Italy Travel Video
Making Polenta
The idea of being a locavore in the US is that you eat local goods, say from fewer than 100 miles away or so. When I bought my house in a little Lunigiana village, I wasn't prepared for the fact that my immediate neighbors, those who lived in the same 16th century building as I, were producting most of the food they needed on a daily basis. White and red wine, prize winning salami, honey, and even polenta...
All this comes from a village of a few hundred people in the heart of the Appenine mountains in northern Tuscany, la Lunigiana. Amazing.
Thanks to the people of the Lunigiana for allowing me to poke a camera into their business. But what an amazing business it is.

The Video Equipment
The video camera used on these Italian travel videos is a Sony HDR-TG1 Hi-Def Handicam that slips into a pocket and has decent 5 channel audio. See my Sony Handycam HDR-TG1 Camcorder Review on Europe Travel.
I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9
