Vineyard Views: ‘Bersi Serlini Franciacorta’ In Northern Italy (Video)
Took me a while to complete this project, but it’s finally done. I am absolutely honored to have shot this piece for one of my favorite winery in my hometown, Bersi Serlini Franciacorta. As many of you know, I’m a big fan of wine and I’m always happy to shoot this kind of projects. Franciacorta is a very special sparkling wine, made with the same method of Champagne.
This piece is also very special because Arturo, the founder, passed away only one year after I shot this documentary and I feel honored I was able to interview him. Everything was shot on BMPCC4K and Canon FDs (24mm f/2.8 and 70-210 f/4) and Laowa 9mm f/2.8. The drone footage was captured with DJI Phantom 4 Pro and DJI Inspire 2 with the X7 camera by Matteo Bertelli. The documentary was edited and graded in DaVinci Resolve using BUTTERY Natural Rec709 LUT. Everything was lit exclusively by Relio lights.

Views: A ‘1950 Hudson Commodore Eight Convertible Brougham’
1950 Hudson Commodore Eight Convertible Brougham
Lot Location: Tilburg, Netherlands
Hudson’s step-down cars for 1948 marked a new direction for the company, as it had a partially unitary design, with the floor pan on the bottom of the frame rather than on the top, resulting in one literally stepping down to enter a Hudson. There was an all-new six-cylinder engine, but the legacy straight eight, which had been continually updated since its introduction in the 1930s, was also carried over. Its low center of gravity made for excellent handling, for which step-downs are still revered.
The new cars bowed on December 7, 1947. “You’re face to face with tomorrow,” said the ads, and “this time it’s Hudson.” Both dealers and the public were elated. The roof was low, but there was still plenty of room inside. Sales jumped nearly 50 percent over 1947, and Hudson rose from 13th to 11th place in the market.
Incremental internal improvements were made to the engines for 1949, and for 1950 the grilles and taillights were updated. Genuine leather was used on convertible interiors, and an electro-hydraulic power top and windows were standard.
Economics Of Nature: ‘Mapping The Ecosystems Of Liberia, Africa’ (Video)
NASA is working alongside Conservation International and the Liberian Government through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to pilot an innovative and replicable approach to more accurately map ecosystems to support effective planning and sustainable decision-making. NASA’s satellite data and expert analysis will provide a country-wide picture of Liberia’s hardwood forests, mangroves, and other ecosystems; Conservation International and the Liberian Government through the EPA will augment that data with their expertise in ecosystem accounting, field studies, and local knowledge to quantify the value of the country’s natural resources and related ecosystem services.
Liberia is a country in West Africa, bordering Sierra Leone, Guinea and Côte d’Ivoire. On the Atlantic coast, the capital city of Monrovia is home to the Liberia National Museum, with its exhibits on national culture and history. Around Monrovia are palm-lined beaches like Silver and CeCe. Along the coast, beach towns include the port of Buchanan, as well as laid-back Robertsport, known for its strong surf.
