Recently we partnered with Cityinfo TV to promote local tourism, and expect this number of hotels signing onto the travel channel to increase rapidly.  Currently our travel documentaries about Southern Africa resorts and regions are being broadcasted daily in 30 000 hotel rooms, guesthouses and game farms around the country.  Our annual growth rate is approximately 25% and a detailed report of all resorts where our material is broadcasted is given to all our valued clients once a year, or on request.

Online TV - Destination of South Africa in HD

Videos are excellent at providing a lot of information quickly as you can provide emotive images combined with audio providing the information. In an environment which requires you to make a connection with the viewer quickly or lose them this is very valuable. That said for video to be effective on the web they need to be internet friendly – short, punchy and relevant.

The benefits of investing in Video:-

  • Best way to convey a lot of information quickly
  • Can provide a great summary of your product
  • Makes your Website ’stickier’
  • Can be placed on You Tube (2nd largest search engine) and other video sharing sites
  • Can be embedded into maps and on your own web site.

Videos have been traditionally expensive however the barrier of entry has become significantly lower. If you are interested in developing video for your product contact Photos of Africa we can assist you do this cost effectively.

 

PHOTOS OF AFRICA 360° PHOTOS AND VIDEOS

360° degree imagery or virtual tours as they are commonly known are a very popular and powerful type of rich media. Photos of Africa virtual tours are great for helping to sell a destination or product (emotive) and provides the credibility that will allow a potential client to make a decision quickly. They relay information in great detail and are best used to give a very real feel of a room, lodge or location.We use the HDR technique to make our images look as realistic as possible, so you can "feel like you are really there".)

 

360° Video allows the viewer to observe video footage onscreen as usual, but with the ability to 'control the camera' through a full 360°.

By using the computer's mouse the viewer has complete control of the fully interactive video allowing them to choose which area they wish to view at any point in time. The viewer may also watch the video multiple times observing a different view each time.

You may wish to shoot 360° Video yourself, or get us to provide clips or processing for you, whatever your project please contact us, we can help.
