'A&C Forever latest'
Hello there!
To let you know I've been working like a dog (as Bud would say) on the new
site. Its been totally redesigned from scratch, coming up to 600 images (about
2 thirds of the way through!), videos, and more details written for EACH film
more than any A&C website you have seen to date.
The new site is designed as a web application and not a website
and therefore will run as a companion piece to other A&C websites out there.
It will not be featuring news pieces, updates, etc as you can read all that
over at the offical site. This will concentrate mostly on their TV and movie
work.
As with all IT projects, it seems the more you do the more there has to be
done and indeed there is still much to be done and the new Feb deadline seems
not to be enough time; my real life of course takes over a lot of my time
you understand.
I was thinking of uploading soon in its current state but I want to release
a good 1st version product rather than an unfinshed one.
But to let you know that construction is ongoing. Beware though: this is a radical change on what you are used to seeing around here. I have dropped the "scrapbook" look entirely and its now totally optimised with users retrieval of information taking precedence. Its entirely database driven too. The site is looking good in Firefox but not so in IE, so I will have to write css to accomodate both browsers, more work!
I have also uncovered some radio versions of songs found in some A&C films that I am sure you will be delighted to hear.
I will keep you updated with all progress on this page. In the meantime, check out the trailer I created on the right. I plan to create many more of these as I really enjoy video editing.
Talk to you all soon,
Russell Dodd, webmaster. 10th Feb 2008.
