so you really want your company to revolve around a fruit? I'm sure it would stand out, I havent forgotten the 3 samples you posted for us to critic. Automobile companies like BMW and Audi wouldnt put a grandma behind the wheel for a commercial........making the image of your company contradicting is just that. When you show the public who you are theres no grey boundaries. Someone made a good point.

Mystery links like that work better in sorts of movie sites and more 'artsy' pieces, where it makes the whole thing seem more non-conformist. But on a portfolio site, I prefer things to be clear and to the point. Its all pretty subjective, but I think it's important to think about whether you are sacrificing useability for being different.

This I can agree upon.

Not to disagree but, I'd put a Grandma behind the wheel of a hot car. It would keep me looking at the car and how it keeps even my Grandma young. If it were some young hot women I'd remember her and not the car. I think there are issues with this site and it's usability but, the dog video is damn cool. I'm trying to figure out how I could use something like that for my site.

here is more proof.. http://www.teamone-usa.com/ go to the advertisement the boost mobile commercial...I KNOW i will allways remember that

Now that's cool! Takes forever to load on dialup though.

always nice to get positive comments.

thanks.

not gonna plug my site any more, hopefully you should be seeing a lot more of the new version around these parts shortly.


ok.....back on topic

ok this is the deal, post some of your work somewhere (instead of just telling the rest of us who have put up stuff that we are crap, or lame), let us get a refrence for your opinion and lets go from there..easy to stir up the pot with crazy ass opinions..another to back em up. how do I know the answer is going to be that you don't have anything up yet...
and if you want some more of mine please feel free (believe me I know this isn't on the level of most of the stuff out there including the site in question in this thread, but I do do work even if according to you the truth is that I am not that good)... http://www.klickstudio.com

Are you two still arguing? If you want to argue about some lame site do it in my thread about my lame site. I could use any feed back. Feel free to flame away in there!

you wouldn't need to green screen this in my opinion, as it is a simple white website you could shoot this on a white backdrop with the backdrop strongly lit to blast it out completely white, then for the floor you could have a sheet of acrylic, this is how you could achieve the reflection of the dog, I do similar kind of photography here http://nevilslade.net-model.com (when I'm not doing theory7!)

Soemone asked about green screening, its not difficult, film your subject against a background that you know your subjct wont have as a part of ther colour, so usually blue or geen, you could even just use a wall in your house, pint it green, then in adobe premiere or whatever video app you are using you select the green or blue to be removed and thats it. Not expensive, you could even do it with a decent enough webcam and a painted wall, fine for small web work. Or splash out on a cheap camcorder. Different if you want to do it for tv of course.
The site, well its a bit misleading, the theme has been taken too far so its not totally clear what the site is about, but the dog is just great, you can't not love it :)

yea, I bet you do!! lol

so I not to long ago learned about flv's (how could you not hear about them the way macromedia's been pitching them lately) is this reletively new? it's the only way I've found to seamlesly integrate video like is done in the dog site. Do you guys think that's what they are useing, or is there another way other than flash video?

i only have flash mx...is there a way to seamlessly include video without upgrading

I'm an idiot, I just noticed you can export from after effects as an swf, which will work for mtpgoat (assuming you can export as an swf from what ever video editor you are useing). I'm shure there are advantages to useing an flv, I'll have to look into it.

what I am talking about doing is similar to vodaphone which is talked about in the following tutorial
http://www.communitymx.com/content/a...ge=1&cid=A9A59

I am creating something similar to the and robbie williams think...but I fear I will need to upgrade

flv's are only in mx 2004 pro, so to do exactaly what that tut says, yes you will have to upgrade.

i thought so...oh well

you can use FLV files in flash mx, what is MX2004 only are the macromedia video components.

confused...how would I call in flv to stream it in mx

If you search and read in the FLASH VIDEO forum.

You will become more familar with the FLASH VIDEO stuff..

I know 0% about it as well...(and probably should be taking my own advice)..LOL

this may give you some basic video info:
