I've just released a small side project website that came from an idea I had with a buddy during our plan ride to SXSW Interactive.
It's supposed to be a gimmicky and easy way to find motion designers. Basically, you can upload "reels" and people can view random ones and vote on ones they like. It's kind of like Chat Roulette, except with no penises (so far).
You can read more about the making of the site here:

The thing that makes me happy about this site is that it was built in about 30 hours of work between 3 people. I know it's nothing too special and has plenty of room for improvement, but people seem to be enjoying it so far.
I'd love to hear any ideas you may have about improving the site, and I'm pondering potential ways to make money from the thing without spoiling it. It's been fun as-is, but it would be nice if we could justify spending more time on it than we already have by way of making some cash.
Any feedback is more than welcome. Thanks!
- CPops 17y agoReelroulette is attractive and usable and makes sense for the motion design niche. Good work for a limited time investment. Though, I can think of some useful features (more voting features, view all submissions, commenting, etc) PS: If I owned this URL, I might use it to do something chatroulette related while there's still a thousand and one opportunities. But good on getting involved in what you enjoy doing. Good luck trevorturk.
