recently we decided to revisit one of our first websites and revamp it a bit. it’s a site that continues to attract people’s attention and represented, back then, our first truly experimental work. we were given carte blanche to make the site any way we wanted, and in our miserable, dank, little east-london bedrooms, it meant a great deal to us to finally be able to prove our worth.
that said, we believe hugely in the ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ dogma and so have made the following respectful list of subtle changes to the site that we feel were only necessary to keep it breathing and satisfying its users.
- actionscript 3 codebase
- xml driven content
- h264 video
- additional ‘water colour’ interactive ‘sketch book’
- full screen functionality
- UI speed increase
- new backdrop ‘studio photos’
- higher quality exports of ‘day’ and ‘night’ short films
we hope, if you were a fan before, that you enjoy the upgrade. for those of you who’ve never seen the site before, we hope it finds a new and satisfied audience, and of course does a handsome job of introducing you to the artist’s work.
just had a play with the water colour sketch book, and reviewed the new content – great update 😉
