Cool uses of Flash video.. a trip down memory lane

I first discovered Flash video for a project at my former employer, and blogged about it. Nowadays whether its Youtube, video blogs, Presidential Campaign or just a regular website it seems like you can't visit a site without seeing embedded web video. 99% of the time it's done using Flash Video - FLV format.

Overtime i've collected some links to a list of cool uses of Flash video. Below are some highlights and descriptions of stuff that’s been created with Flash video especially using the chroma key/green screen technique.

Some of these are a little dated, but I still like them all the same:

• Imagine this kind of demo as another helpful layer of navigation for client websites:
• Investment firm Janus has some great home page Flash video and a nice multi-video interface in their page headers
• Ektron’s CMS demo, a little cheesy but the zooming is cool
• Geico Caveman - I love these commericals, imagine this concept for virtual tour:
• Nice video console
• I don't know if you watch MythBusters, but Discovery Channel has a nice video gallery done with Flash
• This is an awesome Flash video example for a popular European deodorant brand, a little raunchy:
• I like how they customized the interface and link to different movies from within it
• Clean interface
• Elmbrook Church
• World Trade Center - Build the Memorial
• Original Macromedia Studio 8 demo (now Adobe overview of Flash video):
