I just want to start by saying: Ryan, please don't be discouraged by flash! Things will come together-- your site looks super awesome and has a lot of good things going for it. It will come together!

The rendering of your objects is fantastic-- dynamic camera angles and all the fun colors really seem to speak to your content. I think the way you decided to render these in the end made it even more engaging than some of your previous studies. They are also all very cohesive, and I appreciate the clean white backgrounds that allow me to focus on the objects themselves.

Typography is readable and hierarchically, I also think it's working very well. There is a clear title, body copy and I like that you've recognized a down state for your menu when the user is within a certain section. I don't think I'd ever feel lost on your site! I think some of the tiny type on the infographs could be a little bit bigger (the one with Mr. Potato Head) or a different color to help make it more easily readable. On that, your infographs are great-- they're cohesive and I feel like there's a playfulness to them that isn't so static and dry.

I can't say for sure, but the functionality looks like it's going to work out well. Like I said before, you've recognized some states for the user to keep a track of where they are on both your infographs and main screen. Is there a close button for your infographs? You might want to consider including them to give the user a various ways to exit the screen.

Overall, I don't know if I have too many complaints, everything seems really clean and refined. Really great job Ryan. Give me a heads up when you get it all put together, I'm looking forward to seeing it!
