How To Extract Coconut Oil

Video I created for for Dixie Lincoln-Nichols, Founder and President of Dixie Bits, which is "a gorgeous and eco-friendly line of beauty product."

In this video, you will learn how to extract coconut oil from a coconut on a stovetop.
It was entirely shot with a Canon 7D, Canon 50mm 1.8. For audio, I used the Zoom H4n + a Sony wireless lav mic (UWP-P1).
Note that we used natural light for this, and NO color grading was made!.

@dstrtmali202 lol! Sometime you've to go with what you've! Harsh, but I do appreciate the comment! Suggestion on how to make it better next time? Thanks

[dstrtmali202]

@Lemossi Thanks for such a speedy response. The film quality was superior, amazing camera. NaNa was awesome support, you are beautiful. The operator just should get a grip on zooming in and out. x0x0x0

@dstrtmali202I did the cam work actually, I chose not to zoom in and out, persona taste, rather get b-roll later on, but I guess I failed at doing that, for someone who always get b-roll like crazy, lol! Also, I shoot for the most part with primes/fixes lenses, which doesn't allow zooms (in/out), The zoom lenses (3.5 or 4) require additional light to get the best quality picture! :-), when in low light environments :-)

@19RATAN Thank you for your feedback!!! You are absolutely correct. it's not Virgin. We extract both virgin and non-virgin, and virgin kept popping out my mouth. Usually, when we do virgin. We let it stand or put it in the refrigerator so the oil can separate.  Appreciate it your feedback...xo

@Israelitepriestess lol..lol....Grandma would not make me touch the coconut. She grates with lightening speed and never uses a blender to grate the coconut. Thank you for watching and the feedback...xo

[dixiebits]

@Funtolearn2011 Thank you!! What I meant was it was of no use to the oil extraction. I should have made that clear. Coconut water is the best. I watch myself, my errors and read the great feedback and learn..xo

@DaMeekz Thank you...Muahz to you too. You know how we island people do it. We use everything for something....xo
