What is Rack Focus?


"Rack focus" is a camera technique in which a blurry image is slowly adjusted into focus for dramatic effect. We could try to force that metaphor to be our blog's mission statement, but we're not going to push it.

cooking video how to make saganaki greek flaming cheese

One of the bonuses of working as part of a camera crew is the opportunity to sample gourmet cuisine at the end of the shoot.  Oh, it doesn't always happen.  Many a time, our camera crews live on Powerbars and Gatorade.

But producing how-to cooking demonstration videos -- such as this assignment for New Hampshire Magazine -- is always a pleasure.

What can we say?  Folksy restauranteur Jim Borbotsina's classic Saganaki dish melted in our mouths and got us hooked for life.  The Greek delicacy is "Flaming Cheese," and the kitchen theatrics is half the fun. 

Do you have a product or service you'd like to promote in a how-to or demonstration sales video? It need not involve either fire or cheese, but if it does, expect our camera crews to stick around a little longer off the clock!

(Jim Borbotsina serves up Saganaki and a variety of Greek/Italian specialties at The Way We Cook restaurant in Manchester, NH. Download a free copy of the Saganaki recipe here).
