An animation pitchbook should be comprehensive, engaging, and illustrative of your project’s potential. Here are some crucial components you should include:
1. Logline and Synopsis
Begin with a compelling logline—a one-sentence summary of your animation project. It should be catchy and intriguing to pique interest. Follow it up with a more detailed synopsis or overview of the series or film.
2. Concept Art
Include concept art to give a visual impression of your animation project. This could include character designs, environments, color scripts, and other relevant visuals. It helps investors or production companies understand the look and feel of the potential animation product.
3. Character Descriptions
Provide detailed profiles of the main characters. Include their physical descriptions, roles, motivations, key relationships, and any unique traits. It’s all about bringing your characters to life and making them relatable to the audience.
4. Episode Summaries or Script Excerpts
If you’re pitching a series, include summaries for a few potential episodes. If it’s a film, consider including a few key script excerpts. This gives a taste of the narrative style and the types of stories you plan to tell.
5. Market Research and Target Audience
Include detailed information about your target audience and the potential market for your animation. This shows you’ve considered who will watch your animation and why it would appeal to them. Also, include any relevant trends or data that support your project’s viability.
6. Production Plan and Budget
Outline a tentative production plan including the timeline, key milestones, and the estimated budget. This shows potential investors that you have a clear plan for executing the project.
7. Team Bios
If you’ve already got a team assembled, provide brief bios highlighting their experience and skills. This adds credibility to the project and gives potential investors confidence in your team’s ability to deliver.
Remember, the goal of a pitchbook is to sell your animation project as a compelling, viable, and profitable venture. Each element should be tailored to engage and reassure potential investors or production companies.
