Web Story Ideas

Below are 2 example of ideas using tools that are only appropriate for the web. One idea is to use sound waves as the visual but created using text that tells the story.

The other is looking at textures. Not sure where this can go but textures on a farm are beautiful.

I'm also thinking of promotional materials although I'm not doing it for this phase. Postcards are an obvious choice. Maybe a viewmaster with photos of the places.

I also realized how important the 3 minute pitch is and I ramble too much. I need to figure out how to talk to people about the project in LESS than 3 minutes, I do believe that people tune out after the first minute. I also need to write a one page tear sheet explaining the project. People I am asking to do stories with want to know what the jist of the project is about and why and I need to give them a compelling reason to agree to working with me.

I'm also thinking of pitching some written story ideas to some travel magazines since I'm doing the stories anyway. If it is published in December it would be a nice starting place for the launch of the website.
