Google (GOOG) announced Thursday that it will begin offering short-form videos across its adsense network.
The videos will include two different creations. One by the creator of "Family Guy," Seth MacFarlane, and the other featuring the star of "That's So Raven," Raven-Symone.
The shorts from Seth MacFarlane will focus on new characters, while Raven-Symone will be featured in a "how-to" show.
How the shows will be presented will be in a video box where a viewer can choose to click on if they want to. It will be included in the usual adsense banner and video ad packages across the network.
"We feel this partnership answers the question of how best to reach viewers online, because the Web is fragmented into millions and millions of viewing destinations," said Asif Satchu, co-chief executive of Media Rights Capital.
Media Rights Capital is the company behind the financing of the film "Babel," and is behind these two initiatives as well.
"Media" working with Google will focus on targeting the most appropriate sites for the video content.
The company added they preferred this type of distribution deal rather that putting it all up on one site.
