So this is the new version of an old thing. Update your bookmarks if you've got any. I'm still figuring out this CSS stuff, so there may be some changes in the future to the design or functionality, or some unanticipated bugs that may need ironing out. But at least it looks prettier.
More impressive revisions have occurred at the Deadroom site; that's the one I was sweating over so extensively last week. It's 100% brand new, a lot more visually appealing (especially on Macs, but isn't that the case with everything?), and more dial-up friendly. I'd say it's definitely worth visiting again, but maybe I'm just overly proud of all the work I did on it, in which case you can expect me to badmouth and redesign it in three to six months.
Also, the teaser trailers have all been changed. Mostly in terms of music and color correction, although I did recut the ones for my room and James's room a bit more substantially. I think they'll probably be the only trailers we'll have for the near future, although I may put a clip or two from the film itself online at some point.
We haven't gotten into any film festivals yet; Yen's submitted to nearly twenty, maybe more than that, and a good portion of them are major, hard-to-get-into festivals; thus, the two rejection letters we've received in the past two weeks aren't too discouraging. Once we start sending it two smaller festivals and receiving rejections from those ones, I'll start to get scared. Although hopefully by that point we'll all be so distanced from the film that it'll all be an afterthought, regardless. Actually, I shouldn't hope that -- feeling as distanced from the film as I already do can't be a good thing.
But at least I'm still happy with it, and proud of it. And I guess every now and then I'll even let stars cross my eyes.
Anyway, check out the new site if you have the time...or at least the first page, which is graced with our lovely new poster artwork, created by Neu LeBlanc.
