A Fun Promotional Trailer...
Here we are with our first promotional video (kind of) in four years! Has it really been that long? Our last promotional video was filmed in Dubai at the Ramee Rose Hotel in March of 2012. It seems like so long ago.
A couple of months ago we purchased a Panasonic G7 Lumix 4K camera. It's a great camera with heaps of functionality - it's sturdy, light, and importantly for us we can mount an external microphone on the top of the camera. However, none of our computers were up to the task for rendering 4K video. We tried with Josh's trusty 2011 Mac Mini and surprisingly it could render the footage because Josh had upgraded it with a Samsung EVO850Pro SSD and 16GB of RAM last year. Even with these upgrades it was taking 4 hours to render 12 minutes of footage and we had to edit using just sound because the video playback was stuttering ferociously. So, three weeks ago we bit the bullet and ordered a top of the line iMac 27" 5K Retina with all the upgrades including:
iMac 27" 5K Retina Specs:
- i7 6700 cpu
- R9 M395X gpu
- 16GB RAM (plus the included 8GB giving a total of 24GB)
- 1TB Flash drive
- Final Cut Pro X
Filming & Footage
Armed with our new camera and computer combination we decided to film anything and everything including some special events at the hotel in which we are currently performing until the end of November 2016. All of the footage you see here was filmed at a wine & cheese event at the Eden Garden Bar located on the 16th floor of the Hilton Shenzhen Shekou Nanhai Hotel.
The lovely lady that you see with Soo in the video is May. She is the managing director of the wine brand that was being showcased at the event and is also a dear friend of ours.
Coming up...
Our next video will be a full promotional video for the Aroha Duo. It'll be about 6 to 7 minutes long and it will include snippets of several well-known songs and some awesome 'behind the scenes' footage to keep things interesting.
Stay posted, happy, healthy and wise!
Love from the Aroha Duo
