Here are some of my favourites from the thefwa.com and a short description about what they're about.

1) http://scruffs-game.com/ (26th Feb 2008)

This is a highly-flash orientated point and click game about a family known as the Scruffs. The idea of the game is to find out what Grandpa's secret is by searching the family home. A download is required for the full game. The music in particular is one of the stand-out features of this website as it completely sets the mood for the kooky and cartoony atmosphere of the game. Each section of the website has its own music and interactive element - for example on the screenshots page hovering your mouse over a fly on the desk causes it to buzz, then you have the option to splat it!

2) http://imagemoversdigital.com/ (7th Feb 2008)

The website to film creative 3D studio Image Movers Digital - the masters behind films Polar Express, Monster House, Beowulf and the upcoming Christmas Carol, which uses performance capture technology starring Jim Carrey, due for release at Christmas 2009. This site is nice and simple and gives you what the average internet browser needs to know and nothing more. The page simply contains the links "About IMD", "Projects", "News", "Careers" and "Contact" so its the simplicity and cleanliness of this flash site which I like.

3) http://www.coca-cola.com/template1/index.jsp?locale=en_US&site=../happiness_factory/index.html (31st Jan 2008)

Home to the short movie behind the 3D animated Coke adverts which you have seen on TV or at the cinema. The Happiness Factory is where Coke is made, and when you put your monies in lots of wierd and wonderful creatures do whatever it takes to make sure you get the best Coke taste! The animation of this movie is brilliant and the style of it remind me a bit of the music video for 'Starlight' by The Superman Lovers a few years back. You then get the chance to apply to work for the factory and get to interact with the different types of workers to see what they do. Its quite amusing. Who knew burping was a good thing?
