Bratburger's First Videos



I decided to upload the first video tape of each child. The title only directs you to the "star," of each tape, it does not tell you who else is featured or the event(s) within.
Here's how they were uploaded...

Using Kelly's first tape as an example it's divided into 12 videos at approximately 10 minutes per. 
There is little editing. Excluding their naked bathing scenes, or without clothes, bathing suit, or diaper in a play pool or play pen these are how the tapes look. 
There were 3 cameras used over the 28 years. The first in 1982 was very limited (you'll notice a greenish tint in low light & sometimes light reflecting from metal surfaces). 
By 1988 the microphone stopped working & an external mic was used. 
You will see Kelly & Mike using a hand held mic. 
Uploading nearly 8 hours of video in youtube's HD took DAYS extracting the video from the DVD copies. 
Even if you don't watch the videos in their entirety allow them to load then scan each for the moments contained within. 
Michael's Part 7 is not so long it needs 3 parts. That file would not open. After all the other clips were uploaded I redubbed that VHS tape to DVD & was able to open the file. Instead of renaming all the videos they were uploaded as Part 7, 1-3. 
The reason Mike's videos are labeled "Best Christmas for Kelly," is because he's only days old & all the gifts are for the Queen who gets one of her favorite DREAM GLOW Barbie!
