Interactive Videos

Now that the internet is so widely available, interactive websites and media are at an all time high. Documents, pictures, videos, diaries, and pretty much anything can be shared which makes for a new level of interactivity. Meetings can be held in virtual space where individuals from different corners of the globe are controlling avatars that represent that person. One thing I find interesting is the interactivity in online videos, namely video challenges. Here is a video challenge from a series put on by Loaded Longboards, where you can tape yourself doing the tricks provided by the hosts, and submit them for discounts and potentially free stuff from the company. This gives anyone (with a video camera) the opportunity to document their trick and not only get sweet prizes but recognition both as a skater and a videographer. Check it out.

This isnt the only thing like this either, there are thousands of these contests going on right now. Check out Loadeds website for more interactivity.
