Cold Hard Flash

Cold Hard Flash is a website for independent flash animators who do contract work including short animated features and television shows. The site includes industry news and updates and outtakes from the creations of the site's featured animators for example frog in a blender. I really like Newgrounds because of the wide variety of flash games and animation, but the work here is (for the most part) much more sophisticated and the animators are professionals.

One animator I like is Han Hoogerbrugge. He did a flash video for the London based band The Young Punx . He also did a really funny interactive site called Nails. His website also shows a flash animation he did for Sony to advertise the Playstation2. I enjoy his work because he is a very good illustrator, his work is very creative (out there) and he has a really good sense of humor.
