Thoughts about initial sketches

I am concerned that the intro could be a bit too long. It entails the band falling to the bottom of the web page and other items eg links menu, logo, photograph etc falling and the band members catching them and putting them in the correct place. I could offer a 'Skip Intro' button so the load can be faster for future visits, but then what about the rest of the site? I don't want to create something so immense that I can't get it done in time!

Another option is to have the band fall down to the ground, then everything else falling quickly and they have to duck so they don't get hit. That could be quite quirky. Then when something is clicked, one of the band could move the objects around the screen. Actually yes I like this! This means not too much at the beginning so I probably wouldn't need a 'Skip Intro' button after all.

Finally a friend of mine has offered to video the band (with a webcam) and edit it for us so we can put a semi decent video onto the site. The sound won't be very good but it will be better than the current clip of their first gig which was muffled and hard to hear Bethany sing.
