Flashy Flash
| 6.03.2006
spend lots of time doing competitive research when embarking on a particular project. Currently, I'm at various stages on 5 different Flash-based demos. A few of them are quick running animations and others involve story-boarding, talent and soundtrack selection, studio time and a kick ass Flash guy. Prior to starting on any of these, I typically do hours of research for any analog ideas and features as well as inspiration. Sometimes I come across these sites via google searches, other times I dig around in Macromedia's Site of The Day bin and yet other times, my network of designer friends all share ideas on what's cool and hip.
Let me know what your favorite is.
Below are 3 Flash-based demos that are fresh, have an edge and are fun to watch...mostly...Thanks to Dave for a couple of these.
1. 10X10 - Uses RSS, XML and tags to make this the most dynamic news site on the web. Beautifully simple and technically elegant.
2. Shock Absorber - A great consumer-based Flash piece. Must have been a very interesting project to work on.
3. Philips Bodygroom - I have to give Philips lots of credit for not being afraid to add a little edge to their product demo.

Acquisition - Probably the slickest P2P file sharing application on the web. Beautiful and intuitive OSX-like interface. iPod Music Liberator-Great little shareware for copying music directly from your ipod into ITunes and your finder...No Stealing Bad Music! MusicPublisher - For those of us who are not content just sharing the songs within ITunes, this little app lets you also share any iPod you have docked to your computer as well.

well i am not sure what you are looking for.. but one of these things are not
like the other. between the body groom and the sports bra.. yikes. and yes i sent
you both of those. HA! The 10x10 site is pretty cool. I like the magnification
effect on the nav and how it is self contained. i must agree the body groom site
is pretty risky for them to do. personally i think it is great and it is nice to
see the envelope being pushed a bit. we dont see enough of that. i mean.. they
are selling a razor! make funny instead of jsut telling us it gives a close
shave. we have heard that all before.
did you see this? its pretty cool. enjoy.
