Guess my previous post addresses more of the editing,
flash is okay
but Toonboom, max and maya with specified  plug-in may achieve it as well

There are plenty of applications for Broadcast graphics. If you're trying to figure out the specific tools used in the Sound City promo, I have ni idea, you gotta figure out from the creators. Although there are apps geared towards broadcast graphics, you can easily use software like Lightwave, Cinema 4D, Zarkwerk Invigorator and After Effects for the actual creation. You're going to need apps like Premiere and Audition for audio and editing/final output. The programs are really too numerous to mention, I just gave a small instance. . .

I did the montages for 3 programs on sound city (Owambe, Request time and Showtime). For Owambe, I used 3ds max for the woodlike figures, and after effects for final compositing and look development.
What I am trying to say is it depends on what you are trying to create. Check out our company profile at:

Hi Deltree   they have said it all. toon boom, MacroMedia Flash, Adobe After effects 6.5 Pro 0r 7, 3dmax, maya cool 3d, corel draw and a host of other softwares i have yet to come across. It is almost impossible to create something spectacular with one software. What is really important is knowing their strengths and limitations E.g. you can get flash and after effects to seriously complement each other because flash has limitations e.g. camera effects, like panning, trucking etc.

Here is a cartoon we did ( at EuphoRya Comics)with flash mx please check it out

Hi deekseen which exactly are you interested in 3d or 2d? If you are interested in 2d try toonboom or flashor corel r.a.v.e., if you are interested in 3d try maya, 3dmax (there are othesr but these are the most popular. Make sure you get the essence of these softwares (the principle of animating) the software is just a tool you are the true animator.

Here is a video we did with flash in 2006 for a Mtech and MTN (when  they promoting the MTN Loaded). It is the very first aniomation we did. Like i always say the soft ware is never the problem, once you understand the principle of animation u can use anything to animated Computer, hand drawn animation, clay, just about anything. Please check out the video i originally called it Omo naija but it has been plagiarised to Omo funky.

ehen,  someone said it depends on what you want to do,  for that kind of software use by soundcity is : AfterAffect, Photoshop, Adobe Premium,  most of them don't really use Flash as much as you think oooo
