MUMBAI: Motorola, Inc. and MTV Networks International will introduce Head and Body series, especially created for the handset which has been launched on a global scale.
Head and Body is a series of eight short mobisodes that follow the comedic adventures of a character whose head is detached from his body. Shot in Tijuana and Los Angeles, the live action series follows the characters -- i.e. his detached head and his body -- and how they work together to attempt to
meet women, keep fit and knock over as little as possible.
As the latest initiative to come out of their strategic
marketing alliance, Head and Body follows in the tradition of Motorola's groundbreaking technological innovation and MTV Networks International's expertise in creating compelling content designed specifically for young people, informs an official release.
Starting today, (20 October) the mobisodes will be disseminated through MTV Networks International's mobile distribution channels and via Motorola's web site, http://www.hellomoto.com , in markets across the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe.
In the United States, MTV Networks' Comedy Central is also
distributing the content. More information regarding local distribution is available at http://www.headandbody.com .

"Head and Body is a unique and witty entertainment series that marks the future of mobile phone entertainment and
programming, " Dance adds.
