+1.
It was indeed the idea that if members of the XG would contribute anything, it would be rather the storyboard.

By the way I do find the new ideas interesting--I seem to remember Europeana had a video like that done once, where connections were being made between various unexpected objects--but would that be as easy for the kids&instructors from that school Tom had contact with? Hmm, seems we need a productor to synch all that ;-)
