FRONTIER SOCIETY MEMBER C. A. PASSINAULT BLOG Monday, February 18, 2008 - 6:23 PM - C. A. Passinault Official Blog Entry Limping Along While Running Well, I am still
working hard on web sites and updates, so I will keep this brief. 1.
Aurora PhotoArts Tampa Bay photography and design. 2.
Eos MediaArts advertising agency web site launched. 3.
Model Photography Site launched. 4.
Another photography site launched.... perhaps. 5.
Tampa Bay Talent sites updated and moved to new directories. Well, that’s it for now. Gotta run and get it done. Nolan's Best Friend ... Foreeeavooooor!
Friday, February 8, 2008 - 7:19 PM - C. A. Passinault Official Blog Entry Revolution Building It has been a
busy week. I have been working a lot, and spent a lot of time working
on sales, marketing, and service contracts for my photography and design
services company, Aurora PhotoArts. 1.
The Second Tampa Modeling War Is Coming The last modeling war consisted
of educating models and lawsuits against scams. The new one will be about
making money while models are being educated and helped. 2. Two More Web Sites I turned my sportscar into
a mobile Internet console the other night. I worked on the Internet from
the cockpit of my car, an optical mouse on the center console, keyboard
over my lap, and the monitor projected onto my windshield. It worked great.
I have been doing a lot of driving and using the Internet from my car
lately, and have come up with some creative ways of doing things this
way. At this point, working the Internet from my car is more comfortable
and more effecient than working in the studio. 3. My Return To The Screen Ah, my indie film concept.
I always thought that my return to DJ'ing as DJ Frontier would actually
involved DJ'ing. It won't be that way. My return to being an underground,
revolutionary DJ will have little to do with actual DJ'ing (at first),
and will explore the character and the adventures of my alter ego. I have
never seen being a DJ as a job, or even a simple career, but more as a
lifestyle. This is what the series will be about. Well, I have to run. I have
to call some models back; i have some shoots to schedule and will be attending
the fair with a group of my model/ actor / talent friends next week. Expect
some great pictures and video from our adventure.
Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 6:43 AM - C. A. Passinault Official Blog Entry Spring Break Well, I've been
able to bring my Blog back online after taking it down for a few weeks.
I have, however, disabled the links to the archive for now. Web Site Classes All classes utilize CSS templates for upgrade capability and are flash/ multimedia capable. Index Class: Not really a class; more like a list. Usually classified as blogs, and can layout a lot like a Frontier Class. Most Index Class sites transition to Frontier Class sites once developed. Raptor Class: Designed to fight talent scams and act as talent resource sites. Raptor Class sites have a title bar on the top, image thumbnails below that, and a navigation menu on the left margin. Ads take up the right margin and the bottom of the pages. The current model, which went online in December 2007, is the Raptor 3. The Raptor 3 leaves behind the DHTML tables (which look like frames) of the Raptor 1 and the Raptor 2 and add advertising. The Raptor 3 also increases the size of the image thumbnails and incorporates Venus Class features for photography services marketing. Raptor 3 sites can be upgraded with Flash and multimedia features. Designed to be the standard until at least 2010. Diana Class: One of the oldest classes which are still around (The Aurora PhotoArts site had this format when it became operational, and changed to it's current Venus Class site in 2006). Utilizes DHTML tables for a content / frame layout without the search engine issues frames pose. Diana Class sites came into use in 2004 and were our main site design class in service until 2007. The navigation menu is on the left margin and the page title image stack is nested next to the navigation menu. Site content is in a DHTML scrolling window to the right, and banner ads can be added at the bottom. Diana Class sites will be made available as a general, inexpensive web site format for Eos MediaArts web design services clients, so expect to see them around for some time. Diana Class sites are named after an Orlando fashion model who taught me a lot about photography back in the day, making me the photographer who I am today. Venus
Class: Specifically designed as a photography / design
services marketing web site for Aurora PhotoArts. A second Venus Class
site will be launched for Tampa advertising agency Eos MediaArts. The
site utilized DHTML tables for a frame-like layout, and is laid out a
like a frame of film. Venus Class sites have a title bar on the top, a
row of thumbnails (usually 16) below that, a site content section next,
followed by another row of thumbnails and text/ banner content. The site
content section in the middle consists of a image stack on the left margin
and text/ section menu content on the right. The format is designed to
server clients who don't want to read and only want to look at pictures,
clients who want to read, and SEO efforts (the SEO is about to become
