    looks cool, i think you should change you homepage though, because its the first thing people see, and they want to know what the site is first, not watch a video and dont know whats going on.

    Yeah, looks nice, but not really sure what it is at first. And it takes a while to load so I didn't stick around to inspect the video. I like the rest of the pages though and the dude at the top by the nav.

    I liked the site, it looks good, easy to navigate. I definitely agree with the others about the opening video, you should move it to another page. I would normally leave a page that opens with a full screen video. Best of luck.

    Very nice site, well done with coding it in HTML and CSS, not tables.

    Athough the positives outweigh the negatives, your site lacks terribly on content (text).

    If you want to rank good in Search Engines, content is king.

    Thanks! Thats one thing we're trying to sort out. But its basically to showcase videos we have done so the thinking continues!

    Yeah, I understand.

    One thing that you may want to do is have a description of the video above it - including <h1> tags, etc.. Which should help your SEO. :cool:

    Site is clean but the movie loading initially may cause some visitors to bail. A better idea may be to have the video embedded in a portion of the homepage instead of dominating the whole user interface when a user comes to the site
