VAIKYSTĖS TAKAS
Concept / Shoot / Edit
Being with the kids is never quiet, never predictable, and always full of wonder.
Plans barely exist. I follow the kids. They run, tumble, invent games, and bring their own ideas to the table. I mostly just move with them, capturing whatever unfolds. The right tools help, but the real spark is in their energy and curiosity.
I watch how their minds work, how their hearts feel, and it’s impossible not to be inspired. They remind me why I care about being present, noticing, and following.
The result isn’t a polished video — it’s alive, messy, funny, and real. Being there, laughing, learning, and moving with them reminds me why I do what I do.

MINI BITES
Seeing them slip into chef outfits and fully commit felt energizing. I moved between joining their play and gently holding the space, and that warmth stayed with me long after, echoed in the edit and in messages from parents.

BOO!
ŠIRDĖTI
I remember that day as a beginning. I didn’t feel fear. Just a clear sense that I was moving in the right direction. Those first steps as a solo videographer felt exciting, alive, and full of possibility.
I usually avoid trendy content, seeking authenticity instead. But this video shifted something. I stepped into unfamiliar territory and felt it click. Beyond views, it truly reflects me and the joy I find creating with kids.
I left my phone on the table and said, “Grab it and film yourselves.” It was fascinating to watch myself. I usually build everything from scratch, but this time I let go of control and just observed what emerged.
I observed the youngest children, reading their eyes to understand them since many can’t speak yet, and captured quiet, tender moments. It made me feel childhood anew, almost through a magnifying glass.
It felt like we’d all jumped into the most fun game. The kind I would have loved as a kid. The kids’ answers stole the show, and I got to join in, laugh along, and turn all that energy into a video I can’t stop smiling at.
As a child, I loved inventing games that only happened once. Making this video brought back that thrill, and creating it was pure joy. It flows from within, I know what I’m doing, and I know it will be fun.
Hardly any words are needed for this one. The video just radiates my love for our country. Simple, honest, and full of feeling. It reminds me, and I hope others too, to love ourselves and each other.
WITH THEM
I just imagine that when I was in kindergarten, I would have loved a strange lady with a camera to show up and say, "I’ll film, and you do whatever you want. Then we’ll watch it together."
SNOWY DAY
Watching this video, you can almost feel it. Snow crunching under your boots, cold cheeks, running with friends during winter break, coming inside for lunch, curling up to watch those special winter-only cartoons.
STRONG INSIDE
I asked the kindergarten teachers to nurture these self-esteem–building beliefs for a couple of weeks, and only once the children truly felt it from within, I captured it. The video gained wide visibility, and even though it was inspired by an existing one, that doesn’t bother me. The children’s words share lessons many adults still need to learn.
BIG ME
The response to this video sparked conversation and a bigger idea. We decided to introduce monthly AI sessions for the kids, and I was invited to help shape them. I believe children should meet this technology early. Not as something scary or distant, but as a tool they can understand, explore, and use to create beautiful things.
