Commercials at that point didn’t really have anything made in Flash and so to begin with it was mostly tv work.

Which is just great to see. And the quality over the years, in terms of animation, has just got better and better.

“If you build it, they will come”. The flash community collectively have put in a lot of hard work pushing this software and now that hard work’s starting to pay off.

So I guess you can say the ball (or the DVD) is in their court...
