You may already be aware of this, but, from the experience of watching old home movies while my mom digitized them: if you're recording video or taking pictures at least in part for your kids, be aware that they may care more about seeing old you and other relatives than they will old them, so try to turn the camera on yourselves once in a while.
It can be really easy when filming/photographing your kids to forget this, in my experience, at least. Parents seem to focus on the kids to the exclusion of everything else. I make a conscious effort to get my wife or other adults in frame with the kid(s) when possible, now that I know what it's like to watch old home movies when you're all growed up. Also the occasional slow sweep of a room or other context before/after a shot so maybe they'll get a few more "oh wow, I remember that chair!"-type moments than they otherwise might. No one ever thinks to film the furniture :-)
Not entirely true. Maybe those without kids, but I personally hate taking selfies. I only do it because of the kind of idea above.
I typically want to see photos of myself later, but I'd rather remember what I saw so my memories come back. There are years where I have basically 10 good photos of me, but maybe a 1000 great photos of everything else.
