Website Design Explorations

The two sites I chose were

http://halo3.com/believe/shell.html

and

http://www.beowulfmovie.com/

One site I chose to explore was a site made in flash for the new game, Halo 3. It is the most amazing piece of work for a flash site I have ever seen and I can say I have no idea how it was done. It allows the movement through a virtual 3-d battleground. Even though the only movement is the camera you see it through, there is still sound that is very fitting to the scene. There is a great amount of consistency throughout it of soldiers, explosions and your general war images. It almost feels realistic. There are stop points with perfect alignment to learn about what going on along the journey you take, and the best part is you get to control where to go. There is definitely clarity and cleanliness, along with other design aspects. It is very easy to maneuver.

The next site I chose was a site for a upcoming movie called Beowulf. This site is a bit less interesting however well done nonetheless. The walk through mead hall definitely lacks content, it feels empty but if you explore it enough and listen in you can get a feel for the movie.
