yo hehe I am the first to post here in 2007!
I am really like your art it is so beautiful.
You should ofc take your time to make this or else it won't be as good.
But I also think you should post some more on your page or you gonna loose many visitors, but maybe you don't care about that. It is enough to just make small, really small updates to make it worth to visit your page again, to make it interesting. It don't really matter to me I only hope for your best I Love your art and story, so I visit the site now and then.
I remember the flash you put on Newgrounds, it sure did show how good you are. It vent to top 100 very fast if I recall it right.

He speaks the truth, Ola. Small updates actually do a lot to keep people coming back. Even when there's a lot more to say and you don't have the time to say it, it's better to just write a line or two than to not write anything at all.

Hi there, thanks for this post. I could not agree more! I really thought I would be able to have time for all this, things have been very hectic the last year. We had our second daughter in the end of March, we have moved, and this new year I got married. I have also been working alot with commercial projects, for the sake of money. I have been working on my website aswell, but as you know, it has not been finished. I really hate to give out anything thats not really finished, but here is a seceret preview of the website, for your eyes only. I think you all are worth it! www.goober.nu/FlashSiteWhen I come back, I promise I will put up some stuff for you!! Cheers!! Now we are going to Thailand for a month, and I will be back in the middle of february.

Wow, I'm amazed! So many amazing things... what stood out for me were your concept drawings for the robot film, and the "shifts" to the "other side" and "down below". I wonder if there will be anything there? I'll bet there will. The concept art for Sumo the Bambooman was quite eye-opening... there are some very accomplished sketches of African people in there. And Ola, that cuckoo scared me! That was a very nice touch. ;D The clock background sound is amazingly multilayered, yet I wonder if it might be possible to make it feel like you're in this room with the clock with an open window - so that ocassionally, the wind would blow into the window and the sound of the clock would be drowned out for a short while by the sounds of nature (blowing grass, etc.) This isn't a criticism at all, just something that I thought might be nice if you have the time. The interface of the website is incredible... I suppose this is a sneaky way of getting prospective clients to actually see what you are capable of even if they are too impatient to see any of your works - I'd say that the website itself is one of the most impressive things you've done, and is a work of art in and of itself. There are a few things which need to be fixed, though I imagine you've probably thought of them already: -a way to turn the background sound off when a film is being played -run all of your sentences through MSWord to check for spelling/grammar errors (there are some - not in the introduction, but in the other pages) And Thailand? That's wonderful! It has always seemed like an interesting country to me. If you're interested in Thai animation, by the way, see if you can find this somewhere (Thailand's only traditionally-animated feature film, made by an obsessed genius... impossible to find anywhere outside of Thailand nowadays, it seems).

I agree. This is really neat. It's a like a room with several little secret doors that hide something. The underwater dive was my favorite. Though I would say this: the clock is the most prominent feature, but it has two problems with me. There's a lot of white noise for the ticking play back. If the volume is turned up a tad you can hear the pop almost like someones's hitting a keyboard key from when the loop ends. Also because I'm kind of a punk , I'll go ahead and mention that the ticking doesn't match the moving pendulum. Still, it's a pretty neat site and I've been watching quitely for quite awhile and I think this is a pretty exciting development.

Now, this is strange! If you listen to this company, Nim's Journey is a Hollywood movie that will be released in 2007, and they are so bold so they take credit for making the whole website. ;D www.training-sscsworld.com/overview.html

Wow. Did they have anything to do with the website at all? (ie. did you use their software) Since they're in India, I suppose there's nothing you can really do but put a big fat sign at the top saying that any company taking credit for the website is lying.

No, they have nothing to do with it at all, or with me for that sake. I sent them a mail anyway, just letting them know that I know what they are up to. Anyway, as you say, they are in India, so what can I do?
