The New RM Coming Soon…
A re-vamped ReelModels.com is coming soon, and by soon it could be as early as next week. It’s been a crazy/busy year to say the least. From ups and downs, to time consuming trips and other Digital Media Projects, it was very difficult and challenging to keep up. Around this time last year was when I started development work on ReelModels.com and then launched it into beta a few months thereafter. During the past year there have been many other things going on that took my focus away from this project as always, such as the web re-launch of JasonCaesar.com alongside “The Musical” EP…but still I continued to apply some minor features to RM.
Until now, things have been pretty calm. After returning from a long needed vacation to Florida, I decided to re-organize myself, catch up, lay out a new path and began working on the New ReelModels.com in mid September. Furthermore, January 2011 will be the 1 yr anniversary of when ReelModels.com went live into beta. I think the pressure of this also made me want to have the new RM ready before then.
After many iterations of various layout concepts I finally settled on one and began developement work on the site. Since I already had the original code base written, it was more about expanding the framework this time around and implementing a much cleaner and fluid design built for content. I’m proud of this release (though a little nervous), and some of the features I’m looking forward to in the next few weeks of deployment include: Model of the week showcases, gig listings, video reels, status updates and more RM Talk interviews.
