Flash!

I got back yesterday (very tired), but I have a few links for you.

Occasionally you hear about animation, usually done in flash, that is good enough to catch the attention of enough people to be of interest to the mainstream media. Most recently, JibJab did this with their mocking of US politics. While JibJab has a few great clips, they aren't the only producers of amusing animations. Another (relatively) well known clip is the Viking Kittens song (getting to be a bit old at this point, actually). The people who produced the Viking Kittens clip have also have some more (increasingly odd) animations on rathergood.com. Be sure to check out some of the older  ones. You may also be familiar with the Badger song, produced by someone going by the name of weebl. Weebl's website also had a bunch of good (also odd) clips, that you may enjoy next time you are bored. Of course, No survey of flash animation sites can be complete without mentioning AlbinoBlackSheep which is a blog/website collecting animations from a variety of animators. Be sure to check out their most popular and classics sections (at the bottom of this page).One of the animators that is occasionally seen on AlbinoBlackSheep currently goes by "Lemon Demon" and has some particularly good/popular songs. His site is here.

As with everything on the Internet, there are a bunch of other animators and indexing sites, but the above covers most of the bigger/better ones.

Happy Watching!
