Pitching

Over the last 2 weeks we have pitched our film ideas to Jared, Alan and Dave Bull twice. My first presentation got bogged down in the reason for having the text and whether or not I was trying to create the new big thing in educational children's literature. Which I'm not! Since then I've been researching a lot of children's illustration and putting together an animatic to better explain my how I envision the text and image will work together.  The second time round I left my story out of the presentation as that hadn't changed much, and just showed this new animatic.  The sound I've used is just a scratch track so far.  Ideally I am looking for something more busy and upbeat at the beginning, and something that flows from section to section.

This time everyone seemed to get excited about the idea and wanted to add they're own suggestions for where the text could go.  This is the best that I could possibly have hoped for.  Now I know I just need to bash out my story for the next 10 days so its ready for the formative hand-in. If I'd have showed my whole animatic they would have torn me apart!
