This is one of the coolest flash sites I've ever seen - Read the book if you haven't yet!

It was some nice flash, a little to chaotic though.

All over the place... in a bad way

the intro was dope, but everything else is pretty amateur looking, i got frustrated and didnt even delv deeper into the site than the main page

i see what you are saying but in a way it was supposed to be like that - it's the premise of the movie

its a great site...my buddy mark did all the flash stuff over at warner online. i think its meant to be sort of erratic to capture the feeling of paranoia the film is centered around...rather than just click...content...click...content...etc.

wasnt my type of site although I can respect the work that went into it. I didnt even get the feeling it was a movie site. It was just a hectic site to me. I left pretty fast. But I do like the cell shading. Wonder what program they used to render the cell shading.

I like the site, but I have no idea what its about, if a film what film?

the cell shading was done using rotoshop - proprietary software that does auto rotoscoping and fills in the gaps between frames - making it vector

the movie is about the government watching you and disguising their actions by telling people who catch on that they are crazy - so it's weird to use from a standard usability perspective, but pretty tight atmospheric wise - they could have done a few things better perhaps though.

Damn that looks crazy, too bad they wont be selling it anytime soon. Cellshading with UnReal in LW is rather crappy. And Swift isnt much better. Man I'd love to get my hands on that. After researching the film this sit eis based on, I understand a bit more the interface.
