The objective is to create short documentaries about quirky places to travel.
Telling stories online is exciting and challenging because of all the tools at our disposal. Documentarians must think on multiple levels at once: words, ideas, story structure, design, interactives, audio, video, photos, judgment.
TV is about showing the news. Print is more about telling and explaining. Online is about showing, telling, demonstrating and interacting.
Rather than creating one 40 minute show I am splitting the segments up so that the content is richer than a typical travel show. It is a cross between documentary and travelogue focusing on peoples "stories".
The content would be online with the idea that when there are enough stories a broadcast version could be made.
