    It's by a company called Brain Farm. Looks like they're leveraging drone photography.

    The video won't play in Firefox on my machine.

    Wow.

    I just, wow.

    I tried to look at the source after getting car sick from the scrollbar ride and it locked up my machine, twice.

    Maybe a little warning next time to bring Dramamine?

      I saw something like this demonstrated in a Noble Desktop seminar maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Full site coded in one HTML page that shifted to selected content. Don't recall it weaving through the air, though. Just auto-scrolling horizontally or vertically depending upon which menu item was clicked on. Closer to, but more sophistocated than, the real-estate-hogging-information-deficient-one-pager templates currently popular in WordPress.

      I don't mind a bit of subtle scrolling, in one direction, up/down - as long as the scrolling does not become the main focal point of the entire website. Remember people go to a  wesbite mainly to get information, laid out in a clear, clean and logical fashion, not to be entertained like they were going to a circus or West End show. I think developers that need to use 'goofy' tactics are covering up for being bad developers and having little understanding of what is required. Unfortunately there are so many clients out there who seem to share their bad tastes.

      To me, this site really has the feel of the "Look What I Can Do!" development approach.

      Someone figured out something they, or (more likely) the client, thought was edgy or cool and took it to the nth, nausea inducing, degree.


      The individual pages (once the spinning stops) aren't terribly offensive and show a basic understanding of some design principles, however they completely ignored mobile and it's unusable from an iPhone.

        I hope whoever designed the page is not a pilot. Makes a case for barf bags.

          My 1st impression was total motion sickness.  I don't care how old or young you are, that can't be a good thing, can it?

          I don't know, maybe we are just old gits. I'd like to think I still have the ability to determine what is good and what is bad but as the saying goes 'one mans meat is another mans poison', always has been when it comes to making critical judgement of anything. You just gotta hope that your clients views are similar to that of your own...........otherwise there isn't a hope in hell the relationship is going to work out well. Either that or you have to hope you support the same football team, then anything looks good.

          A typical case where I see no value being added what so ever. To me it's just another poor solution in the mold of stack em high, sell em cheap. Stuff like this makes we want to vomit, its a case of trying too hard when less is usually more. I'm not keen on the background graphics, they look cheap. Not really my kind of bag but I guess someone must like it and think its well produced and  clever.

            Luckily enough you do not get the scroll on mobile devices, but then looking at the page on a desktop, definitely the future.

            I think I will recommend it to every Dw user

              So that's what they're doing to replace Flash websites nowadays...
