WIF.D Teams With Industry Giants 2008 |
Join Women In Film.Dallas this Friday from 9:30 AM to 12 Noon at CCCC as WIF.D presents, “Pitching and Producing Your Animation Concept” by LA Producer Rita Street!
Whether you’re a working animator or a student about to graduate, you need to know how this highly specialized area of television animation sales actually works. Pitching the animated series and landing a sale is an art form all its own and demands a unique tool kit. In this session, you’ll learn how to fill up your own animated tool box with strong character profiles, producer know-how and a sales bible that will help buyers visualize your unique concept.
This presentation is ideal for anyone who wants to sell an animated TV series or wants to understand the changing global aspects of the current television animation landscape.
Rita Street, President of Radar Cartoons, a Producer’s representation firm specializing in the development and sales of original animation content, has placed numerous shows into development including "Ruby Gloom" for YTV and Nelvana, "Frankenstein’s Cat" for the BBC, France 3 and McKinnon & Saunders, and Hero: 108 for Gamania Digital Entertainment, Mike Young Productions and Cartoon Network Europe. Rita is working on her first animated short, "Mock ‘n Boyd" with Dainty Productions. Additional credits include work as publisher of Animation Magazine, editor of Film & Video Magazine and author of the Rockport Publisher hardback, Computer Animation: A Whole New World. Rita is the founder of the international non-profit organization, Women in Animation.
The session is this June 6, Friday 9:30 am - 12:00 PM at the Spring Creek Campus of Collin County Community College, 2800 E. Spring Creek Pkwy., Plano TX., Room C104 as part of this great two day event.
