Basic idea behind my next flash site is a portfolio website in which the navigation is built off the chambers/loading of a gun. 1)User loads page = Gun revolves up towards viewer (similar to the "reload" animation of most first person shooter, or FPS, video games)
Each bullet = different work.
2)User takes bullet and puts it into gun
3)chamber closes
4)gun revolves toward viewer
5)fires
6)flash of white
7)animation/portfolio item begins
As to the conceptual value of the gun, I simply like the aesthetic of it, but I dont want it to become an NRA flash site.... so the gun is going to be based off of video game/comic book dimensions and overall "feel". The bullet menu allows for an infinite amount of easily created submenus.
how the works show up will be important.
ReplyDeletewill the bullet just disintegrate into the different art pieces,
or will there just be a noise and poof, an art piece?
So will there be six bullet/chambers be of what? One is a portfolio? Or are they subdivisions of the portfolio?
ReplyDeleteI feel that sound is going to be important with this.
will the pieces fade in more or less because of the smoke and gunpowder from the shot? But yes the transition of the white to the piece is going to be very important and how smooth the gun actually moves with be very important.
