As a father of 2, I think the best videos I have are the ones of the kids when little doing everyday silly things. Pottering around in the living room, colouring in.
It's nice to capture these occassional snippets, and you can still be in the moment for important things.
No, not when recording is as simple as noting after the moment that you might have liked to capture that, and then telling your smart device to preserve that last 30 to 60 seconds of buffered video.
I have little to no recording of my children by myself because getting the phone out is always a pain and seems to take too long and make me miss the moment. That doesn't mean the few videos I have aren't appreciated.
The best tools enhance our natural abilities, not replace them. Having an enhanced recall function would be appreciated by many, I'm sure.
