Stranger Than Fiction
As video streaming and broadband become more accessable websites can achieve much more than in previous years. A good example of this is the mini-site for the recent film Stranger Than Fiction.
The Flash site uses the concept of the film (a narrator telling the story of a supposedly fictional character) to enhance the experience of the audience. Video blogs are used as well to get an almost 'behind the scenes' look at the film.
One aspect of the website I really like is that as the intro to the site is loading you are introduced to the main character of the film (Harold) who acts as the loading bar. Also, as Harold loads the narrative voice from the film describes Harold's feelings (much like in the film) introducing sound to the site as well as strengthening the concept of the film.
