Hasn't been proof read yet but feedback is greatly appreciated. There's a lot on there and in particular what do you think of the cartoon on my about me page? Commercial suicide?
Kirstin... it absolutely rocks from top to bottom. I love the about me cartoon. Runs real smooth. The only thing I would experiment a bit with is the background music. Don't know if it quite fits and this is coming from a Herbie Hancock fan. Your surf shots are simply awesome. The virtual 360 studio runs a little slow, but it's still very good.
Anyway... the site did exactly for me what you want it to do for others... draw them in and learn more about you and your work.
Kirstin - Paul beat me to it. I really enjoyed tooling around your site, and the cartoon was a lot of fun while showing what it is you do! Yeah, Hancock's Rockit got a little monotonous, but not enough to where it ruined the experience.
The stylized surf images were very well done and the entire site was presented in a manner that made me want to keep clicking and exploring. As Paul said, this is precisely what you want your online presence to do.
I'm back... I can't help playing the cartoon over and over again. So cool. I just put it on SS.com for all to enjoy too. Hope you don't mind. One thing I might suggest now having done it a couple of times. Put this line...
"I get asked what kind of photos I take all the time so I commissioned this cartoon. It's silly, but I know I'll get away with it" right into the movie itself as the opening titling before the movie starts because a viewer first opening up the movie will be distracted between the movie itself and the caption below it. Start with the caption in the flick, fade to black, and then fire up the movie. At the end, split the last frame between Kirstin Prisk and on the other half put the Blah and Bio. Just let the movie be the movie with nothing other on the page to distract from it. That thing needs a place of its own... it's that good.
Great, there is just so much to this site. Ive killed about 15 mins already and I have only scratched the surface.
What housing and camera do you use for water shots?
I too really love the cartoon. the Wedding link doesn't work for me just so you know. Not sure if that part is supposed to be functioning.
I agree with Paul that caption kinda took away a little bit from the cartoon. Can you launch it in a new window? I love the fact that the pictures are in the cartoon are the ones in the camera when you zoom in. Really nice
