the site was wayyy to busy, it also didnt run very smoothly. One of the things that bugged me was the fact that the flash animation kept taking over my mouse and stuff when i would click on a link, i hate that sooooo much. i also dont like how the space ship just flashes web and pring, and 2d/3d and other spot over and over, it for one flashes them too fast, and it is again to busy.

The flash main page is OK, but the mouse cursor could move a bit more smoothly. Also, you don't seem to have much content and the only actual informational page isn't flash - it's just basic HTML.
From what I've seen of your flash skills, you could integrate the "info" page into the main flash interface, it would make the site come off much more professionally.

My first impressions... very creative. may be very talented.
What if the animated motion effect stopped when it wasn't really
moving any more. In other words. The intro is fine. I devine
that the circle/button/hybrid thing is to be clicked. I click
info... info displays. STOP moving. Don't make me motion sick
while I'm trying to read. After I read and click something
else, animate for me while the transition happens.
That's what I think of the animation. You can have the best
of both, I bet. The other way to describe that is something
an old professor once told me:
"Take credit for the effect, but don't beat me over the head
with it. The last thing TV makers need is a little man jumping
up and down on top of the set saying 'THIS IS A TV. You
are SOO SMART for buying this TV.' "
On the info page, I don't know what "MY CV" is. I guess I know
what "MY" is... but I don't know what "CV" is.
"Contact: " having the colon the same as "cell:" and "mail:"
makes me thing something is not visible on that line.
Consider simply "Contact"
The brown on black for the mail link doesn't "work" for me. Not enough
color contrast.
I don't know Flash, and I'm just now investigating adding support
for that into my software... but.. what if after the load and intro dance
the guy with the bow *said* "SELECT". or "CHOOSE"
In a male voice. probably kinda deep. primitive sounding.
That would be good, I think.
I can make some examples if you want.
Then when I get to the end of the animation/transition and
the new little buttons appear... have the man speak again
And... if you BLINKED the menu choice icons/buttons when
the man said whatever word you decide, that might be a
good thing to hold the user's hand a bit through your
highly creative but moderately unrecognizable user interface.
If you changed the tag line every N seconds instead of just
leaving it be "freelance multimedia designer and animator"
that could be VERY effective. Give me more reasons to want
to higher you. Answer the most frequently asked questions
before the surfer even thinks to ask.
The principle there is ACTIVE vs PASSIVE.
Break out of the "manual click until exhaustion sets in"
surfer-torture web *page* model. Don't limit your self to the
confines of a piece of paper simply because web pages do / have to
on the backs of that 13 year old "markup language" paradigm.
You've already taken the first step on that path brilliantly by open
the door to the world that flash offers. Go the rest of the way.
That's my advice.
Ohh.. and if the mouth of the beast is supposed to be the arrow / cursor
that the tribal guy shot, that doesn't really come across so well,
since the white arrow is so much bigger than when it was shot.
Maybe smaller? It lokos more like a bad rendering of an open mouth
with teeth... and a white tongue? naw.
Keep up the good work !

Re: need feedback on my new flash site i felt like you needed more substance to it. your site had a good flash intro but there wasnt much info in it or things that i could do. also the cursor could move a little smoother, but that is a good design to change the cursor look

Liked the site a lot. I think Flash is the way to do things unless there is a whole heap of text for people to wade through.
Some people are impatient though - I wonder if a "skip intro" is possible - or is the whole site loading in anyway?
For those that dont like the animation going on all the time you could have a stop/start button that writes a flash cookie to stop/start the animation?
