Are you sure you don't want to have a server crash? Don't you want to be in the same league as 2a and MT ? ;)

Simply amazing!
Albeit runs a tad slow on my P3 900, but graphically so so beautiful, so much to explore.
Exceeded all of my expectations - 10/10
If i had those flash skills you can crsh my server all day!!!!!!!!!:D
IM me about your speed issues i think i have a solution.
why do they all look so miserable?
The one on the right looks a bit like Kevin Spacey
Well at the moment I am sitting in my wanna be futuristic pagoda, thats guarded by my personal sky masked wanna be kungfu, jedi Knights, and I am sensing the force around me...Deep down inside its telling me that the Ewoks have defeated the newly raised "task force" and are now going too be here any minute to remove 2Advanced from the cool sites forum.
Man I stayed up this late for that! Put the old site back!
And man the colors stink.
Sorry for the negitism, but I expected alot more then this from 2A. :(
Best regards and no offence meant, just my opinion.

you will all soon get to see the demo reel...downloading as we speak...then i will upload to my server...don't all go to it at once...or else Terrific will get mad ;)
It took a few atempts but i got it to load and.......................it looks the same as the last one but red!
yeah see . .i got guys with baseball bats waiting for you
That photo is from the latest version of Computer Arts magazine (a great publication if I may add). Usually in photo shoots, the photographer sets them up a certain way.
Also, if you've seen many of Eric Jordan's photos, he's always got that look on his face, the CyberPunk Badass is what I call it. :)
The demo reel is awesome!
Can you not post this here.. There are many other threads already started that this would be more appropriate for.
well i dunno if there's any point in posting htis...as it seems the site works fine now..but oh well...
http://www.robertkwei.com/fk/ this is a demo reel link :)

thank you very much...i just used your server to download it.....very cool it is too
cheers rafiki55;)
I dont even think they are pushing the boundries that Hi-Res are. With the Donnie Darko interactive sites etc.
http://www.hi-res.net/
Nothing new at 2ad
.
your very welcome :) Just hope my host doesn't get mad...sorry Terrific :P
ahh...when i first posted server load was at 18.59 :O lol it's better now though
what? only 1 thank you out of 10 downloads ?? ...that's it... *file-->insert virus to .mov file* "ok" ;)
The new site is so fitting with the agency's image and brand. Simply outstanding work.
If people don't like this site it has got to be simply because it's not to their taste as there is no question about the skill, talent and sheer creativity the crew of 2A possess.
That demo reel is evidence that they are now ready to compete in the video market and it is an area which I reckon is a natural progression for them.
I've been waiting for this release for some time now and it hasn't disappointed.
As a community FK is very fortunate to have two of the 2A main men active on these boards, I just hope the flamers don't force them away.
Simply excellent.
Ian
Yes, I think we should all go to www.revo7.com - it's WICKED! :rolleyes:Quote:

lol cheers rafiki55 :D
I like the sound clip of intro.
hummm...the site looks great!!! but..I am thinking........hwo much you want to pay if they did it for ur site?
$$$???
Still can't access it. :( Glad someone posted some screens.
Just woke up 10.30 am here, catching up with the last 10 or so pages of this thread, what an anti-climax for the guys that counted it down hehe :D
Checked 2advanced a few minutes ago...took about 30 seconds to load up :)
I have to say I’m not very keen on this.
I am not to sure about the color scheme, but call that personal taste if you will. Also I'm not to keen on the heavy use of the diagonal lines.
The company has great skills, especially in animation and effects as we have all seen from previous sites. I just think that it has not been used properly on this 1. :(
I was expecting something really special with all the hype that it has been going around, but it think I prefer the old site to be honest, it was much more pleasing on my eyes. I won't go into to much more detial, because I learnt a while ago on this forum you can't speak bad about 2A without getting your head bitten off.
I know allot of you really like 2A and I'm sorry to talk negative, but that is just how I see it. I'm not bashing 2A's skills or anything, because their client work is nothing short of amazing.
I did however enjoy the demo real ;)
I'll be looking forward to see the reaction you all have to this site.
Ritchie :)
That's fine, I can TOTALLY see where you're coming from, I think the colour scheme was a bit of a gamble, but only certain colour schemes suit the futuristic style of the site. At the end of the day, they couldn't use the blue / grey theme of the old site, I kinda like the new one, it does work with the style of the site.Quote:

