Filmed with Camera Stabilization Equipment, the television camera is constantly moving you forward through beautiful scenery, through a narrow alleyway in Venice, up over an ancient footbridge in London, down a stone path in Amalfi, into a colorful piazza in Rome - you never know what delights await you around the next corner!
Place one of our treadmill virtual walks into your DVD player and step on to your treadmill, Nordic Track, exercise bike, elliptical, or stair stepper.
To your left is a canal in Venice, to your right is St. Mark's Square, and straight ahead is a thousand years of history and art! Our Treadmill Virtual Walk DVDs are the perfect way to experience some of the most beautiful cities in Europe while exercising, losing weight, and getting fit on your treadmill, airdyne, elliptical, or stair stepper.

The camera pulls you forward past amazing scenery: over the Rialto bridge, down a narrow street, and through a wisteria-adorned piazza.
You'll walk along the Via Veneto in Rome, follow a narrowboat path in London's Little Venice, explore the English Countryside in Kent, or take a stroll at dusk on the island of Murano. These Virtual Walk DVDs are the perfect way to get your workout for the day while having fun!

VITA Digital Productions was established with one idea in mind: to produce high-quality virtual experience European Travel Scenery DVDs. Our original concept was to film Virtual Walks through some of Europe's most beautiful cities. Using camera stabilization equipment, we are able to film these virtual walks while actually walking through streets, up steps, around corners, while the camera seems to float. Our Virtual Walk DVDs are designed to be watched by people while exercising on their treadmill, Nordic Track, TreadClimber, Elliptical Trainer, Stepper, Stair Climber, or stationary exercise bike. Our hope was to make the time spent exercising fun and interesting by viewing our Treadmill Virtual Walks while getting a good cardio workout.
We believed that these Virtual Walk DVDs could motivate people to utilize their exercise equipment more frequently by providing them with interesting video and audio to view while exercising. But you never know if an idea that sounds reasonable to you will actually be accepted by others - you just have to hope it will. With that in mind, we proceeded to file the articles of incorporation with our state and we also started investigating what professional tv equipment to purchase for our new company.
With my 25 year background in television and with our newly purchased professional equipment, we flew to Venice for our first shoot. We shot Treadmill Virtual Walks through the crowded streets and alleyways of Venice, and on the nearby islands of Burano, Murano, and Torcello. We had chosen Venice to be our first project because of our love of the city and its unique locale. Our trip to Venice did not disappoint us - it is truly a magic city. Leaving Venice exhausted after 10 days of shooting, we flew home and rested.
A month later we flew to London to shoot for 2 weeks. We had the singular opportunity to film the Queen's arrival at Royal Ascot. And we did film more Virtual Walks in and around London, including delighful walks in Hyde Park, along the waterway known as Little Venice, the New River Walk in Islington, and a walk on the Hampstead Heath.
Leaving London exhausted, we flew directly to Rome and fourteen more days of work! But we were in incredible Rome - the eternal city. We quickly discovered that Rome is an extremely difficult city for a videographer. Crowds and other problems make videography a challenge. We were able to shoot virtual walks along the famous Via Veneto, made famous by "La Dolce Vita," another walk through the Campo de Fiori, another along the Tiber River, and still another through the beautiful Pincio Gardens of Rome. Taking a bus to the outskirts of the city one day, we shot a virtual walk on the ancient Via Appia.
September 11, 2001, affected us deeply on many levels. We temporarily suspended international travel - our camera stabilization equipment, batteries, and other tv equipment were just too unusual for the heightened security which was in place. So for a few years, our focus was on other aspects of television production. I was asked to film the "Behind the Scenes" and cast interviews featurettes for two motion pictures along with other tv projects.
In 2003, we returned to the United Kingdom to film more virtual walks. This time we filmed virtual walks in the English Countryside: a walk from Eynsford to the village of Shoreham, following the Darent River in Kent. We also filmed a circular walk from the village of Otford through some beautiful scenery and back to our starting point. Along the way, we met some lovely people and had a nice chat. We traveled to Salisbury to film a virtual walk in the area around the Cathedral. In Salisbury we had the opportunity to see one of the surviving copies of the Magna Carta. We also went to Canterbury Cathedral where we filmed a virtual walk and attended "Evensong."
I finally found time to edit our first virtual walk, "A Morning in Venice," and get it on the market. We were amazed at the positive reaction it received. Customers said: "Why hasn't someone thought of this before?" and "It's just like being there!" and "I want more." We were very gratified with the reaction to our initial concept. We quickly followed with virtual walks in the English Countryside, Rome, along the Appian Way, London Waterways, and Burano. Since then, we've received hundreds of emails from our Treadmill Virtual Walk customers telling us how much they enjoy exercising on their treadmills and exercise bikes with our Virtual Walk DVDs.
In 2005, we returned from three weeks filming more Treadmill Virtual Walks along the beautiful Amalfi Coast, on the isle of Capri, in the ancient city of Pompeii, and in the medieval town of Viterbo, north of Rome, this time shooting in High Definition ( 1080i ) and widescreen.
In 2006, we returned from two weeks filming more Treadmill Virtual Walks on the Hawaiian Islands of Oahu and Kauai. While on Oahu, we filmed a virtual walk on the famous Hau'ula Loop Trail, another along several beaches, and another walk through the beautiful Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens in Kaneohe.
In 2006, we returned to Europe to film for three weeks. We filmed Treadmill Walks for a week in the picturesque Cotswolds in England. The villages we visited included Chipping Campden, Broadway, Stanton, Stanway, Upper Slaughter, Lower Slaughter, Blockley, Lacock, Tetbury, Snowshill, Morton-on-Marsh, Bourton-on-the-Water, Bibury, and the enchanting Castle Combe, used as the "Wall Village" in the new motion picure, "Stardust." Then on to Paris via the Eurostar and the Chunnel where we filmed for another week. We filmed the first of a new series of DVDs titled, "Scenes of Paris." Leaving Paris, we returned to London via Eurostar where we filmed for a third week. We arrived back home exhausted after three weeks of filming.
Since then there have been more shooting trips: to Maine, Florida, California, Egypt, Ireland, and Scotland, along with the introduction of a new series of Virtual Experience DVDs designed for Joggers and Bicyclists.
I have not discussed the expense, frustrations, and back-breaking work involved in filming these Virtual Experience DVDs in various locations around the world, but they exist. And, as air travel becomes more taxing, and security concerns more stringent, new problems continue to mount. But we are committed to aggressively expanding our Virtual Experience DVD catalog and will do whatever it takes to continue to film them, not only in Europe, but all over the world. Besides, our customers love these DVDs and ask for more!
We have more shooting trips planned for the future. Stay tuned - new DVDs are constantly being released!
