I hate sounding all professional when I know I'm not, but my "production company" site is up, at

http://www.FrozenPhoenixProductions.com

I've posted my other short films there that would be too short, simple or dumb to pay $10 to host here. Hope you have quicktime!

I'd love to hear comments on site design and/or the movies on there.

Looks like a decent site. I'm waiting for your videos to load... files that are close to 45 megs like "jerry" should be reduced in size. I don't say this for my sake, but for yours. Luckily, I'm patient, but your potential clients might not be.

Haha. If only we had potential clients. Honestly, If someone isn't patient enough to wait for it to load, they probably won't like Jerry. It's drawn out, and while it has it's moments, I think very few would appreciate it. The actor, Noah, just wanted to make it for generally superficial reasons, and the result isn't that entertaining. But you're right, few people would wait for that to load. It does stream, however, at 768k/sec, so once you get a good lead on it it shouldn't be an issue for anyone with at least broadband speed.

I think I'll make it smaller anyway though. Thanks.

Great design, loved the look of the page. The movie seemed to stream very fast for me and was at very good quality. Jerry kind of reminded me of the first ten minutes of Sling Blade.

Thanks--and I'm glad you found something in "Jerry".

I use Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 to compress all the video files. I used to not like it, but recently Quicktime has become my best friend.

Ciao Ben... if you need help to solve audio problems, let me know. I would be glad to lend an hand!

More of me and Noah playing around.

Your site is good, a bit blah on the coloring. There should probably be only one vertical side bar on the site partnered with perhaps a vertical. The lettering doesn't puch through the background like I thought it would. The choice in video is great. Overall, the site is simple in structure. I'm not a web designer by any means, but just wanted to give my two cents. Changes - perhaps lighten up the page a bit, but nothing close to white. Keep it up.

Appreciate the comments. Yes, I know the site is a bit drab, we're overhauling it in the near future--and I never liked frames at all anyway, but they sort of found their way into the picture somehow. The next design will be much, much different and definately more colorful. At this point our real concern is the content, not the design--a site can be as spiffy as Cindy Crawford's jeans but if the videos are crap, then the site is crap. Things that make me laugh: cars getting towed away for being parked in a handicapped spot, drunks, and people who spend all their time trying to make the coolest website ever only to have their only content being cartoons they drew in Microsoft Paint last night and "here is where we'll put updates" all over the front page.

I just watched the "One Headlight" music video, and I was very impressed with the cinematography(atleast in the beginning). I wasn't too big on the CG, but overall it was pretty good.

Did you just do the Editing, or the Directing as well? What camera did you use?

It's nice to finally see some stuff that's above average. I'm so used to seeing "****ty" (for lack of a better word) student films that are either yellow or blurry. Hope to see more of the good stuff in the future.

Thanks for the comments. Yeh, I directed and edited it, with a Canon GL2 affixed with my 35mm adapter.

The CG wasn't what I wanted it to be, but then again I didn't plan on having it until last minute.
