We had another good pitch night last night at Ye Olde Animation Guild. We took three pitches from attendees Ken Roskos, Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy, and Doug Wolf with his business partner Eric Gamache. It was really great to see such a wide range of work.
Ken's working on a personal project entitled "Pandora's Box". He showed us part two last night. Overall people appreciated the diversity of his characters and quirkiness of story, but felt he needed to focus on following one main character to avoid confusion.
The ever prolific Dahveed had another project up his sleeve for the evening- a supah rough musical opening to a new concept he's collaborating on. There was a lot of discussion about the rough thumbnails. Everyone seemed to like the idea, but thought there were some conflicting visions between the storytelling and the main title song lyrics. Dahveed took the critique to heart, and hopefully we'll see another awesome iteration of this amusing project.
Lastly, we had Doug and Eric's pitch of their project called Tiny Oaks. They came to pitch night to get feedback on their sizzle reel and pitch bible for a potential series for young children. The work was undeniably good-looking, well produced and animated. A fellow attendee, Mark Murphy, who has had ample experience in pitching concepts to studios, gave them some good pointers for their upcoming meetings.
Good luck to all and I hope to see everyone at future meetings with further developments!
