Hi Job.

In my opinion, that works really well. I like the part about the camera which becomes a little "story-in-the story". John's photo of the derelict building is almost poetic (and really well modelled!).

Using the figures across the dioramas will tie the dioramas together, so that for us - the viewers - everything will seem like part of the same town. Which supports your basic ideas behind Northall very well.

I visited the gallery section also. From a presentation perspective, it's a pity that the navigation from image to image breaks the "flow" of the story a little. A blending-over feature as in a slideshow/powerpoint presentation would be ideal. However, the letters remain clearly readable, they don't distort which is important.

I've done a few experiments also over christmas, but gave up as the addition of text meant that photos were scaled down to fit the screen, which made them smaller. However your solution seems to work.

Looking forward to seeing more of this!
