Hi everyone,
My question is very simple:
How can I create showreel video like these ones:

I know it is a flv played in Flash. I want to know what software do I need to create such animated flv? Is it 3ds max or maya (only guessing)?

I will appreciate if someone can post more info about the process.
Thanks.
