new venture with EX1 at DVinfo.net

Craig Hollenback · May 21st, 2008, 03:08 PM

Hello all,
I would like to introduce you to www.KeysTV.com the Florida Keys and Key West Video Travel Guide. watch videos, get maps, visit websites and print value savings coupons 7 brochures. Vacation planning made easy!
We are very excited about our new video business that we created and wanted to pass it on to you as food for thought. Perhaps you could do a similar video business in your area.
We are almost finished with the programming. The site is data base driven so that we don't have to make changes to indiviual web pages when we add content. Our newer videos are flash and are shot with the EX1. I hope that you enjoy them! We try to add a new one every other day.
Additionally, we are creating about a dozen other sites branded under "The Conch Republic"...it's a name given to Florida Keys and Key West, kind of a Jimmy Buffet thing.
We intend to franchise our site later this year so that anyone with a camcorder and edit software can do what we do in their own area without web skills.
Enjoy!

Best, Craig Hollenback

Thanks for sharing.

The video is nice and crisp as far as internet video goes.

Just wondering why it is not in 16x9 format?

Thnaks for checking it out....3x4 for portable devices...

Did you shoot in SD or shoot in HD and frame for 4x3?

By the way, nice web design as well.

Though I must say, it was a bit confusing when I followed your link.

All of the links on the left side take you away from the site, or at least open in a new window.

Hi Craig,

It is nice to see the site up and running. I had a great two weeks in Big Pine this past February shooting in the backcountry. Magical
