2A preshow countdown
http://schavitz.net/
Actually i take my statement back, this v4 absolutely SUCKS, pointless little graphics everywhere, no real content, same old stuff but in dirty-ugly red color.
okay, i am going to reserve most of my judgement for when i can actually load more then just the index page... but.. why have text on top of those little dots? its such a bad idea:(
i hope the rest of the site is sweet, the transitions look nice, but i cant see anything eltse.

I believe that some of the members of Flashkit forums got more creativity
Guys with intermediate to advanced level of FLASH showed much much more then eric at
2d V4 prophecy.
well now since 2A failed at it i think its my turn now to make a mindblowing site with a red color scheme, im sure it can be done, just needs to be done right, so im gonna give myself a month to make a good red site!
LOL. :DQuote:
I saw the reel, the video is shaking from the begining, at first i thought it was on purpose but it isnt, and is pretty annoying, anybody getting that too??
I'd rather pay (and I have) $40 for incubus...Quote:

My point is, you usually have to pay much more that $24 to see him.
Yeah and i have for Roger Waters, hes saying thats the price, thats all, so whats the point there?Quote:

Anyways were dicussing 2a right?
please
Finally seen the site and boy, does that thing have plenty of bugs =/
1. Click on audio preferences, you can choose but the audio listing never comes back
2. Click on something and the music stops playing, I've clicked palyed and tried other songs and the animation for it playing was there but the music NEVER came back
3. The center with the CG, it looks VERY amatuer. There are jaggy lines up the wazoo and you can clearly tell the 2 background ships were placed there later on. Not very good work. Also, the jets on the little ship things look very poorly done like an animated gif with 2 frames and both are slightly different to give it movement. It just doesn't fit into the picture.
4. The waves are way to slow and when you look at them, it looks like someone got happy with the distort filter in photoshop.
I would rate the other areas but the server they are using is utter crap. They probably have a 10mbit deal from a place like the planet instead of having an actaul gigabyte limit which means it's output is very slow. That or they figured putting a mirror up wasn't a good idea.
When I clicked on another area, it appeared that there loading function doesn't work at all. I clicked experimental (music went off an wouldn't come back like I said before) and the loading screen shot to 100% but looking at my DUMeter program, only like 1kb was transfered during the time it showed it was laoded and then it just sat there flashing at me.
I do like the red but almost all people don't like reading alot of flash sites and there is just too much crap on there.
Version 3 was by far, superior in design and look. I give this version a 2 out of 5.
Just my $.02 cents.
I didn't like it. In my opinion, if they would have mixed their new 3D elements with the calmness and coolness of V3 then it would have blown me away.
Is it just me, or does this site lack the EJ style? I wonder if he even had a hand in this website... (considering he must have been really busy running an entire Design Firm and setting up that grand opening show... not much time for web design there).
I've read some posts concerning the relevance of the Demo Reel to the website itself. I'm not sure, but I think it may have something to do with the "engaging the future" idea... the guy in that little ship is ... well ... engaging the future ... lol, nevermind.
2A has always been my favorite, ever since I saw V2... which was actually the reason I got into flash (and found flashkit :) ). I remember that 2A was always revolved a sort of ambience. To me, V2 represented the words "futuristic birth" and V3 represtented "corporate heaven".... but V4 gives no inspiration.
I'm not saying that V4 was bad... its actually a great site... but every time i see Whos We, Fantasy Interfaces, Theory 7, and 2A(v3) I get the feeling of inspiration. When I see 2A v4, I get nothing. For that reason, I don't like it....
or I've lost my mojo.

I don't like the fact that I had to wait until 3am for this. I ended up just going to bed without looking at it cause the server was taking a crap.Quote:

I just was able to look at it today but there server is still taking an extreme crap.
I would like to see someone from 2A post here and talk about the bugs, like are they going to fix them? If I were them, I'd consider putting version 3 back up and just removing version 4 for a good while until they got it all sorted out.
im sure most of them are all hungover right about now...
Anybody?????? :confused:Quote:
