Secrets of Animated Movies and TV Shows

From comic book and graphic novel adaptations to Pixar, Disney, and Japanese-style anime, animated movies and television form a huge and growing segment of today’s movie market. But breaking into this market as a writer is not exactly like trying to sell a live-action feature script. Animation has its own unwritten rules, conventions, and practices.
Ken Rotcop, former Creative Head of Hanna-Barbera Studios, delivers a succinct introduction to the art and business of writing for animation, offering practical know-how for anyone wanting to bring an animated story from his/her imagination onto the screen.

You’ll learn:

  • What is a “Letter of Agreement,” and why do you need one?
  • Treatment vs. synopsis in animation, and how to create a step outline.
  • Why your villain is the most important character.
  • Why you shouldn’t be scared to sign a studio release form.
  • And why it’s important to write the animated story you believe in—regardless of naysayers!
