| tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00 | Posted - Jan 4 2009 : 5:15PM Sorry, I'm going on a serious lack of sleep right now and am confused. Are you saying you think having the download or stopping the downloads is a bad idea? [Link] |

| Anime Nut Senior Member Too cool for Zuul 1925 Posts 6/06 | Posted - Jan 5 2009 : 3:09AM Trailers should not contain: - Pop shots. That's like the spoiling the ending. - More than 2 positions per scene. Leave us wanting more. - Bizarre special effects that don't appear in the actual video. I'm looking at you, JJV, and your swirling anal gapes. [Link] |

| Sith in SC Member Ceiling Cat is watching you masturbate. 371 Posts 8/03 | Posted - Jan 5 2009 : 5:47AM 2 reasons: 1. The choice of speed and versions for downloading trailers. I would always choose EVIL / WMV. 2. You always could quickly check for new trailers on the far right-hand side. I bought tons of Evil Angel movies because I had downloaded and watched the trailer. A trailer is never a substitute for a full DVD. [Link] |

| cubesnake Senior Member 3858 Posts 10/02 | Posted - Jan 5 2009 : 9:42AM ) All this  ing won´t help either and we don´t wanna piss of Tricia (our  ) do we  I understand the need to find another solution for a website if maintaining gets to timeconsuming. I´m an "oldschooler" if it comes to Websites ... the simpler the better. "I" don´t need flash and all that other crap so many sites seem not to be able to live without. We have to wait  and see what the finished (a site is never finished btw) site will look like and maybe if we all behave  we even get the "Trailers" back Cube  Edited by - cubesnake on 1/5/2009 9:44:58 AM [Link] |

| tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00 | Posted - Jan 6 2009 : 1:00AM The site switch of the last day was a really f'd up situation. Our server host had an outtage. Some of our stuff was corrupted and it's being worked on. It's only a partial coincidence that I felt like throwing up most of the day. [Link] |

| tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00 | Posted - Jan 7 2009 : 1:44AM It's going to have problems this week. Possibly lots of them. We're aware of a huge portion of them and can only fix them so fast, considering that some of our main internet people have to keep some of their focus on Internext. The old site being partly up was/is a temporary fix. [Link] |

| Adulta5k New Member 1 Posts 1/09 | Posted - Jan 8 2009 : 1:47AM So far the general verdict has not been good. But in fairness to the programmers who no doubt skipped a few christmas dinners in order to "update" the site, maybe a little constructive criticism is do The Pros 1)Aesthetics...The new website has a more streamlined aesthetic scheme with a consistent signature motif that incorporates all the titles in a way that emphasizes not only their individuality but also place within the overall evilangel brand range 2)Navigation....The new website is easier to navigate with boxcover thumb nail button/links replacing text in a way that introduces a sense of fluency and ease in navigating from page to page However the update has its serious flaws 1) Content....The new website only provides flash trailers for series after January 2007.The old one provided downloaded trailers from 2004 onwards. There may be a compelling server rationale for switching from downloads to pure flash but what rationale could the be for removing all trailers for titles before 2007? Basically all trailers between 1999 and 2007 are nonexistent. Nearly 80%. In fairness most titles only had trailers from 2004 in a low wmv format, but they still existed. In terms of evaluated consumer psychology trailers play a consequential role in the transition of the acquisition cycle from passive browsing to actual purchasing. The notion that there is an archetype of browser who eschews buying DVDs in order to exclusively subsist on 5 minute trailers isn’t borne out by the empirical data. In fact there is a high co-correlative relationship between those who watch trailers and purchase products. Not only are most trailers missing now, having thumbnails that purport to link to trailers only to discover they don’t exist is worse than having no trailers at all, it creates a sense an incomplete site with amateurish presentation values. The majority of the pre 2007 Siffreddi,Stagliano,Leslie,Malone,Clark,Belladonna backcatalouge now amounts just to a series of inanimate boxcovers.Look at the comparative data. Consumers who have viewed a trailer have a higher marginal propensity to purchase a product than those just exposed to inanimate boxcovers with descriptive blurbs. Keeping the archived trailers but switching them all to a view-only-flash format would have addressed the concern about the amount of traffic that is only interested in downloading trailers as a substitute for purchasing product. Essentially it appears that the Evilangel website is no longer a media rich destination site in itself but just a collection of boxcovers that link to periphery sites that offer merchandise. If you look at web traffic analytics and quantitative data, studio sites with trailers(Jules Jordan, Elegant Angel ) and other media applications average ten times(60k) as many unique visitors a month as sites that offer few trailers and just a series of boxcover thumbnail jpegs(6k+). More than that entire series are missing. What happened to the Justin Slayer and the Harmony series? There may be legitimate business and contractual reasons to explain their disappearance but the overall impression is that that the "updated" site actually has a lot less media content than the old one when intuitively the reverse should be true. 2) Economics...

| cubesnake Senior Member 3858 Posts 10/02 | Posted - Jan 8 2009 : 3:41PM Hi, Just a little idea ... I would guess visitors would like it as much as i do if those navigating "helpers" (left_arrow, numbers from 1 to 10 , right_arrow) would be added to the end of a page of Thumbnails. Therefore they would not have to go all the way up to navigate further. Cube [Link] |

| Heretic New Member 4 Posts 6/08 | Posted - Jan 14 2009 : 11:06AM As far as claiming that trailer downloads were driving down DVD sales - look at the left side of the site (when its up). It's ads for VOD as well and the director branded web sites, which are outlets that compete with DVD sales. [Link] |

| tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00 | Posted - Jan 14 2009 : 1:19PM Thanks for the thought out post. I'm in a difficult situation because I don't have the technical web knowledge that I have of editing movies where I understand solutions so much better. So I'm having things explained to me in semi-layman terms by the people who are actually doing the work. It is not an intentional thing for there to be no trailers for movies from before 2007. The old website had several different sections that were all manually linked and tried to make look seamless to the viewer. So trailers were stored in different sections. As always, someone's working on it. Unfortunately, two of the available people are partially unavailable at InterNext in Vegas. Most likely with huge hangovers. [Link] |

| SmellsLikeAss Member I can smell gape... 299 Posts 5/08 | Posted - Jan 24 2009 : 8:13AM With regards to the debate of people just visiting the site to view trailers and not paying for the actual product, personally I'd like to say I've bought every Jay Sin release ever made for EA and have done so, amongst other things, because of the fact that the trailers allowed me to clearly see what I was buying before spending money on a movie that could be sub par.

| cubesnake Senior Member 3858 Posts 10/02 | Posted - Jan 24 2009 : 11:56AM I´m glad another site has changed back to "downloadeable" trailers [url=380495]  ) anyway i´m glad they did :)regarding Jay Sin ... his movies are "automatic buy" in my case anyway but a trailer is always nice Cube Edited by - cubesnake on 1/24/2009 11:58:46 AM [Link] |
