The Press on "Off-Mikes"

ESPN's "Off-Mikes" continues to garner media attention, this time from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and The Examiner.

Me and myPAL

We started work designing, animating and programming an interactive kiosk for mylunchmoney.com that features a character we created. The kiosk will be in a ton of grade schools throughout the country beginning in 2006.

Down with Wal-Mart

We produced the animatic for this short on Grab.com.

Pumbo Pumps Paranoid

Looks like the Paranoid got spidered by someone at Pumbo cuz we just got a ton of hits coming to us all of a sudden. The Paranoid is one of the original properties Animax has developed.

ANIMAX goes mobile

The animated series we're working on for ESPN is also now available on Verizon's VCAST. It's our first foray into the cellular world.

And that's not our only mobile news: we just signed an agreement with WirelessDeveloper Agency to rep us for new work in the mobile space - stay tuned for more news on this. And there's another (hush-hush-for-now) deal with a big publisher that we're working -more on that soon.

Also, more Off-Mikes coverage: blogs from folks at Macromedia and Corante.

Producer's Guild Town Hall

Went to the general membership meeting tonight - good to see how fast the new media and digital animation in particular has helped to grow the membership. There's an upcoming event specifically about Flash animation that would be good to check out if you can.

Many More Mikes

We just heard that "Off-Mikes," the series of shorts we're animating for ESPN.com, was picked up for another season. Thanks for tuning in.

Like, OMMA God!

Speaking at OMMA was a lot of fun and good opportunity to catch up on online marketing and advertising. Met up with clients like Greg Smith at Wicked Smart and also met some new folks Shelly Palmer, Bob Kimball at Meca, Ian Schafer at Deep Focus, Mika Salmi at AtomShockwave and spent a good deal of time with good guy Raman at P&G. Also the speech by Bob Garfield was great. Read Tobi Elkin's Mediapost article about the Branded Entertainment panel Michael was on.
