Animax created the storyboards for another animated short for Intermix's Grab.com, recently aquired by News Corp./Fox.

"Licensed to Pill" parodies Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" to poke fun at our obsession with drugs and pills. But, of course, every quick fix has its side effects...

Naked Men and Sharks

Today the final episode of "Off-Mikes" on ESPN.com launched. It's called "Bite Me" and it's probably the funniest one yet. Not for the feint of heart, the short features the two ESPN Radio personalities, Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic, and their take on sharks.

It's the final episode of this season, but the series is definitely coming back for another season. We're working on the new scripts now so they should be back online in a month or two.

The project team includes folks from InformiTV, USC, RPA, Bettingcorp UK, and CBP.

The Content Lab kicks off right after the Content Festival on July 25th in Hollywood. In 2004 we worked with Scripps TV and in 2003 with ITVS as part of the AFI Lab.
