The FWA Theater is powered by the FiV Platform from Fantasy Interactive. Even though being an all-encompassing Flash site, this site feel truly light-weight and snappy. The drag-and-drop interface adds to this great user experience. What's more, it looks amazing, too. Clean, simple and still enough details to inspire. A very nice portal for high quality videos.

Our compadres over at Tank Design just launched their spiffy new Flashfolio. Slick transitions, clean surfaces and lots of whitespace add to the Scandinavian/Norwegian identity of the bureau. Their work deservers a closer look, of course. The only thing I'm not feeling about this one is the rather large download. But that shouldn't be a problem to most of their visitors.

Fantasy Interactive recently went and did the only sane thing they could do - they started focusing on web standards instead of all-encompassing Flash-sites. In their own words: "Today in Fi, you will only find Flash in places it needs to be and fits". They will continue to make all-flash microsites. But other than that, I think their work is going to be a lot more relevant from now on ... and a lot more inspiring. What's more, they're now "The Interactive Firm".

Nokia's attempt at an eco-phone seems like a joke to me. They're bragging about low power chargers, no needless paint, eco-friendly materials, etc. In my humble opinion the main thing they could, and should, do to become a greener company, is to make their phones last a lot longer. Instead they're trying to make them last less than a year. Corporate social responsibility, my ass. Now when I got all that off my chest, I'd like to point out that I think the campaign site accompanying this new phone is sweet. Very well done and made me want to learn more about this phone.

Here is a pure flashfolio gem. I truly love this one. The big bold type for navigation, the tasty colors, the work in the portfolio, the player interface. It all comes together and makes for a unique and blissful experience. It's simply stunning.

Being the final rounds of the Champions League season, it's perfect timing for showing off Nike's latest football site. Of course there's a lot of Flash on this site. Of course there's a lot of video there, too. There's definitely a bunch of marketing bullshit and big words. But still, the site is a beauty, the videos are extremely well made and it's all fun to browse through. I like it a lot, even though it's not my regular cup of tea. Thanks to Sandro for telling me about this one. P.S. No, it's not called soccer. That's just wrong.

Based in Santa Barbara, California, Sidekick Creative is a small agency who's been hard at work with their new flashfolio. Make sure to take a look through their work in the client list as well as the great sheep counting under 'Insomnia'.

Bleed's brand new portfolio site design for Norwegian architect superstars Snøhetta features a lot of flash, good use of urls, inspired navigation, beautiful details and project photos as well as a Where's Waldo-style photo of me and my family. A very well designed site that is done in Flash for all the right reasons. Thanks to Sandro for telling me about this one on Twitter.

Gene Smirnov is a Philadelphia based photographer who specializes in environmental portraiture, advertising campaigns and promotional music work. His brand new flashfolio invites the user to look through all his photos in a pretty package and a neat navigation. Nothing that couldn't have been done with javascript instead of Flash, but still a nice portfolio site. Via Computerlove.

A very impressive all-encompassing flashfolio from Barcelona's Dvein. I'm sure some will find this one a bit too impressive, making it a little too cpu/bandwidth hungry. I'm finding it to be a very successful use of Flash as far as experimental navigation goes. It really mesmerizes and works quite well. Via Reform & Revolution.
