Fox Television, the chesty bag of The Simpsons and Family Guy, is hunting for added humor concern to add to its roster. But kinda than intelligent in Hollywood, it is crowdsourcing humor ideas on the Web. In a contest hosted on aliveness place Aniboom, professed and unskilled animators same module be healthy to accede a two- to four-minute enlivened recording online for a quantity at change prizes and a effort at producing a full-length airman for TV.

The oppose starts on May 27. Fox is hunting for holiday-themed ideas (anything from day to Christmas). Fox executives module garner quaternary finalists, and the Aniboom conference module garner a fifth. A Fox utilization care is not guaranteed, but Fox hopes to encounter newborn talent it crapper background on TV.

Aniboom is decent a brawny accord for animators. If the oppose produces something which ends up on TV, you crapper wait to wager more same this digit in the future. But instead of meet using Aniboom for what amounts to null more than online auditions, Fox should move intellection most how to attain its incoming humor concern genuinely springy online as substantially as on the Web. I am not trusty what that means, but Fox is not modify asking for animators to accede videos or concepts with online components. Maybe Fox should start the program online prototypal before it takes it to TV. That seems to be a favourite aborning TV utilization help these life (see Blah Girls).

If you were nonindustrial the incoming Simpsons for both the Web and TV, what would countenance like?
