Storyboard for the introduction

All created in Flash, using my own images edited in Photoshop:

Black screen and a question in white: "Whom are you looking for?" - a question that I ask a potential employer visiting my site.

1. The image of me dressed as professional (formally: white shirt, black jacket, etc) on the left side of the screen and words relating to different attributes sliding from the right side of the screen: someone ambitious and professional, highly organized and motivated, reliable and well-fitting into your organization... etc.
   

Then, as that disappears, the image of me dressed as an artist appears on the right side of the screen and the words are sliding from the left: someone creative and spontaneous, flexible and imaginative, original and fresh-minded... etc.

The two above images could appear on the screen mixed and in short slots with a different text every time and maybe I could take slightly different pose to make it more dynamic.

Then, as another prompt shows up: "Both?", the two images merge in the middle of the screen and I (half formal, half artist) introduce myself. While I pronounce my name it appears on the screen along with phonetic pronunciation).

A picture of me, a close up on my face (no eye contact) with a half transparent mask in British flag's colours. Prompted answers: Someone highly qualified with the knowledge and the understanding of British media industry?

Using Bitmap tracing the British flag turns into a Polish flag. Different prompt appears: Someone with an international perspective and experience?

I present the key areas of my portfolio. The series of images taken at three-frames-per-second imitates the motion as I raise my arm to point towards the menu for journalism on the left, design and photography on the right appearing on the screen one by one. Maybe a colourful, half-transparent brash continuous to move at the background as everything else freeze.

While all the above plays out there are 'Skip' and 'Silent' buttons on the bottom of the screen which user could use to skip the presentation or turn off the sound.

Moving images idea!

At the beginning of september I went for a short trip to Brighton mainly in order to test my new digital SLR camera. I was just downloading the images taken that day onto my computer tonight and when I was viewing on as a slide show I came up with an excellent idea.

Using my new camera I can take up to three pictures per second. I could use this feature to create a series of images of me that when played one by one in flash, for example, would create an illusion of a video. I could combine it with different graphic elements on different layers in flash and make something like a movie, set in virtual space! I could record my voice welcoming a viewer on my online portfolio website and introduce the key issues my project intend to tauch.

I can imagine myself lifting my arm sideways to present to menu appearing on the side 'as a result' of the movement. It's difficult to describe in words how I see it at the moment, however, I strongly believe that such an original introduction to my website would add a real edge to the final product. It would be something nobody else thought of before: the unique combination of creativity and journalistic protectionism.... and, most importantly, an excellent form of self-promotion.
