November 14, 2016 : YouTube Red’s New Animated Series

YouTube Red is YouTube’s paid streaming subscription service. It provides ad-free streaming and during this past year has begun producing original film and series. On November 16th Paranormal Action Squad, its first original animation series, will premiere. The project is being driven by Michael Rowe, who has written for both Futurama and Family Guy.

It's on YouTube so it must be good, right?

The series stars YouTube personalities, which isn’t my cup of tea, but its level of success could drive future original programming. Red has already released other originals, and I assume there is more in the pipeline. The possibility of seeing more animated shows is always exciting… I  just wonder how many of them will star H. Jon Benjamin (which I fully endorse).

January 30, 2011 : Stuffed – Now On YouTube

Thanks to everyone for their compliments on Stuffed – it’s good to hear people aren’t too displeased with my treatment of Care Bears. In addition to putting the short on Vimeo, I am pleased to announced that Stuffed in now on YouTube. Check it out  and tell your friends:

Originally, the short was put on Vimeo because I believed the video quality on YouTube would have been sub-par. In the past, I felt YouTube compressed animations way too much – resulting in semi-pixelated videos. Either I was doing things incorrectly or things have been improved because YouTube now has the ability to upload HD videos – and without any noticeable degradation in the quality of the video.

Obviously, YouTube is a lot more recognizable than Vimeo. So I am glad Stuffed can now be viewed on it without the quality suffering.
