Who doesn’t love filming food?

Posted by: Carol Gancia on Monday, March 28, 2011

I worked as a producer for two food-related shows in San Francisco for a couple years. It was a pretty amazing experience learning about how the back kitchen works in a real restaurant and during the filming of a cooking show. It’s been a while since my last food-related project. I missed it so much I decided I wanted to do more.

I recently directed and filmed a web video about gourmet french delicacies with Cloutandabout.com. We got a chance to learn how artisan sausages and pates were made. This company called Fabrique Delices also made truffle butter among other tasty gourmet delights. After 26 years in business, they had everything down to a science and an art. Backed up by a small but efficient manufacturing plant with over 10 people lovingly working with machines to create special French delicacies for an upscale market, they produced boxes of products shipped out to major airlines, hotels, restaurants and gourmet markets.

We interviewed the three dedicated artisans and businessmen behind the brand. Check back for the feature video on Fabrique Delices soon.

Inspiring Doc Shorts

Posted by: Carol Gancia on Wednesday, March 16, 2011

I produce promotional videos for a living. I love what I do but once in a while, I work on personal video projects that allow me to just let my own voice be heard. I started Ripplemakers.TV in late 2010 as an outlet for my creative energies. I love inspiring and motivating people to go beyond their perceived limits. Ripplemakers.TV is home to “Ripple,” a TV show consisting of documentary shorts about people who cause a positive ripple effect in the community. Our “Ripple” webisodes have had a total of over 52,000 YouTube views  with just 5 stories uploaded since July, 2010. Because of “Ripple’s” success, Ripplemakers.TV has attracted other filmmaker friends from all over the world to contribute stories from their own communities. Manila, Philippines was our first global contribution in January 2011, followed by Vancouver and Australia in April and May.

Check out our latest “Ripple” trailer and let us know what you think.
