West Central Idaho - Summer/Fall 2006 - Q & A
Activity and Adventure Guide
What is it?
VidiTravel is creating an interactive movie about the people, events, businesses, activities, homes and natural beauty of Long Valley, the Heartland of Idaho. The guide will include coverage of McCall, Cascade, Donnelly, New Meadows and Riggins. The information will be available to visitors and local residents alike. The directory will include B-C (business-to-consumer) and B-B (business-to-business) sponsor companies. In effect, the area will have it's own full-time TV channel playing over the Internet.
Produced & Directed
VidiTravel is directing, producing and hosting the show. The area was chosen as the first in a series on the “The Greatest Places in America.” VidiZine Presentation Format: Video Vignettes (interactive mini-movies) will be created for each of the adventure categories and each of the sponsors. Think of it as a magazine where the “articles” come to life as video stories. VidiZine uses VidiChannel technology that allows for the creation of online interactive TV CHANNELS and represents the future of the Internet and media publishing.
