Check out Chris O’Neill and Sean Keily’s latest episode of Leo & Satan, titled Leo Goes to School. Its the first episode of Season 2, and I think it’s the most disturbing episode yet, and maybe the funniest too. O’Neill animated along with Zach Hadel. The series has rapidly climbed the charts on YouTube, now raking in the 3rd slot on the Animation & Cartoons list.

Dan Meth animated this new CollegeHumor short titled Sex Scandal Resignations Through History. You’re familiar with most of these, which goes to show that we, the human race, really, really care about this type of stuff, no matter what year, decade or century we live in.

On October 2nd, Adult Swim will reveal their latest animated series, Brad Neely’s China, IL, which has an 10 episode pick-up. Titmouse, Inc is handling the animation out of their LA-office. Mike Mayfield, who I was lucky to work with years ago on his pilot Boogies, is serving as the Supervising Director, Grif Kimmins is the Animation Director on the series, while Daniel Weidenfeld (EP of Super Deluxe, brother of Adult Swim exec Nick Weidenfeld) is co-EP of the show. The original 4-part web series was produced in Neely’s signature ‘slideshow’ format, but the TV series is being “fully” animated in Flash. Gone is Neely’s organic, inky line quality, and that’s going to take some getting used to, but I’m thinking we’re in for something special next month. Here’s a behind-the-scenes assembly, hot out of the oven:

Three artists in Sydney have banded together to form the ZZZ Collective, and they’ve already notched a victory. Their short, Run Amok, won the top prize at the 2011 GRAPHIC Animation Competition, an element of the GRAPHIC 2011 festival at Sydney Opera House. The team used Flash and After Effects in the production pipeline. Congrats, fellas!

The fine folks at Ghostbot recently produced an animated music video for Loter Inc’s lifestyle brand Good Girl, Bad Girl (aka GGBG). Roque Ballesteros handled the animation direction, while Sam Chi, Tony Cliff and Happy Tree Friends co-creator Kenn Navarro handled animation duties.
