Well Tea N Crumpets has been online for four years now and in that time it...hasn't updated a whole lot. Well, there has been pages added for newer animations like Lucy Lolly and some pages went through several slight revisions, but otherwise it hasn't really changed much since it was first developed in 2005. Going in to edit the files for me now means I have to set my mind back to how i used to put stuff together in Flash, as I've improved and streamlined how I put things together now compared to back then.So as I've been saying over and over again for years I'm working on Tea N Crumpets version 2, only this time I actually have started working on it and have one of the pages made and ready! In fact because this is for me the most important page, I've uploaded it today as a sort of preview of what to expect from the new website!
The 'Profile' page is replacing both the Showreel and Information pages from before, which were so out of date it is actually kind of embarrassing. On this new page you get a short blurb about me, links to all my Internet homes (Youtube, facebook etc), and a section where you can browse my Portfolio (the new one I put together for New Designers), a new showreel (the website didn't even have last years one up, let alone this one!) and my current (needs work) CV. This has been designed to be very easy to update whenever it needs it.You'll see animation in the showreel and Portfolio you probably haven't seen before, including scenes from 'Lost in the K Hole' and 'Cool 2 Chil' which is that film I told you about a little while ago that i had been working on for months (both are traditional pen animation). I'll be uploading the showreel in HD to Youtube and Vimeo soon. I even designed exclusive fonts for the website this time, do you like them? I want to make the new version 100% my work, so that means no sound effects from old Mega Drive games either!
Oh, and in case you didn't figure out what to do on the page, you drag the crumpet/muffin/pancake onto my tongue. :P
