What do we have here? A [video promoting a piece of software called Ember](http://realmacsoftware.com/blog/ember-user-stories-adam-tinworth?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), starring me (and completely scene-stolen by my daughter):

This all came about at the last TEDxBrighton. [Thibault](http://realmacsoftware.com/blog/author:thibault?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) – whom I’d first met when he was working with Brilliant Noise – has recently joined Realmac, and I was singing the praises of Ember to him, as I’d recently discovered it. Would I appear in a video promoting it? Yes, I said. And promptly forgot about it.

He didn’t.

And so, a few months later, I found myself under the watchful gaze of [Frit](http://saritafrit.com/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)‘s lenses for [a day’s filming in Brighton](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/archives/2014/01/journalists-dslr-video-quality.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) and here at home in Shoreham.

It was a fascinating insight into how talented filmmakers construct the narrative of a video like this. And it actually makes my life seem significantly more cool than it actually is. (Hazel is *exactly* that cute, though – and demands her appearance fees paid in Duplo).

All in all, a worthwhile experience, in the service of [a worthwhile piece of software](http://realmacsoftware.com/ember?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). It’s probably the only advert I’ll ever appear in, but I did enjoy the process.
