This is a good site, or at least it was. There appears to be issues today and the site is partially down. I'll check back later today to see if it is back
The site's back, but it looks more generic that the previous incarnation. Also, the only content is the synopsis, image gallery, and trailer.
The full site is up. There's a couple of extras including a behind the scenes featurette and some information on the Mayan culture. However, it doesn't do enough to sell the movie.
Just the trailer so far. It is obviously an Oscar contender, or at least that is what it is aiming for. But it is too soon to tell how strong the movie is, or what it's competition is like.
The latest blog entry is on the new Aston Martin, specifically how it is too stable to roll and how that gave the stunt crew fits.
The full site launched this week, and it contains all of the usual features plus a couple of extras. These are a behind-the-scenes video clip and a history of apartheid.
The full site launched this week and it is excellent. There's the normal menu system at the bottom, but you can also find all of the content by exploring the room, which is rendered in 3-D. All the usual feature for a documentary site are here, as well as extras like movie clips, additional background information, and more. However, it is the style that makes it stand out.
Not much here, just the synopsis, trailer, and a message board.
The site is dead.
Not much has changed since last week but it is still very subdued and powerful.
No changes since last week.
The rest of the usual features were added to the site this week including extensive production notes dealing with not only the making of the film but about the battle and the famous photograph.
My Indie Spirit was added this week, but it is not nearly as interesting as I has hoped.
This is two sites in one. The first site is for the real movie, For Your Consideration. The other is for the movie within a movie, Home for Purim. The main site has all the usual features, (synopsis, production notes, cast & crew bios, image gallery, and trailer). The side site has most of the usual features, (synopsis, cast & crew bios, etc.), however, the cast & crew bios here are more like character bios for the main site. Also on the site are two clips, but they are still marked coming soon. The site certainly made me want to see more, which is the best complement a movie site can get and while Home for Purim might not win many awards, this site takes home the Red-Carpet Weekly Website Award.
The full site launched this week, but there's not much here. Also, I don't like how they did the image gallery. Instead of clicking on the image to see it, you have to hold down the mouse button.
The trailer is online, all the Fanboys say, "Huh." It's not the train wreck I feared, in fact, it's pretty good. But I'm still on a wait and see on this one. Also new this week is a short clips of the transformation scene.
No real content so far.
Not much as changed since the flash site first launched. It's not bad, but it feels like there should be more.
All the usual features are here, including extensive production notes. The site also has enough style to stand out, most in the form of audio clips, but not enough to be an award-winning site.
Not much as changed, which is a disappointing. When the site first launched I figured it was a great start, not the end of the line.
Not much here, just the synopsis, cast & crew list, and trailer. The lone extra is an under-populated journal.
All of the usual features are here, but the heart of the site are the video clips, which including the trailer, behind-the-scenes, and interviews.
Just the trailer so far, but I couldn't get it to work. The trailer would only load part way then hang on me.
Some more audio and video clips were added to the site this week. The film looks intriguing, but perhaps too bizarre even for me.
There's a new contest where you can win a poster printed with the blood of Tobin Bell.
All of the usual features are here, but it doesn't have a very professional feel.
No content so far.
There's a slight change to the placeholder site. Also, the main site took forever to load. And by forever I mean nearly 1 full minute.
The trailer was added to the site and it's better than I thought it would be. However, I still think it will be a tough sell.
All the usual features are here, but it doesn't have a very polished feel.
It has been a long, long time since there was any real updates on this site.
Just the synopsis and the trailer so far.
Not much here, just the cast bios and the trailer.