enhanced). Castaway Class: A simple web site design with text-based navigation menus. The site layout consists of a title bar on the top, text navigation below that, an image file in the middle left margin, and content in the middle. Ads take up the right margin parralel to the content. Like most Eos sites, the text menus repeat on the bottom. Frontier Class: One of the newest site classes, designed to augment the Athena Class sites. Frontier Class sites drop the DHTML scrolling layout tables for a general whole-page content layout. Frontier Class sites have a top row of support site navigation buttons, a title bar below that, and a graphic navigation bar next (usually 7 buttons). The content section has ads on the left margin and content parallel to the ads. Text menus, support content, and banners are below the content section. Frontier Class sites have lots of category-based "breadcrumb" links and are designed for large amounts of information in unlimited categories. Unlike the older Athena Class sites, there is no need for separate image, content, and print page templates. Although the layout is not as tight as an Athena Class site, the simpler layout does have a few advantages in certain situations. Frontier Society, Advanced Model, and the official DJ Frontier sites are slated for this design class, although the DJ site may be done as a Revo or different class once launched. I am planning on adding a site search engine to the Frontier Class web site in the next upgrade so it matches the Athena Class in search capabilities. Revo Class: In development for 2008. Revo, which is short for "revolution", is an advanced web site design class designed for entertainment businesses. The Revo Class is being specifically designed for Passinault.Com, and will consist of flash, databasing, and multimedia components. Later this year, Passinault.Com will lose it's current Diana Class site and will be relaunched with the first Revo Class site. Advancements from Revo will be applied to Mosaic Class sites and will retroactively be applied to the older site classes in their next versions. Huey Class: The Huey Class site design was completed back in 2006, but was put on ice until recently. The web site is a lot like hybrid of a Venus Class and Diana Class site, with a very compact layout. There is a graphic menu (usually 7 buttons) on the top, a title bar below that, and a large image on the left margin below that. To the right of the image is a top thumbnail bar (usually 10), with a scrolling DHTML content table below the thumbnails. The Huey Class site design was used to develop the new Raptor 3 format, with the thumbnail specs ported to the Raptor upgrade. Huey Class sites were named in honor of Orlando / Atlanta photographer Craig Huey. Canova
Class: Designed to be compatible with the Raptor
Class sites, the first Canova Class site was brought online in October
2007 for the Tampa Film Showcase, a monthly film festival and networking
event series scheduled to debut later this year. Canova Class sites have
ads on the left margin. To the right of the ads are a title bar on the
top, graphic menu buttons (usually 7) below the title bar, and a thumbnail
strip below that (a port of the Huey Class standard of 12 to 13 thumbnails
sized 50 X 50 pixels). Below the thumbnails is a content section, which
does not utilize any DHTML tables and is laid out much like a Frontier
Class site in that section. Below the content section are the usual text
menu, support content, and banner content. Canova Class sites are named
in honor of Tampa pop-culture fan Nolan Canova, and are optimized for
event / visual services marketing and support. The Tampa Film Showcase
Canova Class site will have some cool additions when the event series
debuts, which are currently under wraps (hint: these features pioneered
by the Tampa Bay Film Raptor Class site). Mosaic Class: In development. Mosaic Class sites are designed to be the next generation of visual marketing sites (photography and design), and will include flash, multimedia, databasing. and music components. The site design will utilize PHP for image shuffle capability and display flexibility. While it is too soon to tell if this new class will replace the Venus Class web sites, it is designed to address the same market, and advancements from this class will be retroactively applied to the next versions of the Venus and other site classes. Blade Photography, a division of Aurora PhotoArts, will be the first to have this high tech site. Athena Class: Athena Class sites were designed for information resource sites. There are ads on the left margin. To the right of the ads, you have a title bar and site support navigation buttons, main menu graphic buttons below that, and a content section below that. The content section has a image file stack to the right of the ads, and a DHTML scrolling content table to the right of the image stack. There is a google search box below the image stack, and the usual text menu content support on the bottom. Athena Class web sites are compatible with the newer Frontier Class sites. The first Athena Sites became operational in 2005, and are just now being used, with the launch of two more.
