Maybe less than two weeks. I rushed through this because my friend was desperately waiting for it and I needed to get it out of the way as a portfolio item.
It's still quirky and incomplete. IN FACT he says the video doesn't work in Safari 4. Can someone verify that for me?
Also, thoughts on it? I find it somewhat middling but "good enough".

Hey Carlos,
That ain't no site to be ashamed of.
Of course, the awesome photos do a lot for the site. I like the way you've displayed them very much, especially on the home page - that looks great.
On the bio page, the text doesn't stay inside the photo+text frame (at least in my browser, on my netbook.) Maybe you did that on purpose - it also happens on the gallery page, but there it looks cool. Less so on the bio page, I find.
Really like the way the demo reel is displayed, and also the nice lettering of the short quote at the bottom of every page.
What I'm not crazy about, though it isn't ugly by any means, is the navbar on the home page. It looks like not much attention was paid to it. I think it could work the way you do it, which is a very basic way. Could be cool, but I think it needs a little more work. Perhaps making the lettering come out more? Right now it looks vague. Maybe making the font just a little smaller, and just a little whiter?

Cool, I'll take a second look at the navbar. Perhaps that text in there doesn't read to well as a whole. I'll see what I can do.
When the demo reel loads, does it load slowly? I can't tell if my use of Jquery Drop Shadow combined with the thickbox slows everything down when you load the demo reel.
Also, the text is outside the that light colored frame? It shouldn't be like that. What browser are you using? Thanks for your response!

Hey Carlos,
The demo reel loaded fine for me - and I'm on a crappy, slow connection, so I'd have to suppose it loads fine for everyone.
Yes, the text (and the gallery pics on the Gallery page) on the Bio page leaks out. I remember from the days I made websites from scratch, that this sort of thing can be totally an issue with a certain browser combined with a certain screen size.
My browser is mainstream: Firefox 3.0.14 (latest, I think.) But I'm on a netbook, and they have a small screen size. I can scroll down, of course. But maybe a netbook does make things look less good. If it only happens on netbooks, I wouldn't worry about it - a lot of sites look not so great on netbooks, I'm sure most netbook users realize that.
Good luck again,
Charlotte
