My Noordhoek Project
It’s a while since I wanted to do some form of a portrait capturing the special spirit and vibrations of the unique place I have the privilege to live in: Noordhoek, 30 km from Cape Town city center, right at the tip of South Africa… and as we are developing brand-new avenues in Ycademy as concerns web design including flash, let me get to it right NOW before it’s gone, over and forgotten … and let’s give it a simple working title: “My Noordhoek Project”.
It’s a project in Evolution in many ways as you will see. . . and as I photographed the other day… nomen est omen!
A project is something that is in development although clearly defined and with a clear focus, something that creates substance for a basic platform… from where it evolves… gathers momentum, complexity and a wealth of new and exciting content during the process. Ideally, it becomes an avalanche of possibilities, creative influences and ideas all woven into the fabric of the basic theme.
My Noordhoek Project
So what will “My Noordhoek Project” be about?
Having worked on the Internet for over a decade – initially to write, adapt, change and discuss my screenplays and scripts for documentaries, industrial films and the movie industry for the overseas market … and then as a very involved Co-Founder of successful online enterprises and educational programs (eg. Ycademy) initiated by Internet wizzard Yorgo Nestoridis – , I am looking forward to tackle a completely new as well as independent project where I can showcase and capture what I consider unique, too precious not to be shared or ultimately lost as our profit-oriented and fast-moving modern way of life is taking over what is ‘natural’, what is ‘organic’, what is ‘real’ without masquerade, original, interconnected, extremely humane, funny, bizarre and thus… vulnerable.
Besides the new and flashy Semiomantics Evolution theme crafted by Yorgo Nestoridis, I will be using predominantly my own visual material in form of digital photography, powerpoint-based slides converted into movies plus music, sound and my voice as a narrator. . . and what those I include and present can provide me with to choose from for the benefit of the whole and with absolute freedom.
I imagine this website or blog as a visual feast dedicated to the inner circle – meaning the Noordhoek Community itself – as well as the outer circle, meaning people from outside who are visiting Noordhoek, perhaps for the first time, possibly from overseas… especially if they are being attracted to this magic place through “MyNoordhoek” the blog on Google Top 10.
So the first thing I have to ask myself is: what does my target audience – in other words the inner as well as the outer circle – expect? What gets their attention? What do they enjoy, love. . .?
This will be the material for my next article; stay tuned!
Web Design Consulting
As you follow the website development of “MyNoordhoek Project” it may inspire and motivate you to start your own project at some stage.
If this is the case, please get in touch with me via Web Design Consulting to discuss your requirements and start the planning – as it all happens in the head first…
The script is not available at this stage but in pioneering mode. What is garanteed though is a smashingly media-oriented and dynamic website that will capture peoples’ attention.
For the moment it’s ‘work in progress’ or rather ‘work in evolution’- the first elaboration will take place at our monthly Ycademy Seminar on 27 and 28 March 2010.
