With the completion of the Media Kit the REELcomp Team is hitting the road for a few weeks to seek out potential sponsorships and advertisers to make the site completely free for all users. Next week it’s back to Vermont, REELcomp’s stomping ground, to meet with Rome Snowboards, Burton Snowboards and Anheuser Busch.
I am finally hooked up out here in Fairplay with the Internet. After many hours of phone calls and router tweaking it was decided to put the router on my roof. I will let you know that out here in the remote town of Fairplay there are not many options for Internet service. I am linked from my roof to a T1 line at my neighbors house and we transmit through radio waves. Any way I am up to date and ready to begin surfing the web.
We have received word from ASR that we have the rights to streamline live the es game of skate on September 8th. We have sponsored the mini ramp at ASR, which is not so mini at 50′ by 50′ by 8′ tall. We will keep you posted on times and dates of the live events as we get closer.
CXX is a portion of REELcomp.com that is dedicated to Live Streaming of events with an interactive side that allows our members to chat live as the event is taking place. During periods where there are no events this page will be streaming, randomly, the top videos in each category as a single channel so to speak.
There is talk of HD ! We will keep you posted !
REELcomp.com has created a unique video viewing and navigation tool that will allow users to save favorites, play music and watch videos from a remote feature. This feature allows you to completely customize your own remote to exactly what you want. It will also be available for a downloadable application to your desktop to be used as a “gadget” or a “widget” so you will be able to view videos of your choice without opening a browser ! What can you get away with with a navigation tool like that? As development continues we will release more info.
Today was the day to meet with Mind Medium again and to get an update of where we are at in our project. Mind Medium had a demo up for us to see and it looked sick. All the communication has paid off as to which way to head with design and Mind Medium was right their scooping up all the ideas and putting them in 0’s and 1’s. The whole crew was very excited too see the progress and that we are right on track for Stage three. I have got to put the keys away and catch some sleep on this flight I have a long drive back to Fairplay tonight and an early to work in the A.M.
Sunday morning was on us after a crazy night and we were off to grab some grub. Following a long breakfast we were back at Melissa’s finishing up with the design in Illustrator. Mark made quick work with the computer and by the early evening we had an Illustrator file for each of our pages that are to be REELcomp.com. Dinner was approaching fast and we had a gang of people ready to tear up some sushi. We brought along with us a potential programmer for the site to get to know a bit better. We learned a lot of what kinds of work he has been into over the past few years and where his expertise lie. After sushi, and a mess at the self serve Ice Cream Sunday shop thanks to Mark C., we were on our way back for a well-deserved early nights rest.
WOW. What another whirlwind yet highly productive weekend for REElcomp. By late Friday afternoon we had all arrived in Los Angeles and were headed down to Newport Beach to get an early start on Saturday. We got to the Ramada ResidenceInn and Chad dished out the new wireless gear to help keep us all connected and on the same network. Saturday morning came after a short nights rest and we were into some bagels and work by 9 A.M. Mark was dropping lots of design ideas on us for Rave Cards and Business Cards and we were able to make some decisions on the direction we will head with those. We moved shop over to Melissa’s in the early afternoon to bang out some more work. We locked in a good portion of the final design proposals on Illustrator to be handed off to Mind Medium during our upcoming meeting. The whole team was pleased with how the vision of the site was melding together so we decided to grab a few cocktails, and call it a days work around 8 P.M.
