Henne about the
project and the idea behind it
With interactive video and other possibilities to navigate the user is able to travel
virtually and explore the coasts
and surf spots of South Africa. Besides fascinating and spectacular videos we provide him
all necessary information in order to enjoy a real travel around the Cape. Current
information about airline timetables, car rental, transportation of the surf-equipment,
weather, spot maps, accommodation and much more will be provided partly off line and
partly with links to the Internet. The final product will be an interactive, "road
movie like" report around windsurfing and surfing in South Africa on a DVD.
For that purpose I will tour with 2 camera men and one production assistant in February
and March for 40 days from Elandsbay at the Atlantic Ocean to East London at the Indian
Ocean. The whole trip will be recorded with DV-Cameras. To present a variety of sights
there will be shots with an underwater camera, teleobjective and - depending on the budget
- also recordings from an ultra-light air plane.
During the production in South Africa the web site (http://www.tideguide.org) will be updated every day.
Via laptop and modem or cellular phone short daily reports (text), photos and short web
optimised video clips of the day will be provided on this site. Further on the user will
be able to communicate with the team via E-mail. Everyone is welcome to give us feedback
or ask questions regarding this project. This web site will be a digital diary about the
3000 km tour. It will document the stories and events, enables the user to follow the tour
and will focus interest on the final product - the DVD. Also after the tour the website
will inform about the project and it's members.
And now: CHECK IT OUT !
