My Website

Today I have been working on my website. I managed to get my video and galley page working today and did some alterations the story page. I imported the SALT movie trailor to my video page and added a firey background to make the page more interesting. I also added a scrolling picture gallery to my website with some help from Matt Bush who was doing a tutorial. The website is nearly complete but I will spend the next lesson on adding a link to Facebook and Twitter as well as making some small changes to improve the website.

Pokemon..

Website ScreenShots - Constructive Criticism Please



Flash Site

Today I worked on the "Cast and Filmmakers" page on my website. The characters names were listed down 2 coloums on the left and right side of the page with the image in the centre. When the mouse hoveres over the names the image would fade in slowely in the centre. Now that I have that page working, I am going to concentrate on getting the gallery page to work. I want to include a scrolling picture gallery into my website which I will work on next week.

Website for Jules

I have been working on Flash or last week or so and managed to get the basic structure of my website working. I have alsop added an after effects composition for thr title 'Salt'. This composition is a light ray will be continuously going from the left to right. I have also added some effects to the images. The images I used were fairly dull and I wanted them to get brighter if the mouse hovered over them so I did that and think it looks a lot better. Next time I'm on Flash I want to see if I can get a scrolling Picture Gallery working. I think I am going to look at some tutorials and find the easiest way to do it. To conclude, I think the website is going fairly well but I'm finding it tough and slow going on Flash. I find that If I get a problem then it holds me back alot. Surprisinly, I am starting to remember and pick up things on Flash which is helping me find a problem a lot quicker than I used to. :)

Flash games

http://www.flashgames247.com/play/25.html

I started off by playing a simple flash game called Snakes. The aim of the game was very simple but it required a fair bit of time to 'level up'. Before I started playing the game I didn't think it would be very addictive as the game didn't require me to do much. Although I thought I would be getting bored of the game within a few minutes I found myself playing the game over and over again. I found playing the game very frustrating as it took so long to actually get anywhere without being sent back to the beginning again.
