Hello r/IndieAnimationScene subreddit!
I am planning on doing a Pitch Competition in this sub for Indie Animation Day (Aug 16th 2026).
The idea is this:
The competition will run from Aug 16th 12:00am EST to Aug 16th 11:59pm EST. During this time, I will make a flair called "Pitch Competition" available.
To participate in the competition you must post a pitch of your indie animation during the timeframe, and add the "Pitch Competition" flair.
The top 3 pitches with the most upvotes will be announced, and linked to, in the Community Highlights until the next Indie Animation Day comes around.
Suggested Things to include in a pitch:
- Logline
- Synopsis
- Characters
- Why this story?
- Format (Film/Show, Genre, theme, length, Target Audience, type of animation, serialized/episodic, etc.)
- Clips, wips, official art, concept art, etc.
Please vote to let me know if people would be interested in this! (Or if you have some concerns or suggestions)
Obviously there's writing the script and preparing a pitch bible, but what other things do you do to further your projects?
Sometime this weekend I'm going to have a friend film me ragdolling my younger brother around so that I can use it as an animation ref of a tweaker attacking my MC for not giving him a hug. My brother is a twink so he's the perfect physique for being thrown around. Unfortunately, I'm a big boy and not a twig thin tweaker but I'm the only one among my friends who is both tall and confident in the ability to throw that styrofoam twink like an unwanted newborn, so I'll just have to use my imagination when rotoscoping the assault.
I have a friend currently working on a 3d background for a different fight scene, and I have a rough 3d model of some bleachers I need to add more detail to later.
I've spent a small fortune and a kidney on recording equipment and behind the scenes I'm trying to hire local VAs to support my local theater gremlins. They might afford a vending machine snack when this is over.
I've also commissioned two people for music for the pilot. One person doing the anime opening and the other doing the OST.
(For those following my project, sorry I don't have anything new to show. I've been working on a bunch of the more boring, ax-sharpening sides of things, which is why I'm posting this discussion topic, as well as trying to grind out pages of the webcomic to catch up with that)
