Web search engine Google and TV producer Seth MacFarlane are creating an animation series directly for the web, called “Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy.”
Google will syndicate the program using its AdSense advertising system to thousands of Web sites that are predetermined to be gathering spots for Mr. MacFarlane’s target audience, typically young men.
Advertising will be incorporated into the cartoons in several ways. In some cases, there will be “preroll” ads, which ask viewers to sit through a TV-style commercial before getting to the video. Some advertisers may opt for a banner to be placed at the bottom of the video clip or a simple “brought to you by” note at the beginning.
Seth who will receive a percentage of the ad revenue,and has created a stable of new characters to star in the series, which will be served up in 50 two-minute episodes.
Los Angeles talent agency Endeavor talent agency negotiated the deal with Google and Mr. MacFarlane.
So as working actors, you need to contact your agents to see who is casting the voice overs for this new project.