I don't think anyone can deny that that is one of the most impressive demo reels ever made by a web design company.
My only complaints are these:
On my Pentium 3 900 - 256 meg ram, 16 mb graphics card, it runs like a DOG.
On anything but broadband it's unusable - but then they're only really targeting high profile people now.
Small qualms but anyway.
Excellent! :) I like the site much with those effectz, textz, etc. 2advanced has done a great job. ;) I like thiz site than the prev one.
All good points. I can see where Richie T is coming from as there was a great deal of hype surrounding the release and I suppose people where expecting something more detached from v3, however I still feel its a good linear progression of the 2A brand.
It is processor intensive i agree but I think that 2A are looking to keep the site for 18 months like v3 so I suppose the base spec will catch up. Not everyone will agree that this is good design principles but like Olli said I think they're target audience with this site is the big boys and not your average pII.
Ian
Oh totally. Would be silly of them not to really - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!Quote:

Although, the majority of home users aren't going to have 4ghz P4's with 40000 meg of ram and 2 x 128 mb g/cards that permit the oh so smooth 60 fps that the site warrants.Quote:

i'm diggin it...i guess i expected too much though. 2 advanced office janitor has better skills than me. none of what i say is to slight them. but this is THE company and worthy of serious examination. i don't have anything critical to say about it. i like the color combo, complimentary. not as powerful as the dark blue/grey but it pops. the demo reel is slick but i prefer http://fluxen.com/ 'resolve'. The coolest thing about 2advanced is the attention to detail. every little angle has been thought and rethought. gradients resonate perfectly, perfect typography. gonna take a little time to soak it in. tight work...coulda been a little more daring though.
well first of all they really needed a fresh face for the site, for such a big company version3 was not that cuting edge anymore so i'm glad version 4 brings something new about visiting the site.
I love the colors, i won't lie to you, i was expecting something that would leave me with this look and i didn't but i guess is just that expectations were too high because if you see it from a normal point of view (without having in mind it's 2advanced) the site is really good.
in conclusion i was expecting better but i like the site.
Good points, I can see the reason behind going for people with half decent computers and connections, it makes sense to for a company like that.
I was expecting to come on this morning and find this thread reaching page 100 already, it's not going like the usual 2A thread. But that is a good thing I guess lol, nice to have a constructive conversation about them once in a while :)
Anyone else think that red and blue/green together would have been a little risky to use as main colours? Having said this I do think it panned out fairly well in the end.Quote:

OMG :eek:
my email has approx 290+ someone just posted a reply....
Why did I not see that coming!
Mod !! please close this thread. let's start anew
Page cannot be found :(
Anyone have any screens ?
There are a few knocking around in other threads, e.g. http://www.flashkit.com/board/showth...hreadid=472799
You may also want to try www.2advanced.org see if you have more sucess loading! :)
Okay ...
It's nice ... has some new goodies .. but still liked the V3. And why does it take 4 ever to load the other sections?
V3 was pretty fast.
But still .. nice job
oh yeah ... about the color scheme
First reaction : UH ?
But after a while : hmmm Like it ...
Now : aight ... nice nice nice ...
I would like to see ohw quicklythe pages load on dial-up. I'm on broadband, and the sections are taking forever to load.
http://www.2advanced.com/
I like! That is all I can say!!!!
I overslept the launch by 2 1/2 hrs. I predicted blood red or crimson at the beginning of that huge bloody thread. heheh
I think 2A is the mercedes of webdesign. These guys detail out everything.
I would love to see 2A let loose and let vectors fly. There work is always very compact and busy. But I guess that's what makes them 2A.
It's just that everyone recognizes their mastery of design, I would like to see them open it up a little.
It has nothing to do with your connection speed. It is taking forever cause everyone and their monkey is trying to view the site.
Why was the other 2A thread deleted, i must of missed something because where i left off it was going quite well for a 2A thread?
Oh well, My thoughts where in a deleted thread. I can't be assed to type my big message again right now, maybee later lol.
In a nutshell, I was not all that keen :)
