1)
Who made the videos?
I did (I’m the dad).
2) How did you
come up with the idea?
After seeing
how funny our baby looked when we first put her in her bumbo, I started
scooting her around the living room with my hands while making race car
noises. My wife and I thought it would be hilarious to make a short
stop-motion film of her moving around in her bumbo all by herself.

Someone at
Yahoo! must have posted it. I wasn't aware this was going to happen until I

plans for Bumbo IV, but I do have another Bumbo movie idea that I am working
on.

She loves the attention. Dad moves her and mom usually sings her favorite

software did you use?
Adobe After
Effects Pro 7 for the special effects. Adobe Premiere Pro 2 for the
rest.
14) How did you learn to movie making/edit video? What film school
did you go to?
I went to
college, but it didn't have anything to do with movie making or video editing.
I have always enjoyed video editing. So much that I taught myself.
15) What is a bumbo?
Bumbo is not the name of my daughter. It is the name of the chair that
she is sitting in. Technically it's called Bumbo Babysitter. The
definition of bumbo
is a drink made from rum, water, sugar and nutmeg.[1] Cinnamon is sometimes
substituted for or added to the nutmeg. Modern Bumbo is often made with dark
rum, citrus juice, Grenadine, and nutmeg.
