Six months in the making, the danimations-designed Triple Threat Animation project is sneaking lucky punters a preview of its wares at AVCON in Adelaide. Combining the talents of three talented emerging animation teams from Adelaide’s Tomorrow Studio, the project provides a promotional platform and production model for three unique new lines of animated entertainment. Binding them together is a cunning balance of cute, gruesome, colorful and playful elements, each module highly finished and ready to serve. Two pilots for animated cartoon series’ feature, with danimations’ production Death Finds a Day Job and Awesome Fighter Animation’s ‘Livin’ With Steve’ playing for black comedic laughs. Game developers I Love Biscuits will launch their cute casual online game ‘Pooper Trooper’ for beta testing and merchandise from each product will be available for purchase, to help fund future production. The project will offer glimpses of its works with three presences at AVCON- in the Creative Industries booth, the Indie Games Room and a special ‘behind-the-scenes’ panel presentation at 3.30pm on Saturday July 24th. Last year, AVCON attracted over 6000 attendees, and their team are expecting even greater numbers of gaming and animation fans this weekend… the perfect local audience for our steaming hot new efforts!

At danimations, we take an holistic approach to online video distribution. While our clients tend to prioritize embedding video on their own websites, redistributing content to popular video portal sites can have significant benefits in increasing brand, product and service awareness off-site and driving traffic back to your website. As we do with our client work, we distribute our own content across a number of these sites, carefully monitoring viewing trends. Yesterday, our own promotional channel passed a 30,000 view milestone. Interestingly, Youtube only represents 68% of our total views through portal sites, and for some of our clients, this figure can be as low as 12%. If you’d like to venture beyond Youtube and really reach the world with video, ask us how we can help your business today.

When the Deepwater Horizon oil-rig ignited in the Gulf of Mexico back in May, we were horrified. Our disappointment and feeling of dread grew as the volume of oil pumping into the ocean increased with each bungled and delayed attempt to stop the leak. Creative people should never feel impotent in the face of such events though, as maintaining public engagement is everything. danimations has just embarked on a short animated video series entitled ‘Oil’s Well’ inspired by this sordid chain of events. You can watch a silent preview of the first episode courtesy of the Sydney Opera House’s GRAPHIC animation competition. The first episodes of the micro-short animated series will be completed in the next month- though the series will continue at least as long as the leak does!
