Check it out guys. Just launched my new portfolio site along with some new videos.
The site is still being finished but most of it is done. Still need to insert the project descriptions,
finish uploading projects to the after hours page, link up the contact form and add the links page.
Wow, that is more than I thought when I started this post.
Anyways, Check it out and let me know what you guys think.

Wow! That looks great, you're really talented!
Can't really put my finger on anything, except maybe changing layout on the menu items on the left. They could be intuitive, now I had to kinda guess what they linked to.

Looks good, you can't click on all of the items in your left menu bar, 1 or more items are pushed below the page.

Thanks guys. It kinda pushes the links page off the screen on smaller monitors. It will fit if you zoom out a little or minimize the address bar. I'm trying to figure out a way to fix it with out shrinking the site down.

Wow, video is really impressive. What tool are you using for all of that animation? Definitely impressed with the combo video and animation at the same time. Doesn't seem easy.

Try using your webpage at 1024x768. The left menu is too tall and you can't scroll. 1024x768 is probably still the standard for many users.

A huge chuck of the browsing population still uses 1024x768. You could shrink your bio down a bit, or move the content under a link, or make that area scrollable with the rest of the site.

Fixed the issue on the home page for smaller monitors. It shouldn't be a problem on the work pages. Still trying to link up the contact form and finish the links page. Thank for the feedback and all the compliments.

Wakebrad - All the motion videos are done with after effects and with a couple in Cinema 4D.

It is also a little jacked in IE 6 (yes most people don't care) but the corporate people usually still have it for some reason. Cool

Nice work though, looks good... demo reel is very good.

Thanks. I haven't gone in and started all the cross browser fixes yet. I knew about the ie positioning and alpha support problems. I just haven't had time yet. I had to get all my work up for graduation this week first.

Laughing IE6 + .png files drive me nuts.

We stopped supporting IE6 like today. I refuse to develop for an obsolete browser any longer.

The page is cool overall, I just think the typography on the whole could be worked on... The main headline typeface is a bit childish and unprofessional, plus you have used almost half a dozen other point sizes throughout the site. Also, I don't think the link to the videos needs the underlining with the roll over...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. The header was just a place holder. I got enough complaints about the font so I made a new header really quick and put it in. Still a place holder till I finish designing the final header. Thanks again on the feedback.
