The Moscow-based team at Toonbox recently produced this Flash-animated spot for Microsoft. It’s a promotion for Windows 7, their latest operating system that’s received rave reviews.

UK-based Andy Sykes has planned some activities for you. He’s bundled these together along with some linework into a self-published release he calls the Hexjibber Colouring and Activity Book (for those of you not familiar with that wacky British version of the English language, “colouring” is a word that essentially means “coloring,” or something close to that).

Hornet Inc’s Dan & Jason recently tried their luck in the realm of lottery ads.

Titmouse Inc’s Edward Artinian directed and animated this spot below, which promotes the new Brutal Legend video game from Electronic Arts. The heavy-metal game features the voice and likeness of Jack Black, who plays a roadie charged with saving the world, and here he joins the cast of Metalocalypse. The spot was created to play during the Dethklok Tour 2009, which wound down last week. Most of the scenes in the spot were animated in Flash, while lighting was handled in After Effects.
