Phone-first and TV-ready

Take the real photos. Make the short clips. Leave room for the wide-screen story.

Most people will meet this on a mobile phone, while the same story also needs to hold up on TVs, ferry screens, community screens and grant presentation displays.

Concept art of a phone tripod, microphone, storyboard cards and a wide screen for hyperlocal media planning.
One story can have a phone-first version and a wide-screen version, with consent and public safety built in.

Current visual layer

Use concept art until real local media is ready.

The existing concept images are useful placeholders, but the public site will become more believable when it has real permission-safe photos of 9 Ballow Road, co-working, local training, asset care, media practice and community activity.

Strange but True neon logo and creative support icons
Strange but True can remain the style reference and seed signal while the Ready S.E.T. Co-op identity matures.

Images to take or make

A practical shot list for the next capture day.

Each image needs a mobile crop, a wide crop and public-safe alt text. Identifiable people appear only with clear consent.

Place9 Ballow exterior

Front, side, approach from ferry, ramp/access, two tenancy entries, rear parking and bay-view context.

ArrivalFerry-side walk to 9 Ballow

Phone shots from the ferry-side arrival point to 9 Ballow Road, including street-level orientation and access context.

Co-workingPlain table, laptops and notebooks

A simple work session: forms, grant notes, business profiles, cups of tea, whiteboard and printed checklists.

TrustHandshake alternative

Hands around a table, shared checklist, signed permission note or labelled gear return. Avoid staged corporate handshake energy.

AssetsGear care board

Microphones, tripod, phone clamp, projector, charger box, sign-out card, return shelf and repair note.

Deep horizonMineral Moonshots threshold image

A tasteful abstract or generated image for the optional deep page, not the home hero.

Vertical videos

Short clips for phones, socials and QR codes.

Vertical clips stay plain, useful and warm. Each one invites the next small step rather than trying to explain the whole universe.

Visual roadmap from one person's service work to training, crews, co-op services and formal job families.

16:9 placeholderJobs roadmap

Use simple counters and real role examples.

Capture care

Useful footage is consent-aware footage.

Private screens, paperwork, addresses, children, cultural material, vulnerable people, expensive gear locations and informal conversations stay out of footage unless permission and purpose are crystal clear.

For grant evidence, it is often enough to show the room, materials, activity, output and public-facing result. Faces are not always necessary.

Two formats

Phone-first and screen-ready.

Every key story can have one vertical version for phones and one wide version for screens: the same message, framed for different places.
