5: NEOSTREAM Interactive

This is a great multimedia company with very good animations. The preloader is cool to look at and when it’s over, the fun really begins. The main shape on the page waits when you press a button, but it’s really fun to wait a second and hit the shape with the mouse several times. If you’re ready (after a few minutes of pressing), hit a button and watch all the different animations. Due to the nice animations, I had to click all the links one by one. A very nice flash website that deserves a number 5 spot.

4:2 Advanced Studies

Who does not know this website. I guess this is the most discussed website ever. Maybe most people think this is number 1, but I think differently because they didn’t update the graphics on the site for a long time. I think they need a new update with a completely new style and design. Still, the idea and the graphics are fabulous. Also, the scripts behind it are advanced and very well done. It loads very fast for a huge site like this. I love this one, definitely a number 4 position in my top 5 flash websites ever.

3: I am Studies

Yes, a Dutch company on the list. Welcome to iamstudios.nl, a truly original concept and design. When you enter the website, you see a fun 3D animation of a dog with a speaker. After clicking the button you use to enter the flash website, the dog starts to animate (very smooth). When the site loads, each button gives you a wonderful animation. I really love the 3D work here and the beautiful “white” look. I am very proud that this site comes from the Netherlands. The overall look is very impressive so a number 3 for this little dog.

2: DerBauer Audiovisual Media

Welcome to DerBauer, a Marcus Bussejahn website. This classic website is one of the best websites I’ve ever seen, actually THE BEST, but unfortunately I don’t really like the latest design. Especially the menu doesn’t look very good in my opinion. 5 years ago derbauer was unique and original. Nowadays there are much better ones but for its history and quality it is sure to be number 2. By the way, when you opened the site, there is an Easter egg when you do nothing for a few minutes, very good! Are you afraid?

1: MGM Great Entertainment

I know… this site is not famous and you may not like it, but I think this site is so original that I had to put it at number one. Enter the world of MGM Grand. Press the “Enter Maximum Vegas” button and start the tour. This is not really a flash animation site, but a flash video site. With Adobe Flash 8 and later, it’s easy to embed videos on your website. MGM did it in a special way. They recorded a video animation and played it back. You can stop the video with the navigation in the bottom right corner. When you do that, the video fast forwards to the given location and stops it there. Then the flash animation comes into place and you can read the information. I never saw this concept before. This is my best site, a really 2008 website made with the latest technology available for websites these days.
