1348k for a INTRO??

I like the intro (maybe a little heavy at 1.2 megs) Looks a little like 2 Advanced. You're obviously good enough to kick your own style though...say no more.
Lose the spinning 3d logo at the end, I reckon it sort of cheapens the whole experience slightly. Surely the file could be compressed as well?
Should impress prospective clients, although I gaurantee half of them won't wait around to see it.
Don't get me wrong, these aren't negative comments, I like it a lot!

We haven't had to much success in the file compression area.... I think that is the only thing where we are lacking....
And how does this look like 2a.... It seems like anything lately that looks good is compared to 2a....
Our corporate website... due out by the end of this week..... doesnt smell of 2a at all except for information on our front page.... we liked how much information they were able to pack into the front page and enable users to get to fresh content quickly.... We have a bottom section as well that has the same information..... other than that our site is too juicy... a bit heavy on the download...1.5mb for the whole site.... but we are working on it.....
your email address doesnt work by the way....

Looks and works great, but all I would say is........ its nothing particualry new, with the tiny text, bleeping and swooshing. Im sorry I just prefer minimal sites with no intros, I dont see the point in them!!!
- clique0
yeah agreed. I always skip intros myself. Its ok as a holding thing but when you get the site finished I'd ditch it.

the intro won't even play unless you select it once we get the site up... we have been waiting for them to get their acts together...The intro will be inside the site and selectable from a menu as a promo...or they can send it out on CDRom....
Client wanted flashy....we gave them flashy... Clients in this market don't want to spend anything too extravagant for the 3d the custom ascript.....yadda yadda....anything new is out .....
So when everyone says nothing new I would like to clarify and say that sometimes it isnt up to the designer and that we have to do what the clients want and within budget.
So minus the fact that Nielsen says intros should die and that it is "nothing new" to us designers...... how do you think other clients will perceive us and how will they perceive our client?

liquid, its only my personal opinion. I understand what clients are like, some can be right cunts, its them that can make me hate my job!
- liquid0
I wasn't taking offense...I just know that sometimes people on this board say some stuff that they ought to know is out of most designers control.... Like the 3d logo..... they wanted that and we wanted something else....at the moment though.... I am up for suggestions
I think I should have clarified and said that we built the site for this client instead of looking like we built the site for ourselves...
What did clique mean by "grey slanty slidey animation png bits " Are you talking about the things that fade in around the text....?? I didnt understand about the compression comment...
We just faded them out...opacity 30 or something.....

During the day NT® is my way of escaping work. So when I give my opinion on work its my OWN opinion. I never consider if its fulfilled the brief or what input the client has had. I get sick of havng to talk bollox at work so Im not gonna start here. I generally go on first appearance, i cant be arsed looking for concepts and shit like that, Im doing that crap all day!!
- liquid0
ok...not a prob...... just want to know one damn thing.....
WHAT THE HELL DOES ARSED MEAN???????
- clique0
Hi liquid, yeah no offence man. You asked for opinions. And we didn't know how you were goning to be using the intro. But I do know how clients can water things down and have their own crappy ideas about things! The grey slanty thing I mean is the 45 degree angled shape that is used in your intro with the CK sound logo on it. Its just that the logo looks to have too much compression with artifacts around it. No big deal tho.
