I enjoy using video to promote and support people's art, crafts and ideas, especially when it comes to entrepreneurial endeavors and sustainable living.

Ola Federico,

I just now resent a few basic instructions to help ya get started. Great Music / compelling Footage / and a good Story are the three main ingredients to producing a successful film, video or TV show. It is also very helpful to give continuous attention to who your audience is and custom tailor your production to them.

Let me know when and if you have more questions.

Thanks for the response. Regarding interviews, this is how it usually works... I spend some quality time coming up with ten or more inspired or intuited questions. Depending upon the intent of the footage, it can take up to an hour or less to ask and answer these, preferably in a place or setting in which the interviewee is most at home or relaxed inside or outside. Highlights from the interview are combined with supporting imagery to create an interesting, entertaining, educational and/or inspiring documentary- if only a minute long or more in duration. Lately, we have been producing four-minute spots or less then putting them on YouTube for the world to see. That's optional and up to you. Documentary IS fun, and professional interviews are really at the heart of a decent production. I appreciate your willingness to grant one. I plan to return soon to Kauai after completing a "rough-cut" of this documentary about the Na Pali Coast. Meanwhile, I was interviewed a few days ago, which was rare and exciting, during an outing to Eagle Mountain. Below is an example, though quite a bit different perhaps than the one we can do for you.

Sure, I'd love to do an interview. How does it happen? hey, thanks for the Small Town props, too. I'm glad we took care of you well. Nice job on making a documentary, that's got to be fun.

The smell of fresh ground coffee has always been intoxicatingly delightful to me. Though never a cup of coffee had I drank in my life until the first espresso. Everyone I knew drank coffee except for me. I thought it just tasted bitter and watery. That was 1970 through the 90's. My first double espresso made me think, "Now that tastes more like how it smells." But I still thought it tasted a little bitter. To date I have never bought a cup of coffee or espresso except for in Kapaa on the Island of Kauai, though I usually except and drink one if it is offered to me, and preferably with chocolate and soy milk. It wasn't until I stepped into Small Town Coffee that I felt inclined to purchase my first ever coffee. I was so impressed by the ambience and characters of the place that I asked the barista behind the counter what she thought the best beverage was. She whipped me up some specialty drink that gave me both a fine example of quality coffee and some other flavors that complimented it well. I ordered many of them after that. Later I wondered if I was going to get addicted to coffee like so many others. But I have not bought a coffee since the last time I was at Small Town. When I return there that is among the first things I am going to do.

Hi David,

I`m an argentinean barista, working in a non-profit venture to improve coffee-farming communities` livelihoods ... and I can use some of your experience as documentary producer.

I`m sending an email with a brief summary of the venture to DakineTv`s email address. Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Federico

Hey, David. I'm pretty sure I did very little wowing at Kona Joe's this year. I tried to challenge myself and probably challenged myself a bit too much..... Nice to see you, too.
