Every one of my content client’s goals is to get their show on a US network, first and foremost.  This is when I ask the question, “Are you willing to sell your rights away?”  Many stop short and say “Hell NO!”  

Your series has been sold to the network and you get to guide it creatively and nurture it.   It’s like having a baby and putting it up for an open adoption.  You will take care of it everyday, but will not own it.  You can love it, take care of it, but at the end of the day the adopted parents will make all of the life’s decisions.

My ears are still ringing from attending E3 last week.  But this time I came away with a much different perspective on the industry. 

I attended the very first E3 way back in the dark ages of 1994.  I ventured into a male dominated world of shooters, racing and “boobalicous” avatars (as well as booth babes).  I was one woman out of maybe a hundred or more young men to attend.  I was there to see what the animation potential from this renegade group from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), would have for a mere mortal animation studio. 

You just don’t make animation and then play it, in the game business.  It is a unique combination of equipment, programming/technology and art.
