Ceja Vineyards kicks-off “Straight from the Source” video series
AmericanWinery.com is proud to present another great feature to our customers and winery partners. “Straight from the Source,” is an innovative ongoing video series aimed at further bridging the gap between winemakers and wine-lovers.
The premise is simple. We mail a Flip video camera to our winery partners and encourage them to record any aspect of the winery life – daily operations, tastings, harvest footage – anything that would give our consumers a firsthand view into the the lives of the people and the processes behind their wine. Once the winery sends the Flip back, we edit the footage into a short clip and post it – introducing a world of wine-lovers to the story behind the wine.
Our goal with this project is to recreate the “tasting room” experience on-line; to showcase the hard work and dedication that goes into each bottle by bringing wine-lovers further into the winery’s world. We hope this video series will encourage our customers to foster a personal relationship with the wines they drink.

Very nice. I like your work very much! I didn’t know the Flip video camera, and I have a question: what about audio recording into a situation like a fair, very noisy, full of people? Is it ok?

Glad you enjoyed the video! Be sure to check back as more great videos are unveiled! And spread the word to your blogs, friends, etc… who knows, maybe your friend’s winery or a winery of your liking might be next! :)
Cheers!

@fabio, I’m glad you found these videos worthwhile, and as to the Flip camera’s microphone – it is not spectacular, and picks up surrounding noises. So, if you are trying to interview someone, I would not suggest doing it at a place like the fair. But, if, on the other hand if you want to capture the overall feeling of the fair, the crowd’s liveliness and whatnot, the camera does a pretty good job of not distorting the audio, even during pretty loud times (I just wouldn’t record a concert with it)
