- Parents never get around to creating an album or sharing with anyone - too busy
- This repeats itself week after week, across months and years
- In an average year, the family takes 20,000 pictures/videos, that represent 100-200 life events, plus lots of random non-event stuff
- They somewhat haphazardly share albums or individual photos over and over with
- Families of each kid’s class, for school related stuff
- Families of each kid’s sports team
- Family and friends for other events in the family’s life, like birthdays, entertainment events, vacations, etc.
- It’s a big mess that only gets bigger with each passing month/year
- Son has a school project in to highlight major events in his life
- He can easily think of many events, but wonders which ones he’s not remembering and might want to highlight
- He asks Dad to go through his pictures in Google Photos and figure out which ones he might like to use for key events
- He asks Mom to go through her pictures in Apple Photos
- Mom and Dad text/email photos that the Son wants to use
- It’s a royal pain!
- Daughter is graduating from high school
- Parents want to create a slideshow highlighting her 18 years so far
- The problem is, between mom and dad, they have 20,000 pictures of her, within their combined collection of 300,000 photos from the last 18 years!!!!
- How in the world do they sort through those to create a slideshow of meaningful moments in their life?!
- Xxxxx
- Before daughter leaves the nest and goes off to college, she thinks it would be really cool if the family did a movie night to watch highlights of their 18 years together as a family
- Again…how do they create a “family movie” pulling from 300,000 parents’ pictures/videos and another 150,000 by the kids? It seems like an impossible task!
- Instead, parents and kids sit together and browse through some of the albums they did manage to create in Apple & Google photos
- along with some of their FB/IG posts over the years
- and call it night
