Not just a website but a media extravaganza which I discovered today when one of the Earth-Touch videos appeared on the TV channel I was watching in High Definition.  From there I discovered the website and it’s very impressive.  There are several wildlife videos available to watch online or to download and view on your computer, iPod or digital TV, for free (at this stage).  You have to join (for free) in order to be able to download and enjoy the videos but they must not be copied or used in blogs etc so I can’t embed one in this post to show you but trust me, they are very good.  They are all fairly short but perhaps could be all be copied onto a disk to watch.  When you join, there is also the option of rating and commenting on the videos.  There is also a blog and RSS Feed so that you can remain up-to-date with the latest videos.

Earth-Touch is both a company and a concept. We aim to film quality wildlife footage in High Definition from the most spectacular locations around the world, and to bring it to you, our users, within a few days or less of it being filmed. Our footage can be accessed on the Web through our main site and our blog, and can be seen on TV, through our global partnerships with broadcasters. We want to show people the truth and beauty of nature, and in doing so, to inspire them to looking after the precious yet dwindling natural resources our planet has.

“Amaridian” is the symbolic combination of two words - the Zulu word “Amadlozi” meaning ‘ancestral spirits’ and the word “meridian” the imaginary lines that traverse the globe. The vision of South Africans Mary Slack and Fraser Conlon designing to bridge a new idea of Africa with America through the arts. The concept manifested itself in a contemporary space in which the creations of the sub-Sahara can be exposed and illuminated.

The gallery is a new African world that is both pure and authentic providing a platform from which emerging artists can present their work. It is Amaridian’s goal to allow different ideologies, concepts and expressions to maintain their identity without conforming to a norm or conventional standard.

Introducing the age of Amaridian, a new African era. Experience it ….

These are some of the artworks from this fantastic site:
