Article :: An Introduction to 3D in Flash

Digestion Questions
This ten minute video is an animation of a "game show" called "Digestion Questions." The characters are cliche'd and over-exaggerated high school students (the cheerleader, the slacker, and the nerd), and the purpose is comedy-learning.
