How NOT To publish a You tube Birth story or Hot to now make anyone want to watch your child be born!

As I said in my last blog about this subject, my grandad genes are kicking in and I have been trying to learn as much as I can about what to do in the delivery room. One thing I am looking at as the grand-dad is doing most of the videoing because I hear SO MANY times the dad says I wish I could have seen more instead of videoing so much. SO if my daughter inlaw wont mind and I promise to do what I can to promote her upmost privacy I will do it so my son can cut the cord or have the baby go skin on skin with him should mom need a rest. Any way, I need to pick a camera that is good in all kind of lighting condition so that the focal length.  One thing I have noticed is narrating the even by either parent with no pictures is right up there with Root Canals as far as fun to watch. Seriously. You want to turn off a audience QUCK like enough to get out of a burning theater? TURN the camera on Mom and Dad and have them narrate the action with no pictures!!! Viewers want to see #1 THE BABY!. And god forbid should there be a technicality viewers want to see what the nurse and or the doctors are doing. 99% of the time of what I have seen nothing ever happens but parents to be would like to see what happens if a twin comes out lazy and isnt breathing right. Its important to calm the parents down and the profesiioanalism of our doctors and nurses is OUTSTANDING. I have never seen anything where the child gets in trouble.
SO Key #1 Dont turn the camera on mom and dad and have them start yakking. Everyone is here (and in the future) to see the new boy or girl come into the world. THEY change SO much over the next 10 to 20 years YOU Mom and Dad DONT, so over voice but DONT put the camera on your munchkin and let them do the acting.
