Producer/Writer Needs Help

Hi -
I'm an award winning filmmaker and an emmy winning
TV producer. I have recently completed a treatment and
pilot script for an animated series (in the "Family Guy" "Aqua Teen
Hunger Force" / "South Park" sort of vein).
It's very funny and a totally original idea that I think
could be sold to cable. Problem is - since I've never done
animation, I haven't the slightest idea what to do next, what
I need to pitch, who I need to talk to, etc...
I have tried asking around, but the people I know are equally
cluless about animation as I am.

What should I do? Is there someone I could talk to who can
tell me what my next step is - or at leat give me some insight
into the process.

Thanks

Mike

welcome to the world of animation...there is no getting out :D :D

bye :)

Pitching materials that you'll need are likely similar to other formats (live-action):

step one:
- a splash sheet with
- fact sheet
- synopsis
- world description
- main characters (design and description)
- tone and style targets ('look' and writing)
- your credits as partner

step two:
- sample script (full script ie for launch segemnt)
- overview of series scenarios
- character boards, art boards
- ideally a teaser animation

step three:
Go get 'em!

If its as hot as you say, I can introduce it here in Europe.
Co-productions are the name of the game here...

hi MIKE

I Have Enriched My Experience, My Attitude Towards Animation PRODUCTION My Values System, And My Very Existence. Creative Ability And Technical Competencies And Relentless Pursuit For Higher Standard Have Helped Me To Take Many New Challenges Every Day over 6 + Years.
I may be able to help. Drop me a line at sbhavankar@yahoo.com:)

you can make a pitch bible as well. then youd have to meet with your intended broadcasters at the channels you think your content would be viable at.
alternatively you could get an agent and have him set your meetings up.
