Those of you with long memories might recall my mentioning that a good friend of mine was working on a film and that I was looking after the website side of things. Well, today we launched the site.
I present for your clicking pleasure The Street Cleaner – a movie by David Early.
The main purpose of the site is to hold the trailer but there’s some other stuff on there. Designing the site was a bit of a wrangle as Dave had some pretty clear ideas of how it should look but since as a digital matte artist (here’s his IMDB page) Photoshop is his principle tool they were pretty static. Being a stubborn arse (and also wanting to produce something that Google could index) I wanted to produce something more fluid using HTML/CSS. Finding that middle ground, and making sure it worked across all browsers, was kinda fun, especially as I’d not done such a graphically intense site before.
Anyway, there it is. The actual 18 minute short is in the final stages of post-production. I’m not sure if we’re going to be hosting a low-res version of it on the site but I’ll let you know if we do.
And it would be remiss of me not to mention that I’m available for hire for this sort of thing.
