In response to people asking me is it safe and should they really be pitching their ideas to studios. I wanted to shed a little more light. The real lesson in all this is Persistence. No matter how hard you work for success, if your thought is saturated with the fear of failure, it will kill your efforts, neutralize your endeavors and make success impossible. ~ Baudjuin Pitching to an established animated studio is just one possible avenue and is not the only way. I do believe in creating your own IPs and doing your best, trying to take it as far as you know how to go. Understanding how to develop your ideas through comic books, comic strips, apps, graphic novels, toys , animated shorts, etc… can lead to potential interest from a variety of production companies. Having your own network cartoon can be very exciting and rewarding to. Any time a creative person sells a show, it creates jobs for many artists which is always a great thing. With this said, you may also want to consider that companies such as YouTube have a lot of interest in original animation content. Animation is one of the areas that YouTube has a long history and a really high demand, said Graham Bennett, YouTube’s strategic brand manager. Beyond independent creators developing their own YouTube content and building large audiences and revenue, there are also many independent companies outside of the networks creating their own content and could be a source to pitch shows to as well. YouTube channels such as Mondo Media, Shut Up Cartoons, cartoon hangover, etc… These companies have taken control of their own destiny, not relying on network decisions, but viewer decisions. I say, try pitching a show if this is of interest to you, but if one guy says no, do not let that opinion stop you from pursuing a good idea. If you have a good idea, create it, get it started. Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs Content is king and many companies such as YouTube, Hulu, and Netflix are all in the game of animated series content. It is the future. Cartoons are here to stay forever, as long as there are kids at heart on this planet. So never be disappointed or stop moving forward if you get turned down at first, keep pitching, keep creating. What comes first is the idea and then build your story, create intriguing characters and provide your audience with entertainment. If you truly have a talent, something amazing to show whether it be your music, acting ability, etc YouTube is the new Hollywood. With Youtube you can become the producer, director, actor, musician, and if you do it right your videos will go viral. Then you will not only make a lot of money from the YouTube ad program but you will become very well known across the Internet and eventually beyond. terrektwo.hubpages If this is an area you wish to explore, take control and give yourself the ability to TRY, you are invited to learn all about the building blocks with Mike Milo, 2 time Emmy award winning, 6 time nominated animator, director, writer, producer and designer.

He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff. Charles Schultz had every cartoon he submitted rejected by his high school yearbook staff. Oh, and Walt Disney wouldnt hire him. 12 publishers rejected J.K.
