The Pandas in Panda-kah (2009)

In 2009, ARG! was contracted by writer/producer Dan Janis to produce the storyboards and animation for this three-minute TV mini-pilot or demo. In Aniboom and the Fox Network's competition to develop a new prime time animated series, it ranked #12 in the competition's standings. Mr. Janis didn't win, but he made a name for himself in Hollywood, appearing on shows like Dating Naked.

The characters were designed and the whole show animated in less than a month. After being featured on Aniboom, ARG! and Mr. Janis' YouTube channels, the pilot has gotten a total of more than 75,000 views, and its short promo has gotten about 70,000 views.
