Motiongerm Collectives

Hey guys,

www.motiongerm.com

I know it might not be what everyone was expecting, but I have to say that I myself am quite proud of it, minus a few details that i hate to the core. That aside, I haven';t had time to do the contact form/section and i didn't want to hold the update any longer.

So its there. Like it, hate it, "ts'all good mate ;)"

[simplistik]

Well, I like it. It's empty ATM but I still think it looks pretty good. I'm not a fan of the background pattern, but I think the simplicity and openness of the site is nice. I do think that the section colors should possible fade into the next color though :D

EDIT: Ah... maybe it's not as bare as I thought... I don't think your feed or something is piping through the stupid firewall I'm behind... BAH! I get an activity error that says your SWFs are missing.

I agree with Simp on the fade of the section colors, that would be much better than the adbrupt change of color. Also If you could ease up on the darkness over the text, or make the text a little whiter so it's a little more easily read that would be better IMO. It isn't all that much different from your other design per say. I mean it is, but the layout is somewhat similar. Either way, it's good stuff, that music is nice too, but the quality seems a bit not as good as it could be. Oh, and is there a stop button for the music? I couldn't find one, if there isn't I suggest gettin one. Hey great stuff all around though. Smooth animations and great colors. Nice effect in the start of the page when it's loading up. Kudos.

Edit: Nvm about the stop music button, I found it. ;)

very nice i cant wait to see the finish product!

[Sniper Jo]

i like it, but please change the quality of the music and put a stop button on !! its driving me insane !!!!

[RabBell]

yeah the musics kinda staticy, need to improve...try these guys

www.soundrangers.com

very cheap and high quality, looking for free music try www.flashkit.com

like the background image though the whole site seems a bit big. I have a pretty high resolution though scrolling each time to see the bottom of the page annoyed me, especially when it didn't seem theres going to be anything there (once you've added content I mean)

a stop button for the music, needed for sure

nice colours though, easy navagation, like I say I like the background (techy feel but not too techy)...good job so far :thumb:

Very nice, I really like how you've done it. Maybe tween the colour changes ?

And you're probably planning on doing this, but make the contact section load an external movieclip like all the rest will. Maybe a nice pink?

hey man

I was really looking forward to the release of the site, even after the "taking a bit longer than expected" message.

I have to say i am a touch disappointed. I could in no way create something even as good as the version but i feel that it really lacks the vibrance of your previous site. Your old site was such an awesome shade of blue, and compared to that this new version seems very washed out, maybe even a touch bland?

I also am not a fan of the "new colour for every section" style, i think it makes the site really lack consitancy.

BTW the extrenal swfs don't load in firefox, and i have tried 2 computers, 2 differnt connections.

I hope you don't thing this is too rude, and i am in no way a quality designer like yourself.

Andy.

i really liked the preloader/intro thing, but i don't dig the rest of it that much..
the preloader/intro kinda misled me i guess?

[simplistik]

Just for all u blind folks there is a mute button right underneath his navigation ;) and now that I'm on a PC i can see the content... YAY me!

[pbferrigan]

As it was said, the sound quality needs to be improved and a more pronounced play / stop button.

Nice color changes, when will the final be available?

Thank you,
Peter Ferrigan

[aveceva]

thanks guys.

1. Whoever keeps asking when it will be finished, it's done. Just needs a contact section. If you can't see the sections, that's a problem with firefox that i can't fix. I'm using the barest of scripts that i have used for all my sites, so i dont know why it doesnt work.

2. There is a music stop button.

3. If you all want the file size to jump from 888kb to 8mb, then sure i will up the music quality :D:D lol.

4. I would have put faders on the color change, but i didn't want to take up too much CPU power.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I guess that FF problem is really nagging at me now, cause quite a few people have complained about that. If someone has any idea why....

[aveceva]

re:

Fixed the firefox problem. It was something to do with the html parameters for the flash controller.

[pizzaguy234]

all is working in firefox now, well done man

[Theros]

Erm? Load the Music using XML maybe? :D

[jandebouwman]

Damn that this topic has lost..

It's a really special layout for a portfolio. The intro rocks, but on the main site, there are allmost no animations. And that's one of your strongest points.

Also, there is a bit of racism on the special people page. We know that you are not ***, but you don't have to tell about 7 times :sigh:

The sound button is a bit dark though.
