what's the great thing about the flash cms? it updates flash content ?

Good stuff. Personally, I liked the black/white version aesthetically (not a fan of their dark green colors).
But they have been one of the most influential and are masters of the smooth movement.
They'd make a killing if they sold the CMS!

BUMP_
Anyone found a good flash CMS similar to G94's??

One word "weak".
I did like their style in 2003, however they are running the shit our that pixel font, one trick pony...

Better than anything I've ever done or will ever do... I wish I was them.

Tight.

The CMS from a while back was impressive where you logged in and could move stuff around... of course very specific to each job.

That is really nice of them to show the UI of the CMS even if it is just a mock up of the finished product. Really well put together, easy to use, and seamless.
Well fucking done, not to mention the rest of the site but I can hardly look at anything else playing around with this, haha!
I have a pretty indepth CMS built as well, but the UI here trumps that by about ... everything. Which according to the comments above may also be why I'm particularly interested in this part of their new launch as opposed to others.

I don't think a flash CMS is a good idea. A CMS should be extensible easy to use, and easy to update. I can not imagine having to manage growth of a flash based cms. It's functionality is BARE BONES. There is a page, which has a title, text, links and images. Thats it. Shoot you can not even enlarge the images to see them full size in the portfolio section.

Well, the fact that it is a CMS is, of course, not new... the point is the simplicity and the elegance. It does what it needs to do easily and in a way that is pleasant to use. Though the aesthetic is different, the thinking is similar to Apple's.
It would be nicer to see preview of the work before you click the link... I agree.

I'd like to point out for the benefit of the QBN stazi that I'm a big fan of Group94, their abilities, aesthetics and work, before I'm tarred and feathered.

I was quite dissapointed by this, expected more after such a long time. Not as good as many of their client sites.
What's so cool about the CMS? I mean I'm sure it *is* a good CMS, but the demo on here is a flash mock up and its not doing anything particularly mental, just controlling content, like every other CMS.
- obviously the way it flips round from the site is wicked, but that has precisely jack to do with the real worldkelpie
- but that is the very point- that is not a "flash mock up" it is the very UI of the CMS. it is 100% flash.madirish
- holy fucking hell. you have to be high man!?!madirish
- did you read the text, they say that on real projects it is a mix of flash html xml etc etc, that it is flash alone here for demo purposes with in a flash site.kelpie
- purposes within a flash site.
Why would I have to be high not to parrot the standard line from NT incidentally?kelpie - from NT incidentally?kelpie

It's really great but still incomplete.

love the cms... although the graphics are a little dark imo
- rafalski0
They're the best even if the videocast page was a finished product to me.
*note to self: bitmap fonts are still ok in 2008

I have always loved g94, but disappointed.
Portfolios that just link to sites... um... suck. This is terrible usability and make it a very aggravating experience if you want to check out all their work. Which is too bad because they have nice work.
The CMS is "ok". I guess it works for what they need it for.
- but if the sites are live, functional, and look/work EXACTLY as they were intended and designed, what is not to like?madirish
- ... not to like??madirish
- also, becuase i am interested- why do you say CMS is "ok"? do you know technical insights on it you can share, relative to other CMSs?madirish
- relative to other CMSs?madirish

GIMME THAT FUCKING CMS!!1!!

I really like how the site flips to reveal the CMS behind it - and the fact that you can tweak their site, even if only temporary
