I need a shop to produce a flash narrative piece of about 2-3 minutes from an existing storyboard. It will be a combination of 2D and 3D elements with some of the 3D elements needing to be animated.
No real actionscript expertise is needed, but 3D expertise is needed.
Most firms I know are heavy on the actionscript, but dont have 3D. And a pure motion design firm is more than I need (too expensive), but I would consider it.....
anybody know a company like that?

3D costs may be waaaaay more than you're used to, so be prepared...

Is the final product an FLV? i.e. can the 3D stuff be done in Max then exported/imported,. or do you have to control anything 3D in Flash?

I know 3D is expensive. There is a motion design firm I have worked with in Chicago called Mode that is great - but very expensive. So I am not sure I could give them something like this - it would break my budget.
I have found that 3D elements can be produced and animated and imported into Flash and integrated with 2d and raster elements and it can be pretty efficient, and editable later. A motion design firm will most likely want to do the whole thing in AE with 3D elements....and it is highly un-editable when it is done.
