Developing an animated pilot.

>>82947588
With a main character I can personally relate to. Basically someone who has never known any kind of real victory and been cheated out of everything they have worked for. Some one with no close friends or family that they can relate to. The story stories should center around them begrudgingly getting up every morning and going to work then coming home to nothing really except internet pornography and image boards about the hobbies they wanted to make a career out of but failed.

Oh and add in some cool detailed fight scenes and explosions every few episodes.

You shouldn't win our hearts and minds. You should win an average executive's heart and mind.
So just make a status quo comedy cartoon for kids with minimal design, also tell them you have a calarts degree.

>>82947588
You won't win us over with just a premise
If a premise is interesting, then yeah we'll be interested
But nobody will want to make your cartoon unless you demonstrate that it will be a good cartoon
/co/ loves character development, witty dialogue, fappable chicks, and world building

Show me something I've never seen before.

I wonder if you're the guy I met last night.

If so, hire me that's how. I'll make it a hit.

>>82947588
there is one thing that can pull a pilot for weeks on /co/ a waifu

>>82947588
Pander to our obscure fetishes, it's a surefire way to get a dedicated audience

>>82947588
Make the why of why animation is animation

Make a rat cook, make a ghost dance, make a vampire go on a date, make someone making something good jus by the sake of being good.

do you watch a lot of british comedy anon? because I think you might like it.

Chiming in early, but this is all really solid advice, lads. Will proceed with a fresh eye and renewed resolve. Thanks!

>>82947588
It doesn't matter if you win our hearts, we'll hate it a week later.

>>82947588
Make a wacky comedy that is sometimes interrupted by cryptic live action messages that play only on the original air date and never appear again.

start by pandering to the furry and pedo audience which composes like 90% of /co/

>how to win my heart
Take me out to dinner, talk a little a bit about yourself. Then when we leave, give me your phone number than I'll text you if I'm interested.

Boobs.
I will give anything with boobs at least one episode.

besides basic art training, you need a simple, basic premise and strong and identifiable characters to carry it.

Good characterization.
Mechs also help.

>>82947588
have a marketing plan outside of the cartton or movie. make the case for toys, games, beanie babies, whatever, as long as you think itll sell. merch earns more money than the actual show, and execs love money.

thats why a lot of shows have "mascot" characters that are easily indentifiable and loved. Pikachu, BMO, and Waddles are all good examples of pet characters that have helped sell shows.

relate to your audience, and make the villains unrelateable, but still human. if your target demographic is children, make the villains adults/teenagers.

for the pitch itself, you should have a pilot acript, concept art, a general direction of the plot, 1-2 storyboarded episodes, and an amimated trailer. the more work you have done the better.

ive worked in cartoons, while good ideas go farther than the shottier ones, there is a sciente to optimize your success.

WHAT KIND OF AIRPLANE IS YOUR PILOT FLYING?

>>82951061
HE SAID IT WAS AN ANIMATED PILOT, SO I ASSUME IT'S THE SEADUCK OR MAYBE THE TURBOCAT.

>>82947588
Draw super good on your cinteech.

Mechs are for fags

Gothic architecture. Gothic architecture everywhere. Like Gotham in the 90's Batman cartoons.

>>82952054
So you like them too?

>>82947588

Well, don't make it shit, for one.

That'd be a good start.

Second would be, I don't know...maybe make it good?

>>82947588
Make it serialized, make up some lore, and add waifus/husbandos. BTW a plot and compelling characters won't hurt.

>>82952151
Oh, and have good action scenes. That'll hit /co/s G-spot for sure...

>>82952238
Yeah, well choreographed action where you see every move, smooth movements, that type of thing.

>>82947588
Use music that stands out from the rest, as long as it fits your pilot. Maybe something like Jack White-ish sloppy rock(if for westerns) / baroque pop (if for operatics) perhaps?

The 90s Batman cartoons were overwhelmingly art deco, not gothic.
