Bobby Shore Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 hi, I've finally gotten around to making a website, and would love to get some feedback about the layout, content, etc. It made it in iweb (almost proving that it's not idiot-proof in the process). Here's the address: www.bobbyshore.com. Thanks. Bobby Shore DP LA/Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Christian Sprenger Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hey Bobby, first off, Great work on the website. I am very close to re-doing mine and gearing it a lot more towards a clip-based interface. Also, my highest compliments on your work - terrific stuff! And might I add that the last line in your bio is amazing! I'm from Chicago and have only been in LA about 6 months but am beginning to find out how hard it is to keep up with biking in this damn city- however, I still try to ride every day and I must say that I feel quite rebellious when riding next to people in their cars! I noticed that your bio mentions mention that you attended AFI in 2004 - I finished my undergrad last spring at Columbia in Chicago in cinematography and have been toying with the AFI vs. "just get out there and shoot" argument ever since. Obviously when I first moved to LA it was all ''get out and shoot'' but I'm finding it more and more difficult to do that. I've still been shooting and have a lot of new content for the re-vamping of the website, but I'm afraid of loosing those few solid contacts that I do have over time and then having to start back at square one. It appears as though AFI was a great choice for you... any advice? Do you feel that it was worth the tuition cost in the long run? Great work over all though man - very nice and clean!

Great work over all though man - very nice and clean! what's up christian, dude, thanks so much for the comments, much appreciated. As for the biking, check out http://www.midnightridazz.com... weekly rides, lots of fun... I just got back from a 15 mile trek around the city, met some really cool people. email me so I get your contact info and I'll let you know the next time I go out if you want to peep it. As for AFI, yeah man, the tuition vs. education question is a big one... It was completely worth it for me, I learned a ton, had an awesome time (even though it was pretty tough), and for real, it had a pretty big influence on handling the work I was fortunate enough to get into after I finished. Remember also, those contacts you have now will still be there in couple years, plus you'll meet a ton more at the school. It's a tough call... there's nothing wrong with applying and saying no either. Let me know if you have anymore questions man. I'd be happy to help if I can. Peace.

Here's the address: www.bobbyshore.com. Thanks. Bobby Shore DP LA/Montreal Hey, that's got some pretty cool stuff on there, definitely some imagery off the beaten path. Nice work! I like the layout. Only one clip ("Destin" in "commercial" didn't load) and I got the big blue Q. Everything else was ready to go right away. I mention it because I use i-Web too and I like to know if people can see everything. I'm curious, some of those clips are good length. i-Web recommends a 10MB file size for optimum performance per clip. What sizes are these clips? Do you export from Final Cut Pro or i-Movie or how do you send your video to i-Web and do you use QT conversion or "share" in i-Movie? Now I know where I've seen your name. I watch "The Business" on IFC. You do a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch "The Business" on IFC. You do a great job! What's up Tim, Thanks so much for the nice words, I really appreciate it. Most of the clips are 16-29 MB in size, which I know is bigger than iweb says they should be, but I haven't had any problems yet (at least none that I know about)... although, maybe that;s why the Destin clip had a hard time loading. For the compression, I usually exported a good sized quicktime from final cut pro, then exported again using quicktime with a broadband setting, that brought most of the video in the 20-30 MB range... I thought it'd be too big, but a friend said it'd work fine. I know what you're saying about iweb though, for some reason I feel like since I actually did it myself, it'll never work on anyone else's computer. Thanks again for your input man, talk soon.
