Animated Obstacles

Obstacles in getting an animated project made:

  • Funding - Finding sources of finance
  • Finding the talent to create the project
  • Legal documentation clarity
  • Distribution strategy

I had the opportunity to speak to an animation producer from Netflix, and he told me that in order to get your ideas in front of a development executive, you will need a lawyer to represent you and/ or an agent. The reason for this is because the studios do not want unsolicited ideas to prevent lawsuits that claim a story or idea was stolen.

Regarding the other bullet points, I will have to do some research to try and alleviate those pain points.
