"Oni: Thunder God's Tale" - CG animated series by Dice Tsutsumi & Tonko House studio



- Synopsis:
In a world filled with Japanese mythological oddball gods and monsters, one of the creatures' free-spirited daughters, Onari, is determined to follow in the footsteps of the mighty heroes of lore, but her unique powers are yet to be revealed. Does she have what it takes to fight to protect her peaceful village from the encroaching threat of the gods' mysterious enemies, the "Oni"?

- Quote from Director Dice Tsutsumi:
The story of a brave girl caught between two worlds divided is, at its core, not only a very personal story for me, but one that's become personal for everyone involved including our absolute dream cast. Every one of these incredible talents from our dream list accepted with such passion and empathy for the story, and collaborating with them has been equally humbling and inspiring. They've given souls to our characters and unparalleled performances for our animators.

Pitching and Developing Animated Projects





The Art of the Pitch

Pitching is an art in itself, and a tricky one to master. Animators don't tend to be skilled at pitching; why would be? We're not natural extroverts; if we did - we'd be actors. But to sell a TV or web series, animators need to be able to pitch their ideas.


Common Pitfalls

Pitching is hard to get good at, and there are many pitfalls for the unwary. Common problems include:

Not clearly identifying the title and characters. What is your story about? Your first slide should show clearly what the series title is, and who the main character is - with a good strapline. A good One Sheet will help a lot.

Too much text. Your audience can't read your slides and listen to you at the same time. If they are reading - they aren't listening. Keep text to a minimum; the focus should be on you.

Reading the pitch. Don't read out your pitch - it's boring to hear someone reading a script. Memorise your pitch, and use your slides as visual cues.


Too Many Characters

You should have one main character and then perhaps four supporting characters. Don't get bogged down in the detail of too many other characters - the audience will get confused about who is important.

Too much plot. There is a difference between story and plot. The audience wants to know if your main premise is interesting; they don't need to know too much plot detail.

The Bad Guys - Proof of Concept (2018)



From Pierre Perifel:
This is where it all started 3 and a half years ago… I isolated for a couple months to do a proof of concept for The Bad Guys movie. It ended up being a fake trailer. We had a first draft of the script, but I wanted to see how it could play on the screen, incorporating the heist genre and my own sense of style, animation and design. I storyboarded the whole thing and shipped it all to my dear animatic editor, John Venzon, to cut it together. Obviously, we used temp music and scratch actors, but ultimately this got us far enough to get us moving into the real deal. Sometimes a proof of concept can be the key to bring everyone onto the same page. Lesson learned, and clearly some of the most creative couple months I ever had. The final film isn’t too far off.
