The Perfect Brew
1 year ago
The Sri Lankan tea industry is undergoing a renaissance. Once upon a time nearly 60% of all revenue exports were from tea. With the end of decades of civil war and an improving economy the tea industry is set to boom again. Eco tourism and organic blends are being used to try and help sell Sri Lankan tea to the world.

Prev week
did you mic into camera direct or via beachtek?
Again, very good package. I think you and Steve Chao make a good team.
There was no jib, dolly or steadycam used on that shot. It was something much similar, I'd share it but it's my secret move :) Same move can be seen on the Japan rooftop gardens story too.
I have shot enough stories now on DSLR that Steve and I have a good system worked out. If you don't have reporter who is interested in helping out it makes it very difficult. Steve is very into the use of these cameras as well. We pre discuss the shoot and the elements we need and want to craft the story. Steve also carries the lenses and is there when i shoot helping me out.
I don't use this camera to shoot stories with anyone else. If your reporter and/or producer isn't aware of the process and is prepared to help out then you will be fighting a loosing process.
And i'm also DSLR video guy and i still never shoot that what you shoot. awesome dude.
I'm really proud to be a Sri Lankan, and loving your footages . .
Cheers for your good work . .
Amila from Sri Lanka . .
Many thanks

A lot of pre planning goes into these stories as we normally set up 3 or 4 to shoot in one country at a time. Both these stories were shot in less than a day and edited in 3-4 hours.
Aljazeera is well funded and theses stories cost a lot of money to do.
ND graduated filters Matthew.
Hard to believe you didn't graded in post.
Really beautiful work, well done.
Great work all the same... Geoff
Cheers!
