    Hey Freak....good secondary site....Really dig it.

    One question, is your easing done by AS or two sets of tweens?

    Oi... The minimalistic (is that even a word?? hehe) site is great. Good music, smooth navigation and to the point. Good Show!

    Okay, so I love this site. Both versions. They both serve their purposes.

    More importantly, the music. I have one question: you have all the "loops" identified as whether their yours or not...but I didn't see if the music BEFORE the intro was yours.

    All the music is amazing, and if the intro is yours too...I bow down to you. That music just blew me away, and if you composed that on your own, electronically, I am speechless.

    Im loving it, both versions!!!

    The music is some of the most appropriate ive seen on any website.

    I like the intro and don’t think it is to long. This site is a portfolio site so is meant to show off his skill. there isn’t much content you can really put in a portfolio website anyway.

    His other websites that are listed in the portfolio section show off his ability to integrate eye candy with content and i think he does that quite successfully.

    an awesome website, and for someone still in school lots of potential. Good luck to you m8!!!

    mr. freak,

    I do think there is some gratuitous use of animation and motion in your site, and there are probablly more effective ways to present your content.

    However, I recognize you are primarily showcasing your skills and talents.

    With that in mind, It is evident you have command of Flash as a medium, and that does come across in both versions of your site.

    I could see you taking a client's vision and goals and bringing them to life, at 60 fps of course!

    You would probablly do well in motion design, even beyond the web.

    I am impressed with your response to criticism above all, which shows another skill. Problem solving. Your attitude will help you to steadily improve and take you very far.

    Nice work.

    Again, a bit too much. I know it's called "Wiz Bang" but sheesh ... I almost got a seizure.

    Very few designers seem to be able to balance animation with practicality. They either want hardly any or want WAY too much.

    There's a happy medium, I think the "minimal" version does it. The other one ... too much.

    what is your secret to the fast motion? Do you use a really high frame rate or a set interval?

    I've heard people say that 80 and 120 are acceptable framerates for flash animation. Few comps can refresh that fast plus flash itself isnt that fast. So is 60 a bit more common or just a requirement for that type of motion?

    jAQUAN,

    Have you seen the video clips of the next generation Flash Player Demo in Tokyo?

    mr. freak will be able to flash even faster(!).

    WHOALLY ****E! My evites are gonna rock!
    Still it doesnt help suggest a good rule of thumb framerate. I use between 24 and 30 for now because I have to sinc with video and manual animations which are a ***** when you are working with a high frame rate.

    I saw that video a few weeks ago... and I basically crapped my pants. Flash 8 can't come soon enough.

    I think I'll stick to 60 fps, but there'll just be BIGGER stuff happening. I'm so happy that Macromedia is finally fixing up the Flash player, especially the Mac version. Both players are rather broken right now, at least from an animator's perspective :/
    Be Happy.

    Hey Mr. Freak?

    how are you doing the majority of those text animations in your intro?

    are they simply various masks in Flash or did you use a third party app and import the effects into flash?

    They're all custom tweens in Flash. No third party stuff involved.
