It is the specialty of this site that offers many other short films customized for several years, on the principle of the e-cards (or e-cards).

The web series "1 minute break"
When the idea of a third season began to be discussed with the marketing director of JM Bruneau, the level of ambition was particularly high. In the discussions, among the proposed innovations, such as the marked shift to Brand Content, appeared the idea of making the customizable web-series with the avatar of the fournituriste customers.
3TOON then engaged in a lengthy technical process to allow all viewers of this new season to project themselves to the sides of the characters of the Agency Venus detectives in the form of a cartoon avatar. A difficult challenge, because customize a series is far more complex than a simple card…
It was a mission accomplished a few months later, and the 15-episode series was offered to all customers of JM Bruneau, with, as a bonus, the presence of Yannick Noah, who their avatar could interact.
Opportunities provided by a custom movie
Once the Viewer is engaged in the customization process, the possibilities that are open are immense. In the case of the web-series "1 minute break", all the episodes were available from a URL customized, such as:
http://www.1mndepause.fr/Violaine/Meunier/3toon
A Web address that Internet users could share with their colleagues or friends.
Outside to see the episodes with their avatar mingling with the action, the visitors also had at their disposal 7 th – customizable cards incorporating their cartoon avatar.
They also had the opportunity to manage a whole gallery of different looks for their avatar to use over the cravings or moods.
Finally, a community part allowed them to interact with avatars of their friends, and to offer them alternative looks!
In addition to the intrinsic qualities of the series, which had already met success in two previous seasons, all these innovations led the series to receive a very important press coverage and visibility incommensurate with previous operations of brand communication. What makes the example "1 minute break" one of the most ambitious experiments of Brand Content in France.
