Kind of reminds me of a movie trailer! Nice design and a really neat intro but I don't like some of the things they've done with the interior of the site - namely that the flash animation and music never ends. After that fancy intro I think it really should. The varying text sizes also bug me.

P.S. I hope this isn't your site, you know that's not allowed Smiling I'm feeling a little suspicious here. My apologies if that's not the case.

just wanted to see if people had the same tastes as me in terms of websites. I personally think the music is a bit annoying but I like the pictures and panning effects.

and NO this is not my site...I wish !

The intro was cool. And they're Canadian, like Megan and me Wink.

Very nice intro, but I wasn't overly keen on the rest of the site but it's ok.

Talking about going overboard. I've never seen a site slow down like that. It's like it was a program performing a task while a dozen others were doing the same in the background. It really shows you an example of how dependant Flash is of your processor speed. A site like this 20 years from now will run like clockwork I imagine.

But, what an awsome display of how far we've come. And what is really quite possible to foresee. Could we be looking at major motion pictures on the Internet in the fashion of Final Fantasy and what was that other one. I'm excited! I'm going to see it again!

My only complaint was not being able to read the copyright info.

Although I like the intro, the site itself is not very interactive. There isn't much scripting involved here. And performance and file size suffers because of that. The intro was over 1mb--not practical for anyone not on broadband.

Here is a way more interactive example that runs cleaner: http://www.mjau-mjau.com/main.html

May need the Flash 6 player if you don't already have it.
