Everything listed here is already up and available for members, so you can get an accurate idea of what's on the members page by reading the list of members content:

I had some tech issues uploadiung DVDs, besides, the filesizes are huge. So after a lot of frustrated effort, I decided instead to extract all the cool bits of the DVDs and upload them as MOV files instead of .ZIP or .VOB.
Some of the special features stuff is up already, the rest is in progress. So far, you can watch the "Troop 4: Uncensored,m pt. 3" VFX breakdowns and the extensive special features of "Send in the Clones 4".
-Scout PC game gallery. Two years ago I tried to make a PC game based on Troop 4. I never finished, but you can see the artwork I did here, both the 3d stuff and the cartoon stuff. I may complete it someday.
-Explorable University of Houston Disabilities Office. (They told me they'd put it on the web. They didn't. So I did.)
If you're not a member, you're missing out on much of the content available on this site!
The "members" page is is available through this address.
If you click it, you'll run into my secure password protection system. How do you get through it?
There are now four ways to become a member. I wanted it to be pretty easy for you guys to gain access to the members area, so I'm giving you a bunch of options.
VISIT HORNBOSTELMEDIA.COM |
If you have a website or a blog or Myspace/Xanga page, post it there. Message boards are O.K. too.
If you want to access the members content, it probably means you like my work and want to see more of it. If you like my work, you probably don't have too much of an issue with linking to it.
So just post a link to my website somewhere on the internet, and then e-mail me at matthornb@aol.com to tell me where you put the link. It doesn't have to be that flash link. It can be this simple image instead:
with an image link to www.HornbostelMedia.com, or alternately, for those of you who don't know all this HTML stuff, it can just be the text "HornbostelMedia.com", in a sentence posted somewhere. Like if you write, "There's a website called HornbostelMedia.com, that has a video about _______." that counts.
Once I look at where you posted the link and verify that you did so, I'll reply to your email with the username and password you need to access the members area. Make sense? O.K.
