My first thought is to make the slide a portrait size (suggestion 1024 high by 768 wide), set the player background and slide background the same with no border and then use a scrolling panel.
I don't know that this is a perfect solution. Can you not use RISE instead?
I'd be leaning towards Rise if possible too. Is there a specific reason why you'd have to stick with Storyline?
If anyone is viewing your deep-scrolling Storyline course on a tablet/mobile device, you might have an issue whereby your scroll bar doesn't display in an obvious way.
Becky: Just something to keep in mind: in your scroll panel you can add most things you would add to the normal real estate on a slide -- characters, images, shapes, and so on. I think sometimes people forget that.
As Daniel suggested, a scrolling panel is probably the best option. Depending on your content you could also use custom sliders, as in this example of a page that`s more than 10 000 px high.
Actually, what looks like one long page is made up of several sliders, which are all controlled by the same variable. See this blog post here for some info about the setup.

Niiiiiiiice, Michael. btw, how did you get that motion in the scuba guy?
gif? or ?
Michael, this looks really smart. I love the idea of using the custom slider like this.
That was a .gif animation. I just added a looped 'scribble' form motion path for some more random-looking movement.
