@metacritic 2.- to take aim at the industry itself to show what a frivolous world hides behind the glitz and glamour. "Living in Oblivion" makes you realize that #filmmaking may not be as fun as you think it's (even if sometimes it is). There are many extra bits to it, sometimes straight
@metacritic 3.- unpleasant, and can be really frustrating at times, especially when you're trying to make a LO-NO budgeted feature film; there can be tension between the crew on set, and there is a limit an independent director can handle to finish a product.

PITCHING A CARTOON SHOW

CHAPTER 8 - Post Mortem
Let’s talk about pitching a cartoon show, shall we?
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve tried to give you all of the practical information I have based on my experience on how to pitch a cartoon.
Not as easy as you thought, huh?
Everything I know came from trial-and-error on my part.
You will try.
You will error.

Don’t let it eat you up.
One of the major, emotional milestones I wish I had gotten over sooner is that - as corny as this sounds - life IS, in fact, all about the journey - not the destination.

I’ve spent a lot of time preparing you for disappointment.
And rightfully so. The odds are undeniably stacked against you.
But - let’s say you pitched your show, everything went great, and a couple of weeks later, you get the call everyone hopes for:
“We’re interested.”

Congrats!
In many cases, you’ll have a pretty good idea what your chances look like within the first 120 seconds of your pitch.
By the time you speak the title of the show and first paragraph of your pitch, you’ll probably be able to see it on their faces.

Anything other than a “I love this idea!” and you’re looking at a “maybe” at best. “Interesting” is often code for “no.”
But, as I stated previously, you’re not just pitching a cartoon, you’re pitching yourself… so you need to maintain your composure no matter what.

Good lord - after ALL THAT you’re still here?!
You’re a glutton for punishment, huh? Well… good… because if you’re going to pitch your cartoon ideas, you’ve gotta love getting punched in the gut.
And get punched in the gut you most certainly WILL!

Unless you’re one of those assholes who just comes up with something exceedingly brilliant and gets a fantastic development deal your first time around. In which case, the rest of us will sit here smiling and trying to make our “congratulations” seem sincere.
But I digress.

No matter how great your cartoon idea is, sometimes it’s simply “Not the right time” or “not the right fit” for whatever entity you’re pitching to.

CHAPTER 1
PITCHING A SHOW: Why?
One of the things about animation that a lot of people find frustrating is that it often becomes a “nexus” where CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION and COMMERCE are uncomfortably merged.
This phenomenon can create a lot of challenges and struggles. Obviously, as with all things, sometimes the stars align just perfectly and it all happens with flawless precision, but those instances are VERY few and VERY far between.

Before we get started, let me sort of lay down how this is all going to happen.
I’m gonna do my best to give you some perspective on how to go about pitching and/or selling your original ideas to a network or media platform based on MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
I’m gonna do my best to give you some perspective on how to go about pitching and/or selling your original ideas to a network or media platform based on MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
Why do I put those words in BOLD CAPS, you ask? Because my experiences are unique, personal and potentially outdated. I haven’t REALLY “pitched” anything in over a decade - and that should tell you something right there.
Similarly, breaking into the film & TV industry as a #director is incredibly tough. It oftens feels like there's an entire set of unwritten rules and no clear career ladder. Fortunately, help is out there!

So as promised, here is my #screenwriting thread on how me and @ben_lustig sold our first script together in 2014.
#screenwriter #writerscommunity #filmmaking #Motivational 1/
#screenwriter #writerscommunity #filmmaking #Motivational 1/
I’d been working with Ben for about four years. We’d been repped for two of then, and had written a couple of specs that had hit the town and not sold. We had also been dropped by our manager. Yay. 2/
I was working part-time at the Apple Store in the Beverly Center, LA. I was also driving for uber four nights a week. I had a new son, less than a year old, and me and my wife were struggling financially. Hard. Borrowing money from family to make ends meet. 3/
Recording sound on location takes a coordinated team of sound recordists to capture the clearest, quality sound especially for scenarios involving action or high motion. 🎙🔊
Pictured are our Sound Recording & Production students in a collaborative practical with the Cinematogaphy students as they learn teamwork and coordination on set. 👏🏽✨

Our Art Direction for Film & TV students were given a class task on colour mixing & painting. The final result of each completed task was refreshing & interesting. 🤩🎨
At ELCA, we teach our Art Direction students to understand the nature & composition of colours. This is important in the creation of unique set designs that truly reflect the story being told. 👏🏽✨

Ello! Me again :) I've been wanting to do another #storyboarding thread on some techniques to simplify the #filmmaking process -- to help answer that ever-nagging question: WHAT SHOT COMES NEXT?
Let's start with the first idea here: "SHOT / REVERSE SHOT." You might actually hear this a bit more in live-action filmmaking. But what does it mean exactly? I really like this definition from joe940 on Slideshare. plus adding my paraphrasing:
so let's back up & imagine you *IRL* are observing a conversation - to follow along, your eyes naturally move back and forth between the two ppl as either one speaks, or lingers on one as they react in an interesting way or as they take a moment to ponder...
GRANT & FELLOWSHIP THREAD. Get that $$!
We entrust a few with great power, our power, to change the world. Petty despots, pencil pushers, toxic saviors, and wannabe dictators alike have the ability to play god in their corner of the world.
It won't be god doing the smiting one day.
It won't be god doing the smiting one day.
We’re in #MADRID about to board a plane to São Paulo. In #Brazil we’ll put an end to a full #mojo project that started in #London one year ago. This is the story behind the story...
#London, November 2018. Worlwide Female Journalists and Writers Association Congress. Invited by @thomfound I addressed a #mojo workshop
Among the delegates, there’s a small group of Spanish journalists. Three of them from #Asturias. They are excited about the potential of #technology and more over #mobile journalism.
In the film & TV industry shooting days are generally 12 hours, and it’s very common for days to go much longer. I’m sure there is a rich accounting somewhere of why this has come to be the standard, so I won’t go into that here.
What I will do is explain how it’s possible and better to design a 10 hour shooting day. And I speak from experience...
Story of a 44 year old POC rookie tv writer. The #Ransom ep I co-wrote airs a week before #MothersDay , so I’ll make this a mother themed thread. #screenwriting #diversity @Sienna_Films @eOne_TV @BigLightProds @CBS @GlobalTV 1/
Back in ’95 when I was in college in Montreal I decided that my ultimate career goal was to write tv. #screenwriting #filmmaking 2/
Being a child of immigrants, I didn’t know what my parents would make of my declaration that I was leaving sciences (which I was terrible at) and pursuing the arts. #diversity 3/
Aquí comienza un hilo con ideas para sacarle partido al #móvil. Si quieres contar una historia o grabar lo que ves para compartirlo, tenlas en cuenta. Te ayudarán a lograr un mejor resultado. Sigue la #mojo pedia. Arranca con 5 entradas pero irá creciendo. #MojoBCN #filmmaking
Aprovecha las posibilidades de la cámara del móvil. Muchas de ellas dan la opción de grabar en slow-mo (cámara lenta). Úsala cuando haya una escena rápida o con mucha acción y que pueda resultar interesante ver en detalle. También para dar un efecto dramático. #mojo pedia.
