A good friend of NoD and Flash guru Chris Georgenes has just authored another of the super popular “How to Cheat” series. We are giving away a copy of his new book How To Cheat In Adobe Flash CS5. To win the book, post a link below to your favorite example of flash animation. The animation does not have to be yours, just one you like.
We’ll pick a winner on Monday and announce it here.
Also, check out this interesting video interview with Chris Georgenes over at the Sessions College website where he teaches Flash Animation.
I love the little animation under the Asian menu of Noodles & Company’s website: http://www.noodles.com/

Example of my favorite flash animation.
I don’t think this is gonna count since I just realized it’s also by Chris, but I love the little dog with his head in the bubble on http://www.mudbubble.com :)
i love this personal web designer site.
http://www.stephaneguillot.com :)
it’s fun and keeps you interested to click and look around.
its a designer’s inspiration for making your own resume website. :D
Bebop Jeans has a beautifully done website. The animated transitions between pages are gorgeous. http://www.bebopjeans.com/
I think this little music video animation is very well done.

This is older, but I still consider it cutting edge Flash work.

Thanks for the comments!
We have selected Dianne’s suggestion of Stephen Guillot’s portfolio site: http://www.stephaneguillot.com/index_uk.htm
It’s a fun use of Flash that makes exploring the world and work of Stephen irresistible.
We’ll email you Dianne for your address so we can mail you the book!
Mary is right, we could not use http://mudbubble.com because that’s the author’s site, although it’s a blast to navigate around. You’ve got to watch Chris’ kids singing We Wish You a Merry Christmas: http://www.mudbubble.com/holiday07/xmas07_web.html
Definitely my favorite for it’s style and animation!
I only saw the series when it first started and came out on newgrounds.com years ago, so I’m excited to explore this website and see the series and other movies he’s created.
I highly suggest for you, no matter who you are, to take a second and watch it.
