G4–videogame tv is set to launch a new animated shorts series this August and is looking for edgy, offbeat and hilarious films to showcase. The yet-untitled show is intended to give up-and-coming animators a place to present works geared to the 18-34 male audience. Top picks will be licensed for broadcast on the cable network.
The series will be part of a new programming block launching this fall. Information about other shows in the block will be released at another date, but we’re told this will be the only entry devoted to animation.
Film submissions should be on DVD or VHS formats and under 10 minutes in length. They can be sent to the attention of: "Animation Series" at G4–videogame tv, 12312 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90064. For more information, e-mail animation@g4media.com.
Billing itself as the only 24/7 television network dedicated to all things videogames, G4 airs all-original programming that covers every aspect of the videogame culture. Other programs that feature animation include the Anime Unleashed block and the CG shorts show, Eye Droppers. In addition, Mondo Media’s Happy Tree Friends appears during Attack of the Show, which airs Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. (ET) and covers everything from underground music to new gadgets and technology.
