This was a wonderful project shot at Cass Winery in Paso Robles, California. It features classical piano music by James Marra, interspersed with footage from the vineyard. We were able to film the piano music played live in a cellar room and the vineyard itself is beautiful. Narration given by James Marra with the script written by him. He also gives spoken descriptions of the classical piano pieces. It was filmed as a benefit fundraiser for New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur, California.

Shot with Sony Cameras for the performance and vineyard shots and DJI drones for the aerial footage. I recorded the piano with the Earthworks PM40 piano mic system, which I absolutely love for recording grand piano!
