Re: FLASH: possible job

[Susan Sheehan]

First I want to say thanks for your offer, I feel like I've hung myself out

to dry with this...... of course I told the client (actually his business

manager, since I am working through him) we can do Flash, no problem.  HA!


At this point we are still in the "talking" stage and I don't have tons of

information about the actual web site.  Here is what I know...


*They don't want a typical fan site

*The actor wants to have a large section of the site promote his country of

origin

*They like these flash sites for the actor intro... of course they don't

want to copy them but they sent me these URL's as a couple of examples of

the general idea of what they are looking for:

    http://www.cartier.com/

    http://www.kablink.com/


For the other part of his site (the part about his country) they liked:

    http://www.vrlx.com/


Now on my computer this site didn't do much other than the "golden" small

pix at the top was a movie, however I think what they are talking about is

when you click the link that says "enter VRLX"  which is on the left of the

screen.  This link leads to a rather elaborate movie... I'm going to guess

expensive!


So they don't want the entire site in flash just these two areas (at this

point, I think a lot will depend on the price).  I don't have the job yet,

but they are looking for a starting point on Flash work and at this point I

can't even give them that.


Maybe you can help me ask them the right questions!  I of course can figure

out the html and plain graphic portion of the job but the Flash part.... I

don't even know where to start.  I am just a local web/graphics designer on

Cape Cod.  How I even got considered for this job is just one of those weird

coincidences that sometimes happen in life - a right place at the right time

thing.


Although I've been asked not to publicize the actor yet but he is a regular

cast member on a night time network TV series.  He has done a few movies as

well.


Thanks for any help you can give me.
