Writing the Animated Pilot

SCRIPT X 463.8E

Develop a half-hour animated pilot while learning the ins and outs of this unique genre of television.

About this course:

Writing for animation is a skill, one that requires knowledge of craft and technicals often learned on the job. At the same time, film and television run on pilots now. Execs want to see your individual voice on the page before they consider you for staffing. In this course, you will learn (1) the craft of writing animation, including its history as a medium and the technical knowledge that affects our jobs as writers, and also (2) the art of structuring and ultimately writing a satisfying TV pilot--techniques which go beyond the world of animation. The two things necessary to get and ultimately maintain a job as a writer. The goal of this course is to finish with a half hour animated pilot script you can use to get work in animation.

Prerequisites

SCRIPT X 462.1E Writing Animation, or SCRIPT X 421.2 Half-Hour TV II, or equivalent, or department approval.
