Is now over. I came home late last night by train after having attended FlashVision 2006. My presentation went very well – I think. Later a video of the entire conference/award show will be posted on the website. I hope to have a segment of it (the part featuring me) posted here. Also, both my collegue, Morten Reinholdt, and the hosts took a lot of pictures – some of which I will post here as well.

After my presentation, Ola Bergnar gave an insight into how he created very amazing 3d-like (and yet nothing like 3d) animations using very simple masking techniques in Flash 8. It was quite insightful and interesting.

Later, the actual award show started. Bitman won the award for Best Branding and Best Animations, Thomas Helmig.dk won for Best Experimental, and the iForm running route planner won for Best Rich Internet Application. Overall, the nominees displayed some very exciting usage of Flash.

It was a very nice event put together by the good FlashVision team. I do hope, that they will keep it up as an annual event, and that it will have even better attendance next year – both for nominees, but also regarding turnout for the event itself.

As for my presentation, full source of ODP, Flash files and class files will be published later today – when I’ve just had some time to correct minor errors, insert missing comments and add the proper license.
