Google Earth fly in to an Idaho Noxious Weed-Dyers Woad

Click on the image to the left to watch a QuickTime Google Earth Fly in above Idaho to a location in Bannock County where there is an infestation of Dyers Woad. The fly in dissolves to a video narration with Dave Hallinan, Bannock County Weed Supervisor, explaining to Roger Batt, Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign Coordinator, how a fungus called rust acts as a bio control agent.

This High Definition 720p movie (Screen Size 1280 x 720)
is hosted on my Blip.tv space where you can also watch it in a flash format and an interesting new "full screen" format. Also note that I created the original Google Earth Fly in movie was in a true High Definition window size (1920 x 1080) and the HDV video content was edited in Final Cut Pro in the same size.

Eric Sandmeyer has gratiously allowed me to attach a portion of his "Soaring" sound file to this movie. This music really adds to the fly in.

We (Mountain Visions) are creating a web site for the Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign. A full screen 360 degree panorama and additional video sequences describing Dyers Woad are available to view if you click here.

Google Earth Fly in to Owyhee Canyonlands - 45 Ranch

Click on the image to the left to watch a QuickTime Google Earth Fly in above Idaho to the 45 Ranch in the Owyhee Canyonlands area. This movie (Screen Size 848 x 480)
is hosted on my Blip.tv space where you can also watch it in a flash format.
Eric Sandmeyer has gratiously allowed me to attach his "Idaho Song" sound file to this movie.

We (Mountain Visions) have also published a series of full screen 360 degree interactive panorama views from many places in the Owyhee Canyonlands.

In the Google Earth browser we have produced a KMZ file that will let you fly around the Owyhee Canyonlands area and see these full screen panoramas in the geographic location where they were photographed. I can't find how to load this file onto this page for people to download. However, I have posted two Owyhee Canyonlands KMZ files on the River Menders Wiki Google Earth page. You can download them there.

Another Source of information and panoramas taken in 1997 at the 45 Ranch can be found on the Aurora Project section of our web site.

I have uploaded this video to You Tube to determine the quality compared to Google Video and BlipTv. I have uploaded videos to YouTube and Google Video in the past, but have not been satisfied with the play back quality.

This is the YouTube address for my videos. (This is the only one, for now)
