A small favor to ask.

A friend of mine from Canada, just got a job as a host on a show on the web. Its a show about cooking and out-doors stuff. Anyway, in the first episode he was going to make bacalao. This is a Portugeese\spanish dish, that has been adopted by Norway. Upon researching the dish, he found out that the city i live in, is the bacalao capitol of the world. He asked me to help out abit on the show, and i did. Via skype. So I am in it, and I suck.

Anyway: What i am asking is this. Just watch the episode, so that they get views. spread the link to all your friends too. The hosts on the show are damn nice people, and it would be great for them if the show gets picked up by a network. So here is the link. Ohh and try out the dish they are making too. its great. Thanks in advance.

 

Still not exactly sure what that was but it looked pretty good!

I agree with BTA about the sound quality. When they weren't in the kitchen there was nothing coming out of my right speaker, definitely something to work on going forward.

 

I will mention the sound issue for them. I think they are doing 20 episodes or something, I am only in the first one, as a guest, so I am not sure what they are planning. Just spreading the link around like I promised.

 

That's a nice clip and you did well.

Something is confusing me, though, and because I'm a Dutchie, it's about the cheeses. The cheese they taste appears to be good, but I don't know which one they tasted. Also, there is no cheese on the recipe? Or is it used as some sort of topping?
(I also find it funny how English speaking people pronounce Gouda )

I would have liked a close-up shot of a plate of bacalao, but judging from the ingredients, it must be pretty awesome.

 

Yes good point. There should have been a close-up shot of the dish finished and presented. Other than that the show was well done I think besides the sound issues that have already been mentioned. I wish the show success.

Lol it's hard not to feel self conscious when you are in something Rawgrim, but you did fine

 

Yes, i agree. they should have included a pic of the finished dish. I noticed that too straight away.

If anyone is interested: here is a pic of what it looks like when done. http://ceciliesmat.no/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Bacalao1.png

Its a great dish, actually. Tastes better the more you re-heat it. And its a very good dish to experiment with in regards to spices and such.

The link got swapped. Here is the full version of the episode:

 

How do I do that exactly?

 

Ok, thanks. I will keep that in mind.

 

I loved the small talk!
"We kinda stole it ... Vikings, you know?"
"That's why I keep losing soccer matches"

Personally, I preferred the music of the first vid, if that's anything of importance to your friend. (Can't have enough feedback, I suppose)

 

Ohh constructive criticism is great. Tyler was asking for stuff like that anyway.

 

If your friend is interested in constructive criticism, has he opened a thread somewhere where himself where he can receive comments and suggestions? I think these guys have a lot of potential but there are also some areas that could use a tweak. The audio issues are very important because if they want to be taken seriously those are the kinds of details that people will automatically associate with professional vs non-professional video production.

 

Naw I just spread the link out for him, and promised to send whatever feedback it got his way.

 

Interesting! I don't know why you thought you did poorly, but even the shortened episode was pretty clear about how to make the dish.

The gal co-host is hot. ;-)
