    There is a saying in Sweden: "He who waits for something good, never waits too long." As a swede, I can say that this
    has shown to be very true in this case. Not only do we now have the privilege of finally taking part of this magnificent content -
    we have also had the pleasure of looking forward to it for quite some time. Knowing what was about to come - Cuba, the Sahakians,
    fine cigars - I must admit that the wait started to become a little bit frustrating. But now that the episode is here, what does
    it matter? He who waits for something good, never waits too long!

      Well said! The editing was a MASSIVE project that took longer than we expected. And our standard is only the best. So, it was without question we took the extra time to do the series right.
      You’ll love the rest of the content. It only gets better. At this point, I’ve now watched every episode several times, and I still find myself enjoying each just as much - if not more - than the first time I watched them!

    Man you made me cry. As Cuban myself that only went back to the island for the first time after 11 years away with my English kids this give me back the desire to visit again next summer. My children loved it and I am so glad I took them there for many many reasons, but the main one was to make them understand why their "mami" is the way she is. Thank you for this series, 😊

    Enjoyable video, I have really been looking forward to this series.
    Your visits to the Sahakian’s shop and my own fascination with cigars inspired a personal trip to Cuba in January. My experience visiting Cuba was entirely different and it’s a shame that this series will be sanitised. The Partagas store was barren and then they only had about 5-6 varieties to choose from and no boxes of note.
    Generally speaking, it was very difficult to get hold of anything at all… even food, including basics such as chicken, bread and potato were extremely scarce even for tourists and we found locals queuing all day just for family basics, even just 100 feet from the area you visited in this video.
    Whilst I understand that this channel is highlighting the quality and traditions of Cuba, it is very important that people realise the struggle of the Cuban people. There is plenty of information out there but please go see it for yourself or you will never understand. It is heartbreaking.
    Looking forward to the rest of the series Kirby!

    May I suggest on the next series with subjects speaking a language other than English that you keep the persons dialogue and use subtitles instead? It's nice to really hear their inflections and emotions, and let the passion in his voice come through. I do understand the need for a translator and the translators audio can be recorded on a separate track to be used to write the subtitles. Excited to see the series!

    • @teekue
      @teekue ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The translator is there for Kirby as well. ;)

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Translation is actually VERY difficult with video production. We did it a few different ways. To keep translation totally separate, it basically doubles or triples the time to film the segment.
      On our last trip, we experimented with simultaneous translation through an earpiece for me. Technically quite complex to manage on set (again - loads of audio equipment required with wires running everywhere).
      And then there is the issue of translation and subtitles. All very expensive and time consuming.
      Don’t think we haven’t through about it extensively. This was our first time filming with foreign language.

    • @onocoffee
      @onocoffee ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks@@kirbyallison for replying. I'm wondering if, in this case, your crew was to mic you, the translator and the guayabera maker with ISO recorders then that might allow each of you to speak naturally (and to each other) and then in post, the edit team would have three tracks of audio to work with and could use the translators track to generate subtitles while keeping the guayabera makers track the one the viewer hears. Just a thought.

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@onocoffee if I’m understanding you correctly, the challenge with this is that you get bleed from the other people’s audio into all the tracks. Still makes it difficult to isolate.
      On the most recent trip, we determined that the translation was most important for me since I’m the one doing the least talking. So, we placed my translator in a totally separate room so that his audio wouldn’t bleed and piped it into an earpiece for me. So, I was able to benefit from simultaneous translation. My questions would then be translated by a second translator for the subject that just spoke.

    This is wonderful Kirby! It would be great to see you return and have another Guayaberas made from the traditional, locally sourced fabric normally used. After all, no one would dream of turning up in the Outer Hebrides (the home of Harris Tweed) with their own fabric! I’m sure that choosing one of the fabrics already on offer would convey genuine, non-colonialist, well deserved respect for Emiliano plus his tradition, quality and craftsmanship!
    Hasta La Victoria Siempre ✊

    This was so fun. As an old Mexico resident I've been interested in Guayaberas since the 70s, though I don't wear them. Instead in the evening in the Tropics I like to wear a white Dress shirt with some Textural pattern, and enough silk or Rayon to have a slight Sheen, open collar, with white slacks and cloth shoes. 😺😺😺

    I love the way Emiliano hangs the shirts on the TV. Certainly the focal point of the room!

    Hi from Ukraine! Fantastic job with this video, can't wait to see the rest of the series! We can't leave the country due to the Russian invasion at the moment, but once there is peace, hope to travel to Cuba, or Dominican Republic! My long-time dream
