FINALLY! Today I uploaded my FLASH masterpiece...aka my beginner website effort in flash, the new Haverstick Films website. Check it out at www.haverstickfilms.com and of course you will need flash to view it, plus a DSL or cable level connection is recommended.
Now much like camping excursion to the Grand Tetons, in order to enjoy this website at this point in time you will need to endure a few pesky bugs. I am aware of them and am working to fix them (eventually) but don't rain on my parade with emails on them just yet because, folks I am darn proud of learning flash and creating this website 100% minus two percent myself! ....fine print disclaimer.... I did need the help of Flash expert and dear friend Adam Clark of Trick Digital to assist in some of the final navigation coding to the pages, but we will not officially give him any credit as Adam is a Flash master and will not want his name on a buggy beginner effort I am certain. You can check out some of his truly amazing work at www.trickdigital.com. He was a gentleman and stifled any snickers when he gazed on my code, but I am very pleased to have used my grey matter to learn what I certainly consider quite a difficult program to get this far with flash.
While I am accepting my Academy Award from FLASH and thanking my mentors I would like to also thank a person I have never met, Nathaniel this young Flash wizard who has put online free tutorials to learn various programs and I followed these things to the letter. If any of you ever want to teach yourself new programs I really recommend this dude at www.tutvid.com, and I also can tell you when you are desperate with a question he even answers your desperation emails.
Anyway, I am still working on perfecting and bebugging, but I am pretty pleased to have gotten this far!
By the way this web launch also marks a switch to our new Haverstick Films logo. The logo and the website were all created from images I took with my cell phone. While much of the film and digital world is going into bigger resolution and more pixels I am enjoying the challenge of creating imagery on my iphone, using such a pure and simple tool can bring clarity.
Enjoy!
