We have an important day in every May in a year. What is it? Yes, many people will have the right answer without second thought. It is Mother’s Day. As sons or daughter of your dearest mom, what will you do to celebrate this important day with your mother? What have you prepared for your mom? I believe that many daughters and sons will spend that day with their moms, but for the people who are far away for home, they will definitely want to find a different way to deliver their love. In fact, making a customized video for your mom is a very good idea. If you have a digital camera at hand, you will be able to shoot a video without any efforts. If your mom has an iPad Air at hand, you can convert the video to an iPad-compatible video file, and then send it to her so that she can save the video in her iPad Air.
