One of the sites I was working on this time last year, the BFI’s screenonline has gone live, at last. Happily, it still looks pretty much the way I coded it, so there’s a new item for my CV page, whenever I get around to putting that back up. The first crop of features includes a piece on Oliver Postgate’s Smallfilms, known to long term readers as one of enthusiasm’s household gods. It seems that access to audio and video clips on this site, however, is for registered users only, and registration is limited to schools, colleges and libraries. Bummer.
The sister site, luxonline, which I coded in parallel with this one, has yet to launch. What can they be doing with it? The front end was finished back in February…
