Video - Snapshots of Italy
Posted at 05:47AM Aug 03, 2007 by CarolB
Our Staff Pick this week is by traveller Greer Cornish. It’s an example of how good voiceover, stills photography and some basic animation can produce a great clip, without the need for hard core video footage. Judging by your comments, it seems you agree too!
This video has been added to our LPTV Tripcast channel, dedicated to travel vodcasts, trip diaries, and the joys of life on the road, as well as our Guerilla Guide channel, where you’ll find the low-down on destinations from Lonely Planet authors and clued-in travellers.
Greer is currently in Peru and has taken a video camera with her this time. Go forth and point that camera sister! We look forward to viewing more.
