Just like the showreels, we reviewed three different project pitches.
Pitch 1
This pitch was about a short film called Locked Down. A short film about a dog named Flynn who is left at home and has to keep themselves entertained, which causes chaos and havoc wherever he goes. The presenter spoke slowly and clearly, explaining how and what he will use when animating Locked Down. He wants money so he can make improvements and make the animation as good as possible. He will also give posters, stickers, and other rewards for donating to his project. I thought this was a good pitch because it was clear and I could understand what they wanted.
Pitch 2
This pitch was about a short film called Not Any Smore. A short film about marshmallows retaliating to a scoutmaster for turning one of their friends into a smore. This looks professionally made, but even though the presenter spoke clearly, she wasn’t directly looking at the camera. Which meant she wasn’t directly talking to us. She seemed relaxed, friendly, and smiley. She needed a composer, a voice actor, and a sound designer to help with her project.
Pitch 3
This pitch was about a series called Silverfish, based on the show Gravity Falls. The project is about a college graduate going to New York to make a documentary, but he ends up in a mysterious town called Silverfish because of a storm in which he stays for 3 months. The presenter spoke clearly and was informative. They showed pictures of their project while they were talking, which explained what they were talking about, which engaged the audience and got their attention. They got feedback from other people to see if their project was good, as it is important. The presenter explained how they got their idea and they explained their history with working on a past project.
