Movie-Vault.com Development Update #3
October 26, 2009 Posted by Tyler CruzIt’s been another week-and-a-half since I last gave an update as to the status of Movie-Vault.com’s revamp development, so I thought I’d give you guys an update on what’s been going on.
Work has mostly focused on fixing small bugs and making small changes here and there, although there were a number of larger new features implemented.
It looks as though we might be able to relaunch on November 1st, but a lot of it will depend on how smooth the forum bridge and integration goes, as that could potentially be a bit difficult to implement.
Here’s another screencast video I made showing what new progress has been made on the site. This time I made notes beforehand in order to make the screencast a bit more organized, which also helped reduce the length of this video to 13 minutes (as opposed to 28 minutes for the last one):
As you can see, the site is really coming along now and looks just about to be complete, but there’s still a number of more things to be done. At its present stage, I’d say it’s around 90% complete.
I contacted one of my old contacts at one of the marketing firms that does work for film studios, and already have a little contest lined up for when the site launches next week. We’ll be giving out five official 2-disc soundtracks for the upcoming film by Focus Features, Pirate Radio, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman.
I haven’t decided what type of contest I’m going to run, but I’ll probably make it pretty simple such as some type of Twitter follow or re-tweet contest.
I had kept procrastinating and putting off this much-needed revamp to Movie-Vault.com for about 5-years now, so it feels good to have finally done it.

Looking good Tyler! Good luck with the re-launch.
I can’t wait to see the final product and test the capabilities. The contest sounds good as well.
What would be the primary monetization technique you would use for this site, tyler?
Wow looks awesome can’t wait to see it when it is completely done.
I wonder what type of prizes you’ll have for the contest. 😀 Maybe a Blu Ray player since its a movie site? 😀

“We’ll be giving out five official 2-disc soundtracks for the upcoming film by Focus Features, Pirate Radio, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman.”
Just figured I’d let people know that “Pirate Radio” is the name the British film “The Boat That Rocked” was released under in the US.
And for once, America actually has the better title.
I was wondering what Pirate Radio was. We call it ‘The Boat That Rocked’ in Australia too.
Looks like it all is going well Tyler.
Congratulations. It looks like thing are coming along fine. I look forward to seeing the finish product.
great looking site.. i love the color of the site.. nice work tyler…

Its almost there. Good luck and congrats with the site
It’s getting even better and better. %90 done?it looks already perfect yet you need to it some more? this is really amazing forum.
I’m sure this site will be great. A movie website can grow into such a huge collection of content, It is easy enough to monetize it with affiliate programs or direct advertising.
wow its look amazing I love this post. Great ideas here for blog sections. Also I wanted to say that I really enjoy the look and feel of your blog.great looking site.. i love the color of the site
