Pretty neat. But as a flash designer should I start ramping up my HTML5 skills? According to the in-house dev it's "yes".
I've been hearing the "Flash is dead" as long as the rest of you have, but he's citing this as the example?

Steve Jobs would not approve of that ad. Even though it breaks normal conventions of webpage programming, the concept was pretty damn weak
- says nothing about the phone, and hypes an ugly casemonospaced
- I don't think he would approve the 5C in general.freedom
- I think he would have, but not in the current state.monospaced

I thought flash was dead like two years ago?
- nope... it's still kickingmonospaced
- It's still pretty standard for ad banners. Dead for almost everything else.CyBrainX

wait. And flash denouncers said flash was too flashy, too many animations, and too distracting for ads, and resource hog and etc.. etc..
- I guess the solution to Flash is video! Brilliant!bored2death

There's no 'program' to learn that does that. It's a mishmash of several technologies. I'd hate to see the number of files involved. How about a final kb size for it?

What was the ad about? don't see anything now.
- It's still there- you have to view on a laptop (I didn't see it on the mobile page)raybolger2
- sounds like a Flash situation if that's true. The irony is a little painful.CyBrainX

Are you talking about the black and yellow horizontal banner?

nevermind, most of them except the 300x250 are html

This is fantastic! (FYI, I'm a Flash banner guy) Great to see HTML showing what it can do (even though a lot of it is video).
However, it doesn't appear on my iPhone, so what's the point of it not being made in Flash?
I'm sure Apple paid an arm and a leg for this, both on the creative and serving side.

Do any major sites still use flash?
Obviously it's still on old, outdated sites.

I still see a flash banner, what am I missing?

If this were Flash, it might have taken less time to develop and the extra time could have been spent making some of those video games interactive instead of straight video.
- eyah, it took them SOOOO long to make this one, right?monospaced
- < If it was the junior designer on his first day, maybe yes :*Maaku

No. There is so much back and forth when producing html5 banners. If you're doing something normal its a no brainer. But once you do something different theres so many people involved and I swear most of them don't know what html5 is.

The funny thing is, I see more and more HTML5 as a tech spec for ads, and then the maximum file size is like 49k, yeah right.
