to shoot in the way that I know is more popular to the broader general public. That would be, I can do that. I can totally do that. But I, it's never been where my passion lies. It's always been in seeing people for who they are and like relating my own experiences with theirs and using that to form a story that comes partly from within me, but partly from within them. And it's a collaboration and it's not just a cookie cutter experience every single time. It's never going to be the same formula.
00:32:05
Speaker
for every client. It's never going to be the same film that they get. It's not going to be. And I wish people just leaned more into that. That's your intuition. That's your gut. And in the way that you described how to do that is exactly what everyone should be doing. You should be taking the time to sit down and actually thinking about what you like. I just think people watch things or look at things and they're like, that's great. And they just never spend that time to figure out what they like the most about things or why they like things.
00:32:39
Speaker
yeah why they can They get scared about the things that they like thinking yeah nobody else does this. yeah And so instead of leaning into that, right they pull. right But that's actually their superpower, like the magic. yeah that's the that's what That's what makes your films unique and more compelling and more interesting. It's the weird shit. You need to be okay with that.
00:33:04
Speaker
So I think a good example of that is like, I tend to use music in my films that most other people wouldn't choose, even for like, definitely for my personal films. But even for my client films, I do tend to use music that is perhaps not what other people would use but I like that. Like I really like using quite different music and using that to help me really build a story. Like i when I choose my music, I think about it as if it's like ah another character to the story. It's not just Cecil for vision. it's And I for a while there would pull away from that. And I wouldn't choose the music that like was sitting on my fun stuff list.
00:33:50
Speaker
but Yeah, it was just for fun. Yeah, that would be for my own personal ones. But now I try to lean into that a bit. And I'm not going crazy with it or anything, but I definitely do tend to choose music that I think a lot of other people probably wouldn't. And I've discovered that that contributes to the stories that I tell as a filmmaker and how I put them together. And that contributes to my voice as well, because people know, oh, that's a Kylie song choice. ah hu Yes.
00:34:20
Speaker
And instead of continuing to resist that, I've lent into it more and more. And now I've discovered that as I've done that over the last couple of years, the films that I make now, I love them so much more and they really hit so much more because I'm really inspired by that music, which then helps me to really put that story together.
00:34:39
Speaker
Yeah, totally makes sense. I hope that this episode has been helpful for you guys. It's
