New Website Coming Soon!

I am officially announcing the impending makeover of my personal site at cheynej.awardspace.biz. Currently it is really not a bad site at all, but I don't feel it is any longer an adequate representation of my talent or portfolio. With the new site, I am starting with Flash CS5 and seeing where that takes me. Actionscript 3.0 (as well as any previous version) is based on Java which I am familiar with and already have some rough, prototype scripts running, experimenting primarily with explosive visuals.

This what I plan to culminate somewhere within the estimated range of three weeks from now. Three weeks for one website in my opinion is outright ludicrous, but I also have experience working as a sound engineer and a graphic designer. Remastering audio, building HD quality effects, synchronizing and testing the multitude of configurations available to find the best overall Flash display for the products and services I have in mind will take three weeks as a conservative estimate. It is more like baking wedding cake from scratch than anything else I could cook up. Speaking of which, I should now be on the go-list for working as a baker during graveyard-like-morning hours to help in making those ends meet! Oh yes, I will be baking in no less than both metaphoric and literal terms.

Edit: I'm waiting for Adobe's textbook on Flash CS5 due for June 4th. Until then I'll be running creative testing.
