im being totaly honest,
i think its rubbish,
very unprofessional,
music is crap, no need for it, sounds more like a power point presentation,
boreing, images, same text, same effects, and the font is just to plain,
the site its self is very basic also i feel,
like i say im just being honest,

Don't take this the wrong way but the text looks a bit rubbish...
It's all abit dull - bit slow and boring... If I gotta watch that every time I view the site or press skip I'll always press skip...

This is a 5 minute job of an intro I did for a college project. I'm not saying this is good as I feel its very scrappy and rather crap myself - but considering your paying someone to do your intro I'd expect better mate.
just my 2 cents.

nice - but I hate swish  So many sites with swish being used... it's just like 'lets use all the effects we can in no set order', coz basically it gives anyone the power to add flash to their site, same way you find all these sites full of tacky java scripts

i agree , but use can use the coding option in swish to cut it about as you want it , so you stil use swish features but you cut n shut to your preffs

to be honest redsxi's intro looked like it was made in swish ... if u look at the blue horizon autotek thing - how all the text falls into the word - typical swish thing...
It wouldn't of been that bad if he had used a better font / different fonts... just that arial narrow or whatever stinks.

Intro looks very basic - like Paul's said, it's pure Swish tat.
It's a nice slideshow of a lot of PVD products - even nice to see the BFO cone in there...

yes , it is supprising how font / movement can change the whole perspective of the design

yeh there was alot more to it - their old one was showing what they could do, their current one is just showing what they have done.

Even normal products are made cool in their intros - they have an 'aliveness' about them. The fact that 1 guy actually creates the music specifically for their intros its a great sync'ing of on screen events with sound. Also the graphics guy is a genius!

have to agree, it look like a 1999 intro, to some dodgy car shop.
http://www.xeofreestyle.com/ has some well tidy flash on it.
Personally i hate intros, but if you are gonna make people look at one it has gotta be summat special, otherwise your really best not to have it at all.

exactly - intro's are good once, but get annoying if u keep returning. Having said that though xeofreestyle intro's are a pleasure to watch and listen to.

There should be a "skip intro" link that's not part of the flash movie - that way people that are tired of waiting for the shit to load the first frame can skip straight past.
