Imagery progress

Hi Group,

Ok, here are three new images.

The photomontage landscape is a screen cap of the flash intro with each of the letters hopping in and shooting each other until there is only Baghdad left. Some of the landscape is from Mars, an exaggeration of the reddish color of Irag from Google map.

Then there is the Iraq/WV map with a star that leads into the main map with the checkpoints to interact with. So far I've only just placed the coliseum and the a stadium (as seen in the intro).

We have little toy soldiers and Selin is taking pictures of them at a few places around town. So in the foreground will be a tiny little toy soldier figure with the landmark/checkpoint in the background. I think the CAC, the Coliseum, the Mountainlair and the Stadium (if she can get there) are 4 definite points we'd like to have labeled as checkpoints on the map/gameboard. Then those places can become any type of checkpoint you'd like to write about.

Do you guys have your hearts set on filming a video? I liked the security checkpoint footage you posted, but I don't know if I'll have time to incorporate that into our map.

Let's plan for 5 points all together, and you all can just post or email me the text for each checkpoint, whether that be a story, report, event, or personal anecdote for that spot.

If you'd like there to be a main character and/or hero in this story, we might be able to use Selin's scan of her green card, passport, work visa, etc., as ID for a solider, photojournalist, or whoever.

Can I just stop by your classroom in Colson this coming Tuesday at the beginning of your class to show you what I have in flash and Selin's imagery?

Thanks everyone,
Marcie
