Sorry for the late post, i was out the entire weekend and didnt get a chance to post.

Here is my layout and design. When you click one of the menus, the layout will drop down to create space for contents.

Logo supposed to be on the left of the word "channelbox" but i don't have one yet.





I have a rough idea of how the flash will work, like rollovers and animations.

For the intro, i was thinking of having some abstract elements animating with MG, in the end forming to our logo. random research -> http://www.demoreel.at/ (loads really long) . But i guess it could be alot more creative than this.

I think ronald's coke production schedule looks awesome to me, perhaps the 2 texturing weeks maybe can push behind by 1 week. eating more to animation part.

Lets stick to the plan. Can we set a meeting on 19 or 20 march liddat to discussed what idea we've brainstormed and compile them? And then there'll be time for thumbnails till 21st for storyboarding.

Sorry i forgot about posting it on Sunday. completed my sketch quite some time ago.

ok here's mine. quite similar to marcus' template. only that i changed a bit of the layouts and stuff. and i like the idea about the intro vid.

and btw the bg moves! just a slow slight motion graphic kind of lines moving along.
And Dominance War IV is finally out! time to get cracking with DWIV and some Coke ideas.

(i was working with my own desktop's resolution(1680x1050) , so thats why its so long)

Hi guys, I was thinking along the idea of simple elements...

Some things to note.. the navigation buttons like grow bigger on hover will others make space..

The channelbox logo (this is a placeholder design) will be 3d and has a moving hold.. I have in mind a intro motion vid to have some graphic elements from into this box and fly to the top left corner as you see there...
I hope it can be an interactive cube too..

The portfolio thumbnails load on themselves.

And the last thing to note is.. I think I can add more reflections to everything but the layout I what i like and i think textures can be added like Yong's portfolio website.. :)

Thanks for reading.. What about you guys'? :D



oh yes, please look at the production schedule for coke zero and come up with a discussion time :) I didn't plan for any buffer time, for the first time.. so we have to stick to the plan.. I want to have a smooth production pace

Click to enlarge! :D


Hello! Here's the production schedule for the Coke Zero Eyeka Competition.
Channelbox is embarking on 2 new projects

1. Official Channelbox Website
2. Coke Zero TV Commercial

Let's keep this going! rmb the site design to be churned out by Sunday :D
cheers!

Hello!

So, I think we're all agreeable on a flash site and our own domain ya?
So maybe we think of a domain name next and come with the boards for the website.. :)
As an initiative, Yongs and I have come up with the following flash menu for starters.

Demoreel | Portfolio | Services | About us | Awards | Contact us | Blog

Preloader - if necessary

---Are you guys keen on a intro video?---

Demoreel - just a very cool video to compile channelbox's works. it's the home page

Portfolio - all our projects with thumbnail listing, similar to the theBUGfong's website. I will like this to be xml driven and have videos supported. Just like theBUGfong's website, Back to Site, Next, Previous, index counter navigation buttons | Launch project button | Title and Description | and subproject buttons are preferred.

Services - just a short write up and then a list

About us - short write up, then artist's profile (xml driven too, channelbox is expanding)

Contact us - contact detials + email form to official channelbox contact email..

Blog - External Link to our blog. It will be redesigned to suit the whole theme of the official site.

cheers! let's be active in posting and get our flash site developed :D
As a base, marcus's site is a good start but i'll love to playaround the elements a little bit to make things look a little unique for channelbox.. any ideas?

Maybe like.. A short video intro channelbox using intriging words.. then the whle screen morphs into a TV... and then a little animation.. then spins into our channelbox logo... the fly to the corner of the site.., the the page elements fade out... or fly in.. or whatever..

:D let's get creative... I kinda like the Birth 09 website. Singapore Poly's Grad Show at marina. Have a look : http://www.birththegradshow.com/

Hey all.

Ya the flash webby for me as well.

Regarding projects, i'm okay with both personal and competition stuffs. But i can't seem to find any nice competitions coming on these few days. but we can definitely take a look and see what eyeka.asia currently has.

But i'm more interested in a personal project with a deadline as i think i'll be more enjoyable during personal projects.

Just my thoughts!

What about the others?

WOoHooOoooo!

First off, congratulations to the channelboxers and friends on graduating from nanyang polytechnic, diploma in interactive and digital media!

And thank you ronald for initiating a new post after a long long break.

Same sentiments, i think channelbox will need to take up smaller scale projects in order to improve and progress steadily. So that everytime we finish a project, we can get fast feedback from people and improve next time round, rather than having a big scale one, and get slow feedback inproportional to amount of time spent.

Also, a very common problem with group work is commitment. Everytime we embark on a project, we need to stick to the plan (plan which ronald always makes). Of course, shit happens and it must be tended, thats inevitable but must say earlier so we can fix the plan/schedule.

I think right now, what we want is to expand channelbox. not in terms of numbers, but the time spent on project and create a freelance channelbox flash website? We need to meet up and discuss this haha.

For me, i prefer to join competitions and contests, rather than personal project. Because they have deadline and theme. And we will have competitors.

Let me explain the situation abit. Now everyone has just graduated wohoo, that means we got TIME. But we gotta go National service, earliest enlistment date is JULY, latest is october/november.

Ronald is having back injury, so meeting up might be a hassle to him, unless we meet at his house.

I will be starting my temporary fulltime job this coming april 20th - July 1st, so i will be expected to have less time but i'll definitely make time for channelbox. So right now, i'm goddam free.

I'm not sure for yongs marcus and jingky, you will have to explain yourself.



And now, lets start on some shit man.



sorry for long email, checking off now.

Cheers