Tampa Bay Film - Raptor Class : All directories will be switching from the Tampaserver domain name to it's main domain name in February 2008. Updates will be light until late spring, and updates to the old Tampaserver directories will cease. For current updates, go through the main domain name of TampaBayFilm.Com. Tampa Bay Film had an incredible year last year and was the fastest growing Tampa Bay Talent site. It currently enjoys record traffic. Tampa Bay Modeling - Raptor Class: All directories will be switching from the Tampaserver domain name to it's main domain name in February 2008. Updates will be light until late spring, and updates to the old Tampaserver directories will cease. For current updates, go through the main domain name of TampaBayModeling.Com. Tampa Bay Acting - Raptor Class: All directories will be switching from the Tampaserver domain name to it's main domain name in February 2008. Updates will be light until late spring, and updates to the old Tampaserver directories will cease. For current updates, go through the main domain name of TampaBayActing.Com. Tampa Bay Acting has sadly been lacking content, and has been barely operational for the last year. This will change, as the site is important and will be assisting Tampa Bay Film a lot this year. Tampa
Bay Photographers - Raptor Class: Will launch
as a new Raptor site in summer 2008. Will be maintained fully under TampaBayPhotographers.Com,
with no old Tampaserver files to phase out. Upon Launch, will be the most
advanced Raptor Class web site, and may be an enhanced, cutting-edge Raptor
4. Independent Acting - Athena Class: Will be splitting from Independent Modeling, moving to new directories under it's domain name. Expect few updates until summer, as the move will take time. Independent Performer - Athena Class: Will be splitting from Independent Modeling, moving to new directories under it's domain name. Expect few updates until summer, as the move will take time. TALON (Talent Online Reference Contact Database) - Athena Class: Will be splitting from Independent Modeling, moving to new directories under it's domain name. Unlike the others splitting from Independent Modeling, this will see a ton of updates, as it serves as a back-end for Independent Modeling. Talent Audition Database - Athena Class: A completely new Athena Class site, this will combine the Talent audition, model job, and production professional job boards of Independent Modeling and the other Independent talent sites. This will see massive updates, as it will be a complex job board for all of the Independent Sites, and will use the TALON site as a back-end. Frontier Society - Frontier Class: You can expect to see the most updates on Frontier Society. I have not had much time to post content to this site since launch, and it will soon get what it needs. a lot of the content already exists. Tampa Casting - Castaway Class: Won't be doing much for a few months. Expect updates this fall, as it will tie into a high profile project. Tampa Film Showcase - Canova Class: Won't update much until the debut of the event series. When it does update, it will be really cool and will see some heavy, regular updates. This site is a full partner of Tampa Bay Film, and is a co production of Tampa Bay Film and Eventi Events. Tampa Film Blog - Index Class: Still needs work, and will start updating this spring. It will include all of the Tampa Bay Film updates when it is finished. I'm still learning Wordpress, and I am finding it to be a weird way to publish content online. Tampa Talent Scams - Index Class: Scheduled to update this spring. It may be relaunched as a Raptor Class site, and is designed to be a supercharger for the Tampa Bay Talent sites. Advanced Model - Frontier Class: As a project of Independent Modeling, expect regular updates when the modeling book and the magazine are ready. This will be brought up to speed once Independent Modeling is where it needs to be. Aurora PhotoArts - Venus Class: Since it will be changing servers and directories in February, I get the rare opportunity to add some advanced SEO technology to it and improve the directories. This is a fresh start that the site has been needing since 2000. Tampa Looks - Not a web site itself: Ties into the Aurora PhotoArts site, and is a radio, television, and print advertising-friendly domain name for the Aurora PhotoArts web site. Could you imagine the people being confused as they try to remember AuroraPhotoArts.com when they are exposed to a commercial? This is why this domain name exists, and is a clue to what is coming. Blade Photography - Mosaic Class: Will launch this summer! A division of my very successful Aurora PhotoArts, but marketed differently. This is purely a photography services company focusing on model portfolio photography, swimwear modeling photography, and glamour modeling photography. This work will be my "tasteful and sexy" photography. I intend to compete with the glamour photographers with Blade Photography, and the site will have the flash that this market expects. Developing a portfolio for this company is the reason that I will be photographing a lot of swimwear and bikini models this year, as well as doing more studio work. Due to my limited schedule, these shoots will be with multiple models and will be a team effort (it has been a year since I last did this because I have been busy making money shooting models and talent). Eventi Events - Diana Class: Will be moving servers and to new directories under it's domain name. Expect updates this summer. Eventi Events was started in 1990 as a DJ company, and it has been making money far longer than anything else that I have going on; I made a lot of money with it over the years and have a ton of event production equipment. Eventi Events is the core Passinault.Com company, and this will become more important than Aurora currently is. Eventi will be our busiest company in 2009. Eventi Stage - Diana Class: Will be moving servers and to new directories under it's domain name. Expect updates in late 2008. Dream Nine Studios - Diana Class: Already moved to a new server, and the directories are now under it's domain name. The results of the move have been impressive. Expect updates this fall as the first indie films, video games, and music projects are unveiled. Eos MediaArts - Venus Class: The latest Venus Class site, and the new web site for my Tampa advertising agency Eos MediaArts. Almost finished, and will be up shortly. Eos is very important, and will drive a lot of commercial business to both Aurora PhotoArts and Eventi Events in 2009. For 2008, expect services to start with web site design, SEO, and marketing support. Passinault.Com - Diana Class: Will be moving servers in February. Expect updates in summer 2008 when the new Revo Class site comes online. For now, it is just sitting there, with no recent updates. Tampa Hub - Index Class: I don't know what I will be doing with this domain directory at the moment. I need to keep it up to support the old Talent site directories until the move of the sites takes. Expect this to be maintained every year until at least 2012. DJ Frontier - Frontier Class: This will be up this fall. It will be my DJ and fan site when I return to DJ'ing later this year. Could be another site class when it is created. FRONTIER SOCIETY: SOCIETY HAS EVOLVED Established in 1993 by DJ Frontier and his associates UPDATED 02/18/08
