Abstract
Television pitches are the first step towards launching a series. This paper focuses on that process and answers the question, “from developing concept art to preparing a polished and professional pitch, what are best practices for winning a network contract?” Getting a pitch requires several steps, such as finding an agent or a producer, and presenting the story, character relationships, and artwork to show your vision. Using my project, “Dynamite Decoys,” to create a story line, sketches, turnaround sheets, and key art scene pieces, I put it all together to formulate a television-ready pitch.
