The Winexpression Pilot Video - Final Re-Edit
The final edit brings the Pilot episode of Winexpression down to 10 Minutes. If you got bored watching the first version, hopefully this one with 30% less fluff will capture your attention for the entire show. As always, comments and feedback are appreciated.

Great video, the eyebrows are really an eye catcher! No pun intended! No, I love the blog and what your doing. I added you to my links directory on my new wine website. Still under construction a bit but love to add quality sites like yours for my visitors! Keep up the good work!

Nothing says professional wine video quite like a well manicured brow and makeup, so I made sure to do both. I’d also like to take this time to thank my makeup artist - Katie MacKenzie.
Nice site, and thanks for the comments and link, I’ll return the favor!
Cheers!

[...] One of the questions I had when making my short documentary on the Livermore Valley wine region related to global warming. Although local winemakers argue that the average temperature has only risen by a few degrees fahrenheit since 1900, the question still remains, are those few degrees enough to have a negative effect on the wine? Wines grown in hot climates (think Lodi, Central Valley, Temecula, etc.) have a different taste than those grown in cooler ones, however, grapes thrive with good amounts of sunshine and heat. When is that extra heat to much? [...]

I know this is a little late, but the one sure tip I would make is to spend some more time setting up the microphone. If the point of the video is an intimate/casual conversation with winemakers, the microphone (clip on or wireless) has to be close enough to pick up a whisper without a hollow sound when a mike is too far away. But I certainly appreciate the initial effort, encourage your activities, and wish you success as Livermore, wine making, and wine enjoyment, has many interesting stories to tell.

Hi GBC,
Thanks for the comment. I actually didn’t have a microphone set up, that was just audio picked up by the camera. Unfortunately at the time, I lacked sufficient funds and time to set the interview up right, which is why this was just a pilot episode that has been put on the back burner for now. (Very time intensive.)
If I ever shoot another episode, I will definitely have proper equipment.

Good video. It’s great to keep getting wineries in front of the camera. Are you planning on producing more soon? I’ll echo one of the suggestions above, the key to great video is audio. Also you might want to check out the couple episodes of Profiles in Wine on my website http://www.discoverwinecountry.tv Looks like we are headed down a semi similar track.
