Not much to say. Some shots are good. For the site itself, I see that you're on a univ server, ask your admin to give you a MySQL account. That's what I did and started to learn PHP and MySQL, you'll see that many scripts will give you better results for what you wanna do.
Keep up the good work.

Your site doesn't exactly give a good impresssion of your work.. your graphics in your portfolio are great though. Might want to try some CSS to fix those links (or change the bg color) - the blue on black makes my eyes squint!

I noticed that I too was squinting just a few days ago, I liked the black, but see that I should probably change the look. Thank you for your comments, a huge update is in order soon enough.

It's alright...You should take a look at some professional site and come up with some good color combos...Green & Orange, Red & Dark Gray, Orange & Blue etc...Anyhow it's okay, the portfolio is okay too...Ohh and get rid of that times new roman...Use something like verdana or arial....For text...
Also, for anyone using photoshop, if you the want your saved jpgs to look the same as the .psd your creating, go to "View>>Proof Setup>>Monitor RGB"...this will make sure the colors you select in phtoshop are the same as the jpg...If you haven't done so already, you may notice that sometimes your blues turn into purples...

I want to come up with an original way to display everything I have on my site, but I guess for the time being, maybe I should just make it look good. I'm going to be redesigning the site soon, right now it's all in raw HTML which I hacked out in Secure Shell, but I will be putting a lot of effort into it in the upcoming months. Thanks for the comments and ideas (and thank someone I'm not using comic sans).

I completely remade my page. So when you find some time and want to check it out, here it is. And if you find even more time and want to leave some feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Very special NOTE: some pages are down because I am working on them, but most are up!

everything has pretty much been said about your site. I was watching your movie, flight of the grasshopper, and was quite impressed. It actually made me laugh a few times. How on earth did you get the shot where the guy jumps over the chair, and then the scene stops with him in mid air to zoom around in different angles, before returning motion? Also, how did you get the guy to jump up the post like that in one motion. These two actions are very well done, and I'm just itchin' to know how the heck you did them (unless they're trade secrets, or something). Good job.

That part where the guy jumps over the bench, that idea is called "bullet-time" and is from The Matrix. I became utterly inspired to recreate that style from the movie when I watched the behind the scenes feature about it. In the film, the crew set up a huge rig of about 150 digital cameras around a green-screen (see the special feature to see what I'm talking about) and when they wanted, the used a computer to take pictures at roughly the same time or at minute intervals between the cameras and placed them in order, freezing or slowing the action of the characters and showing it from 100+ different angles in sequence.
As I was in high school when I made the film, all I had access to were disposable cameras and a couple of kids in my TV class. So I had 9 cameras/people total (I actually had about 23 cameras, but only 9 people were willing to help me). So, that may have not explained it well enough, if it didn't, tell me to explain it more. Thanks for visiting my site and watching my movies!
P.S. - the post jump was
Spoiler
, the guy climbed up, then jumped down and the two actors did their actions backwards for a few seconds

I agree with creatifex the site dosnet really compliment your work, its a little flat, and I think some more color and debth needs to be added, even just some graidents might help, or add a suttle texture. you might want to search web templates too to give you design ideas... nice work though.

Thanks for checking out my site (creatifex was actually referring to my all-HTML site I had up just a week ago, since then, I completely remade it). I think it looks better than what I used to have, but I don't love it. I will probably remake the site again in a few months once summer hits and I'm out of school. Yes!
