Italy Travel Video

See Italy in Videos shot and narrated by James Martin

Driving the Italian Autostrada - As a tourist, you have fewer options than Italians do for paying on Italy's toll roads. On this video, you'll see how to get a ticket to ride, and how to pay for that ticket.

Tuscany Olive Harvest - In late October you start seeing the folks of Italy's Lunigiana region start harvesting olives. In this video you'll see the relatively modern way of harvesting olives in Tuscany.

High Above Rapallo - You can get out in the countryside over the Gulf of Tigullio in the Italian Riviera above Rapallo, even without a car. Take the aerial tramway virtual tour with our video and see.

Pisa - The Quick Way to the Leaning Tower from the Train Station - A video about how to skip the attractions of Pisa in favor of the architectural failure of the Leaning Tower.

Eating Amongst Tuscany's Locavores - My neighbors in the Lunigiana produce an amazing amount of the food they eat. Here I create a meal out of real local foods.

It's All in the Hands - Documentation of the goings on at a 4th of July party in the Lunigiana with my neighbors.

Logitech Travel Mouse Review Video - Travel writing isn't the great package you might think it is.

Cannons and Corn - Making Polenta in the Lunigiana - Everybody does it, despite the noise.

Sony video camea used for italian travel videos

The Video Equipment

The video camera used on these Italian travel videos is a Sony HDR-TG1 Hi-Def Handicam that slips into a pocket and has decent 5 channel audio. See my Sony Handycam HDR-TG1 Camcorder Review on Europe Travel.

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 for editing, as it natively edits the AVCHD video format. The recently released Adobe Premiere Elements 7 does AVCHD as well, but was released too late for me to try on this trip. The Adobe software should be easier to use.
