New Site Design, More Features Coming

I have updated the site with a brand new look! Here is what is new:
- A new site layout, design, and banner. Give your opinion on the new look with the poll on the sidebar.
- We now have a channel on YouTube. Many of the videos that are on this site will be uploaded to it. This is simply to bring you an alternate way of watching, so please subscribe!

There are more updates that will be rolled out through the next couple months. Here's a few of the new features coming soon:
- You will be able download all videos on the site in a .zip file containing the videos. All downloadable videos are encoded in the .mp4 container, which means they can be put on your iTunes and Mac hardware.
- The video player will be upgraded to the most recent version, which has HTML 5 capabilities. That means the videos will now be playable on your iPod/iPhone/iPad, and will work smoother on newer web browsers.
- Many new videos will be posted in the next few weeks. Our first ever DVD will be released soon, which is an entire show. We also have extra footage of the Third Season music video, the director's cut of the Leaving Song Pt. II music video, an entire live Blaqk Audio show, a bunch of interviews, and new full live shows.

An AFIvids.com Concert Series?

I wanted to get everyone's opinions on an idea I had. I noticed that people don't seem to record entire shows anymore. I don't want to post singular song clips on here, I want the entire concert. What a lot of people do is record a couple songs, or a few minutes on their digital cameras.

So that got me thinking, if everyone sent me those clips that they made, I could put together an entire show using those clips. If you went to a show, recorded any video at all, you would upload it somewhere, and then send me the links to my email. Then I would edit them all together, and post it here on the site. I would want the original files, not YouTube links.

Do you think that is a good idea, and would you be willing to send me your clips? Please give your feedback. -Mark

Update: For the first series, I would like to do the San Diego show from December 13th. If you recorded any video, please send me the links to tooshytoscream@gmail.com - Thanks!

Videos Back Up; Updated Player

All of the videos are now back up and running! I have also updated the video player, which means that you can now watch all of the videos in fullscreen. There is a new poll, please vote on that as well. More videos are going to be posted very soon, so stay tuned.
