You're absolutely right about that - I would say that it's completely messed up, though. The camera does shift based on mouse movement, and the level of rotation is very minimal. I decided to do it this way to give it just enough amount of depth without fully distorting the content that was active at any time. Many changes were made in the design in order to adhere to the interactivity/functionality of the site. I think one of the biggest challenges of the camera movement was that we wanted to be able to traverse through the thumbnails in a way where we could position the "prev" and "next" buttons to be both close to the images and have the mouse rotate the interface enough so that the image(s) would tween in Z axis, but not necessarily look like it was going right towards the user. Adjusting the sensitivity of the screen may have affected the overall rotation in a negative way, but it definitely enhanced it for other interactions. In some situations, our client requested to slow down/lock rotation when rolling over certain UI elements such as scrollbars or buttons, or locking the movie to face 2D when playing a video. Nonetheless, I do agree, that it could probably use a bit more tweaking.

As for moving the mouse up and down, I'm now seeing the little glitch you're talking about. I'll definitely have a look into that - looks like the centerpoint is getting confused at times.

Nice. The only problem I found is with the movement of the camera tied to the mouse movement. The moving zone on the x axis is very very small, like 50 pixels from each side of the center, past that, the mouse has no effect on the camera, that’s a little strange, it causes the camera to shift from left to right really fast when you move your mouse on screen.

As for the rotation on the y axis, it’s just messed up. Just try slowly moving you mouse up and down, and the camera will do very weird things.

Vote on this past year’s best sports moments and see some behind the scenes content with Samuel L. Jackson at the upcoming ESPY awards show.

http://www.espys.tv/

It’s my first full site build utilizing the PV3D framework, so I’ll appreciate any criticism, no matter how harsh!

Key challenges
Creating an interesting way to deliver content in both English and Spanish, bound to a 1024x768 resolution with advertising space in mind.
Site was directed, designed and developed within a four week window.

Key benefits
I got to work with Samuel Jackson!

And many apologies in advance for the advertising that lies below the site.
