New streaming platform Animation+ has tapped top YouTube animators like MeatCanyon, ExplosmEntertainment, Flashgitz, Pencilmation, and Jarrad Wright for deals that offer them “real equity participation in the studio, along with real television budgets” to produce 10 original series for Animation+’s premium adult animation channel.
That’s according to Evan Weiss, co-founder of Animation+ parent company Streaming Ink Media (Sim).
“We are actualizing ‘creator economy’ in our business model and our business affairs,” he added.
Weiss co-founded Streaming Ink Media with John Fitzpatrick in 2022; the two met while working with creators at Studio71 and Collective Digital Studio. Both worked on Fred: The Movie (there’s a throwback for YouTube oldies), and Fitzpatrick went on to work with Explosm Entertainment to secure crowdfunding/distribution deals for properties like Cyanide & Happiness. Weiss is also a former business affairs exec at Disney who ran United Talent Agency‘s TV packaging department for seven years.
