"Full Sail" Video

Howdy.

How did they accomplish the video effect on Full Sail' (http://www.fullsail.com) ?

The download time was is so short. Is this streaming video or do they keep the file size low by using the high contrast, black and white video.

What would be the best program to use for this? Premiere & After Effects?

Thanks...

one reason they have such a small filesize is because of the white background. Solid colors are always much better in FLV, there wasn't a lot of movement from him either which kept the size down. I can almost guarntee you they are using flash comm server because of some of the chat content on their site. This also means that they can stream FLV from the comm server.

Thanks for the info. Couldn't this FLV also be progressive download? It makes sense that they're using Flash Comm server, but the same effect can be recreated with progressive download, correct? Flash Comm server is so expensive....
