Very cool site of a group of talented directors based in Hong Kong. Their videos are presented in an 3D anamorphic ‘ribbon’ of thumbnails, you can zoom in and pan around, and click on any part of the ribbon to view the videos. Really like the fluid ribbon, and the unique way the videos are presented, its a nice mechanism to play with – cool.

Great website of studio Hello Hikimori. Showcasing some really nice work, the site is a slick, stylish, and to-the-point, portfolio. Led by a young creative team this shows in their work – colourful, vibrant, and full of interactivity the 2008 showreel is a must see. The background animation is a 3d sound responsive flash piece – Very cool.
Site of events company Lumina Live, specialising in creating interactive events in art, music, design and fashion. Whats cool about this site are the 3d transitions and that it is open for the audience to create their own pixel artwork on the site, sequence music and so on – you can create an identity and view other peoples additions to the site. The 3d pixellated background provides a subtle backdrop to the various sections of the site – sit back and view the videos and artwork and so on from a distance!

Nice portfolio site of Danish agency Melmac. Nicely executed and easy to use portfolio of some good work, in particular the motion design section reveals some nice videos. Although done many times before, I like the full screen layout and the way each section and project is presented with fresh content with each click. Nothing ground breaking, just nice stuff!
Website of ‘MINT’ brazilian fashion agency. Showcasing shoots and magazine spreads, the 3D floating thumbnail navigation interface crops up again, controlled by the mouse wheel you zoom through the portfolio. The mouse controls the panning and tilt of your view and is nicely done. Lots of nice transitions and effects make this an enjoyable experience. Nice photos too…

Interesting site of Brazilian agency Keal. Nice take on the panning & scrolling navigation interface – the menu is also inlcuded which quite cool. Some good work too, nice touches and attention to detail, clean, crisp and modern.
Nice site of Danish design company DesignBolaget. Presented in an interesting way, the items of work are scrolled along, and enlarged – nothing ground breaking but fun, structured well and it looks good. Nice rollovers, navigation and style.
DVEIN – an art direction, motion & interactive studio. This is their site, using a nice navigational concept whereby the work is displayed via a rotating stack of images and videos. I like the way the work is presented and just the general ‘to the point’ approach adopted, clean and stylish it shows their best work well. There are some really great pieces of work too – I remember seeing the tocame work before and being very impressed. Check it out…
Really cool website for The Vacuum Design. You float around their portfolio in 3D, demonstrating their style of work. There are some really great sites and motion design showcased here. A great 3D website where the form really adds to the design – nice concept and nice design.
Website of Whitevoid Art & Design, an agency that specialises in various interactive disciplines. A really clean, fluid 3d interface; very simple and enjoyable to use. I really like the concept – and feel its a really nice use of 3d – kept simple and to the point.
Smart Flash blog for Pill & Pillow. Great example of a good Flash blog, really simple to use, it looks good, and works well. I like the way the posts appear on stage, and how the content changes to fit the browser window. There is some great content as well.
Really slick site for 2929 Productions – an independant film production company. The site looks great and has some really great transitions – nothing ground breaking – just looks & works great.

Pretty nice portfolio website of Switch Mediaworks. I’ve included this due to the amount of innovative rollovers and basic interactions that have been re-thought – its refreshing to see conventions of user interactions have been questioned. Nice slick animations and transitions. Particularly like the way rollovers are highlighted and the videos are introduced.
Website of a design & innovation consultancy. Slick 3D navigation interface, and lots of nice touches. In particular the way you navigate images and drill down into the various sections. Text appears in a unique way with lots of movement and nice attention to detail.
