Hey, sports fans. We just launched a new game for Scholastic’s sports line of books. Run down the field avoiding obstacles along the way — everything from tires to defensive linebackers are in the way. Keep your fingers nimble and don’t fumble the ball.
Bad Hybrid launched on Mondo’s YouTube channel. The Animax produced cartoon is called “The Fast and the Furryous”.
Animax is pleased to release our first of several upcoming webisode shorts through Mondo Media. The first short “I, Pineapple,” is live tonight on Mondo Media’s Youtube channel.
“I, Pineapple” is a mundane video manifesto from the strange, sheltered life of one awkward, depressed pineapple. In this first episode, Pineapple talks calisthenics, laments soap-pieces and shares the benefits of going “full ball!”
Look forward to more of our pilots through Mondo Media. And make sure to like the videos so these pilots can be made into ongoing series!

For the campaign, Animax revived “Arnold Speaks” and produced a video where Arnold pontificates about FWD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u20oCN1gvpg). We were able to use this animated original content to drive social media views and engagement which resulted in over 25,000 views for the video alone. Our sister company, HelpsGood, helped drive over 100 million impressions for the campaign overall.
Michael Bellavia is heading to CES to speak during one of the International Academy of Web Television (IAWTV) track sessions – “Shooting for Success: Best Production Practices For Your Web Series.” He’s representing the PGA and Animax along with reps from WGA and SAG. Here’s the panel description:
While a lot of basic set practices apply to web series, sometimes smaller budgets and quick turn-around times led to cutting corners and safety concerns. Such doesn’t need to be the case and this panel will help! Topics will include working with Unions (SAG, PGA, WGA) and how to stretch your dollars so the cast and crew will want to work with you again and again.
See you there.
