Earlier this spring we had the opportunity to travel to Brazil to do a documentary on Fair Trade honey. We tagged along with Dick and Alan Turanski, of GloryBee Foods, as they met the people in NE Brazil who would be making their honey. Their desire was not to just simply buy honey fair trade, but to actually engage with the communities who would directly benefit from their relationship. Here is the story.
We used the Canon 5D Mark II and the Canon 7D, along with the Cinevate Slider and Uno Rig.
Photos from Trip to Brazil: Fair Trade Honey
Posted on 20. May, 2010 by Ryan in Photography, Video
Ryan returned yesterday from a 6-day trip to Brazil to film a documentary on Fair Trade honey. He shadowed Dick Turanski and Alan Turanski, of Glorybee Foods as they meet with the bee keepers, whose honey they will buy via this Fair Trade purchase.
It was amazing to meet the people of NE Brazil (one of the poorest areas in Brazil) and see how they live and how honey – specifically Fair Trade honey – is allowing them to grow their community in a positive way.
We’ll be producing a documentary in the next 90 days, but for now, here’s some photos from the trip.
Here’s a video we produced for Glorybee Foods that features their ‘Bee Days’ that takes place in April.
Last weekend we were on hand to film Glorybee Food’s Soap Making class. We’re scheduled to produce a ‘how-to-make-soap-from-scratch’ video and will use some of the clips from the class to incorporate into the video. Here’s a few still from the raw footage.
