Your navigation is so obtuse that I couldn't find the short
films. Did you design this thing for broadband. I am on dialup, and the intro never seemed to end so I finally skipped it.

you gotta be a rocket scientist to navigate your site! I'm outa here!

[cartoondoom]

you know what? i actually tracked down your movie and i thought it was excellent. It's a shame that a lot of people are not going to see it because your site is just impossible.

you have a lot of talent, but you really need to reconsider your web design.

Jesus, invest in a web usability book. That's just horrible.

Allright, he's gotten grief about the site navigation before, and that's really a Flash site check issue.

Perhaps a direct link to the films, caliman?

hi
i don´t understand your problems...realy
hey what´s wrong with my navigation?
i know it is not jakob nielsen style and i know that my site and also the navigation is a bit slow when you have a slow computer...but on the other side it´s pretty different and nice when you understand it...you don´t have to be a rocket scientist to do that...i asked myself how people like you can manage their computer ;-) ... by the way windows is much more complicated...
but neverless

it's not that your design is way too complicated. the problem is that people are gonna be turned off to your site if they can not figure it out in the first 5 seconds. What's more is that I have a decent, mid range computer (Powermac G3 350, 704 Ram) and the site was dreadfully slow. It hardly made me want to spend the time to understand your site.

but, since this is an animation lounge, i think it's more appropriate to comment on your films which I think are very good. some of it is a little too off beat for me (It reminded me of an old saturday night live skit called "sprockets), But some of it was great. I particularily liked "davor.avi". It was dark and depressing (which i like) and it also had an understandable story. If people are only going to download one of your movies I think they should get that one.

I think you should perhaps make a simpler site for the people who Just want to see your work. I think the content is much more important then the presentation, and i think your content is great.
