Video Idea: Buddha's Brew Kombucha, Reese Miller, Kat Sampson, Adam Homeyer

a     Kombucha has been on the market for over a decade but why is it just now gaining popularity and notoriety? Well to start off, the drink used to be considered alcoholic and was labeled as thus. Buddha’s Brew, the Austin-based kombucha company, was one of the first brewers to lower the alcoholic content to virtually zero and up the probiotic count to 19 billion. Because of these vital changes, their drinks have gained popularity and have recently expanded to local HEBs.

      The structure of our story is basic with an introduction voice over to introduce the topic and speaker, followed by an interview with an employee, then the perspective of a consumer, ending with a closing voice over.

      While I briefly describe the presence of alcohol, high probiotic count and HEB distribution, the video allows different perspectives and an in depth look. One of the reasons there is a video component and not just a write-up is because of the location. The farmers market in Austin is usually bustling with costumers willing to sample a multitude of products. With the video component you are able to witness the atmosphere making it easier to imagine yourself in the costumers shoes. The sounds, combined with the visuals, enhance the experience. When you see people like you sampling a product that may seem foreign, you are likelier to do the same.
