Claire Grey, Craig Knowles and David Ridges, an in-house team at Kilogramme, recently spent 6 weeks producing this 6-minute comedy pilot titled Angels Inc. The team utilized Flash, 3DS Max and After Effects. Here you’ll meet Bernard, a guardian angel, whose performance isn’t stellar:

In association with Comberry Studios, Shanghai-based artist Daniel N. Djanie, wrote and directed this 11-minute, Flash-animated proof of concept titld Santaman – The Patron Saint of Justice. It re-imagines the Santa Claus origin story, establishing him as more of a Batman-esque superhero. Djanie worked with a small, enthusiastic team who essentially worked with zero budget. Some of the dialog is clunky, and could use some comedic one-liners, but overall it’s designed quite well.

Last year we featured the title sequence from Dunce Bucket, one of the pilots that emerged from the Teletoon Detour Pilot Project. Below is the first segment from the pilot, titled Chicken Heaven, which was designed by Riccardo Durante and directed by Mark Ackland. Ackland and Durante also animated the piece. The entire 23-minute pilot can be viewed online.

Nath Milburn’s graduation film from Savannah College of Art & Design is a 10-minute, Flash-animated short titled http://www.mtfeathertop.com (which we teased back in April). We’re introduced to a group of clouds who attend a prestigeous academny that helps students learn weather control. Milburn gave himself the challenge of producing a TV pilot in a relatively short period of time. He had help on the animation effort from Xavier Robles de Medina, Jeremiah Gallardo and Xavier Palin.

Back in 2009, Comedy Central announced that they were developing a new animated series “featuring “30 Rock” star Judah Friedlander as a wacked out gypsy cab driver whose great ambition in life is to top everyone around him.” It was created by comedian Jordan Rubin and co-developed by Six Point Harness Studios. Gypsy Cab never made it out of development, but some development animation was produced. Here’s two segments that Rubin recently unveiled:
