Final project (phase one)

My digital portfolio will be about my pursuit of the career of movie director/screenwriter.  I am using a site called circlepad to create my website.  My home page will be about myself and why i want to achieve this goal. I will have a page for my portfolio, this page will have many of my short projects in video that I have helped me to learn about the field.  These include Short stories made in high school and college, small scenes set to movies, opening credits for a movie based on a reality T.V. show,  and After Effects special effects projects done at home.  Some of these examples are easier to access than others.  A video that I recently made is stored in a folder and labeled on my computer,  My high school projects however are only on a dvd and are no longer stored on my computer.  Using a program called handbrake, I began ripping the video and audio back off of my dvd and onto my computer so they can be uploaded onto my website.  As for my after effects projects, they are still on my computer, but in various places.  I performed a search of anything involving after affects, and many projects came up, however when i made the projects that turned out good or bad I did most of them mostly for the sake of practice and gave many of them obscure or irrelevant titles with no indication as to what they are.  So I've been opening and renaming dozens of "untitled's" and quite a few projects labeled something like "aklfjuwfghn" or "hhhhhhh".  Once I sorted the junk from the good, I began the tedious process of finding the projects in which some files have been moved or lost, and recovering and restoring them.  In some cases I couldn't.  once all of my projects are ready I will upload them to youtube and then link them to the portfolio page of my website.  I am also working on a page about exactly what a person in these careers does.  Needless to say this portion is giving me much less trouble than my portfolio portion.  I also plan on having my pln accessible from my webpage, and finally i will have a page citing my references.  It is a work in progress for the time being but hopefully with more time it will develop into a decent website.
