In the wake of the W!LDBRAIN office closing, Phil Robinson and his new company Special Agent Productions have gotten off to a strong start up in San Francisco. Along with co-founder Amy Capen, Robinson has been hard at work on the Flash-animated Esurance campaign, which has been all over the ol’ telly these days. Here’s the most recent spot, titled Hidden Camera, which was produced in conjunction with Ghostbot.

Well, another San Diego Comic-Con is upon us. I am driving down the coast here in a few hours to hit preview night, and I’ll surely drop by the Ghostbot booth (#4203), at which time I will begin grilling them about this new original property – Little Lost Ghost. It stars Miss Fit, a mysterious character searching the galaxy for her way home.

While the Esurance team may be distracted by their recent coupling with the upcoming Star Trek movie, they haven’t stopped pumping out adventures for pink-haired Erin Esurance. This latest ad, titled Mission Savings, takes Erin to the slopes – on skis. We were pretty certain she favored snow boarding, but she’s apparently fond of both. The animation is overseen by Wildbrain, and produced by Ghostbot.

In between their work on Happy Tree Friends KA-POW! episodes and Esurance spots, the Ghostbot crew knocked out this 2-minute promotional short for Tongal.com. This competition website is aiming to officially launch soon, which will provide artists and filmmakers a new way to produce 30 second commercials and instructional videos for companies and brands.

The Happy Tree Friends spin-off series has spun out Splendid. The latest 3-minute adventure from Mondo Media has launched, and it features the well-intended superhero Splendid, who has been redesigned for his new starring role. Roque Ballesteros directed and his pals at Ghostbot handled the design, storyboarding, layout and animation. This episode of Splendid’s SSSSSuper Squad is titled Mirror, Mirror, in which we meet Splendid’s arch nemesis – Splendont!

The animation team included Roque, Sam Chi, Tony Cliff, Alan Lau, Brad Rau, Joel Reid, Jayson Thiessen and Kris Toscanini – and I spotted my pal Chris Battle on the layout team. Great work, gang.
