Check out the balthaser studios site

This company specializes in commercial flash presentations for web sites and advertising. Some pretty cool stuff. Just let it load and run (don't hit the skip button) all the way through the credits. It will then begin repeating. Be sure to have your sound turned on. Some neat ideas that could be stolen, er borrowed, in PrEl for innovative videos.

Thanks for sharing, creative ad. The beginning with all of the words and phrases flashing in reminded me of a speed reading class from 6th grade. A little dizzy if you overused this.

It's kind of like this one

Yep Chuck, it's been a while since I've seen that video. The music is very similar style to the balhaser stuff, and also the video in the one section. Not quite so frenetic, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Believe it or not, that intro presentation is almost 10 years old. It's one of the very first Flash sites that inspired me back in the day. It was way ahead of its time obviously, because it still has an impact to this day.

Intros to websites are frowned upon today.

Incredible Ron. 10 years ago? I didn't know Flash existed 10 years ago. Back then nobody had DSL or cable either. How long would it take to download something like that on a 56.6k modem?

If I remember right, it was about 1MB total - maybe a tad more. And yes, you had to sit through the loading screen for a few minutes, but it was well worth it.

That was very clever and I can't believe it's ten years old. It's even more interesting because I'm in the process of learning flash CS3. I understand how they did most of it but I'm wondering how to do the 3D logo. Anyone know how that's done?
