Aniboom is a premier animation network that partners with animators around the world for multiplatform distribution of original content.  Driven by the passion of the art form, professional animators, animation students, and animation fans come to this community to create, watch and share a wide range of animated shorts and series.

Yesterday Aniboom added some interesting new features to its site:

1) The Creator’s Studio – Think you got an original idea for an animated web series? Aniboom wants to hear it. You can pitch your idea to them and if they like it, they will help you produce it, ditribute it through different channels,  and monetize it.

2) Aniboom has come out with new, original Creators Series that they collaborated on with independent writers, animators and directors. New series include: The Mad Scientist Show - a 50′s style TV show, which centers on Dr Pilkenstein, an insane inventor obsessed with improving the existence of mankind, Mister Coo - the surreal adventures of a little man in a very unpredictable universe, Neurosa – the misfortunes of Neu Rosa, a young woman living in the big city who tortures herself in ways you wouldn’t want to imagine. And lastly, The Race for the White House - a comical animation series about Hilary, Barack, and the rest of the gang…coming soon.

3) A new webcam animation widget and tool called MicroSmotion which allows you to animate yourself or anything else you wish with your webcam. You can then embed it on your site or blog, export it to your mobile, or create your own original video greeting cards & send it to your friends and family. Very cool. You can see an example of it here:

If you like animation, you should definitely check Aniboom out. The site has some amazing animation and cartoon videos created by animators from all over the world. You can also find there a unique and easy-to-use animation tool called Shapeshifter which allows you to create your own animation masterpieces. You can then share your animations with the entire Aniboom community and post them on your BoomZone (personal profile), plus you can show your creativity to the world and embed your animations on your site or blog.

Aniboom also holds on-going competitions. The site is currently celebrating its one year anniversary and you can now participate in their Shapeshifter birthday competition and win a Wacom tablet.

Aniboom believes that animators should get paid for their hard work, and therefore it provides each creator with simple revenue share models– all creators who upload or create movies on aniboom.com will receive a fair share of advertising and licensing revenue.

Lastly, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite animation videos:
