Some really good work in there. I also like the video integration. Nice feel.

its amazes me when i see what people are coming out with these days. Not long ago a guy was putting fruits on his site, now we have animals?......whats next? www.junorsSteaks.com :rolleyes:

The navigation is off to the left and worst part about it theres no way of telling that its a button unless you mouse over it. I thought he had great logo pieces and a strong portfolio but why make the dog the center of attention? Not cool in my opinion

well done optimizing the video. he musta used every trick in the book. low rez (slightly pixelated), skip every other frame (it's a little sticky, 'export image sequence.'

it's just a design element much like the space pods on 2A or the pyromaniac on neostream.

I guess your right, but c'mon a pet as your theme? I Just think its lame.

Now we're reviewing Boula Burton which is a pop up flash site.

The concept is very cool, using video seamlessly with the page. That's always a cool effect because it's often unexpected and visually satisfying.

The navigation is where things fall down a bit. It's not too intuitive, but you can figure it out after a few seconds.

Someone made a comment about the pet thing being lame. I disagree. I think the branding of this group/company is extremely well done. It leaves an impression on the visitor by the way it was done.

So, I have to give Boula Burton a 7 out of 10. Could have been better though.

That video integration is super cool. Gonna have to figure that one out, loads faster than some of my image sites.

this may come of as stupid...but do you think that the dog part is streaming....is plays quick like....amplifier..and vodaphone. Just starting to do video work so I have no clue

Yeah it's streaming. If you enter the high bandwidth on a low bandwidth connection you can see the stream. The video is gone altogether if you enter the low site.

never touched video before....(probably wont for some time still)...but Im curious as the "white background"..and the "color" of the dog....

How was the transparent or white background achieved? Was this Pre-production? (liek with a white drop cloth?)..was this done in the video editing software? (what do you tink was used? Premeier? Or was this all FLASH video effects?

Also..the video itself looks a little "strange" to me...I mean the "shadows" on the dog..almost hade me thinking it was an extrmemely tight bitmap trace....

thanks

I would guess that it's green screen and then he removed the background. I'm only quessing because I don't know much about video and and green screens. I've done quit a bit of green screen in photography, not sure if it translates.

Fishouse has got such a distinctive style, and I absolutely love it. I even think they come in the top ten in my favourites list. This site just proves it.

Dude, i'm not bashing i just stated my opinion on a website, where its viewed by clients not a forum. I dont give a rat a$$ about my avatar or banner but i do care about how my site is going to be percieved.

I guess your one of the members that praises on work you dont have skills in. The site is LAME is my opinion, putting your pet on a green screen opening after effects and keying out the color to only make visitors wait inpatient to see a dog run around, whoopy imma go pray now.:rolleyes:
