Other Flash Websites

Website One:


A stick figure in an intense battle with the flash toolbar-- this flash website was by far my favorite. I've seen this site many times before, but every time I watch it, I am amazed all over again. Not only is it an amazing idea carried out perfectly, it's funny and entertaining. And now that we all know how to use flash, we watch it with a different mindset. Watching it now makes us all think about how many layers that would take! How many keyframes with only slight movement variations it would take to make something this complex. This website is truly incredible. Check it out.


Website Two:


This website is really creative. It's basically shot in many different locations and shows these locations throughout the day. You first choose the location you'd like to see and then dial yourself around a clock to see the location throughout the day. You may go as fast or as slow as you like, allowing you to just capture the sense of the area, or to take it in slowly. The idea behind the website is simple, yet very effective. The shots are very controlled and very clear making it easy to understand. Check it out.


Website Three:
This website is similar to the one I just wrote about above. Here, you follow this woman through the process of her day. You can go in order, or choose hour by hour. Either way, you watch the sun come up, her alarm go off, she wakes up, and then... she goes along with her day. We follow her around the house, see her read the newspaper in the morning, look at some pieces of art, and come home that night. Although similar to the other website I wrote about, I don't like this one as much, but I still find it interesting. Check it out.
