Whether a novice curious about the cartoon production process, a visual arts student who has not yet experienced that big break, or a seasoned professional looking for valuable insight, Animation Development is the go-to guide for creating the perfect pitch. David Levy has been through every aspect of the pitching process--preparation, hope, rejection, success--and now he wraps up his valuable experience to deliver this comprehensive guide on the industry and process. Animation Development will help readers discover how to tap into their creativity to develop something personal yet universal, push projects through collaborations and partnerships, set up pitch meetings, get legal representation and agents, and manage the emotional roller-coaster common to the pitching and development process.

    No he encontrado, ni creo que haya un libro tan específico sobre este tema tan concreto. Algunos apartados son simplemente sentido común pero en general es muy útil.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Read this Book Before Pitching Your Story: you won't regret it.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This is an excellent book and reading it gave me the preparation and confidence I needed to enter and win a Pitching Contest. Most of it is common sense, but the book is laid out clearly and and you can apply its suggestions to your pitch immediately. There are plenty of example of pitches in here that later became household names; you see right away why something worked and why it may be worth trying for your own Pitch. This isn't a one-all reference, there are very good videos and podcasts on this subject that should also be included in a writer's/artist's preparation, but this book was extremely helpful in filling the holes. This book is worth much more than its price.

    David B. Levy does an amazing job introducing the many facets of the development process and the competitive edge needed to succeed in this business. For people new to the animation industry, this book will detail the path other creators have taken to develop and pitch their projects and will also give expert advise from network execs. For experienced veterans, Levy's honesty and self-analysis will connect with anyone who has faced rejection or self-doubt while pursuing a dream. This book is an easy read and leaves us with a clearer perspective of what is truly important in life.
