F-BOMBS: The FLOCCINOCCI & TIP Origin Story!

[@Smartdazzle]

It’s really fascinating to hear your story about your experiences with pitching to the networks as someone who is aspiring to get into the industry as a storyboard artist. Thank goodness for the internet that you can share your own cartoon! I’m very excited!!!

@@Smartdazzle Thank you! That means a lot. Stick around… the best is yet to come!

I like the talk. Your reply to the "what else you got" was much more polite and eloquent than I think I could have mustered in that moment. Pitching is a monster, and it's clear as studios get more and more risk-adverse over time that... they don't know what they want either. Other than they just what to buy someone else's successes once it's already been proven. So the only way anything new is ever gonna get made is if we pull up our sleeves and make it ourselves. Thanks for taking the risk, F.

Good luck with the premiere! Hopefully it's the first step into bigger and better things!

pretty excited to watch the show! I'm making my own animated series, I wont pitch it to any publisher I'll just post it on my yt channel!

[@gvlbright]

While I've never been part of the animation industry, I can understand the frustration it would cause to pour yourself into ideas over and over, and have them turned down on the spot (or worse, cancelled shortly after going into production). I'm curious to see where this goes for you and your team...those two DO look highly doodle-able, haha.

It’s just perfect that your final failed network pitch is now your channel’s first cartoon short. Gotta love that, and that you were so hands-off with your characters to let others direct, write, animate them, etc. is really something else too. I am also so for a cartoon that is just there to be fun and entertaining, without pretensions to grandiose plot, intricate character development and arcs (beyond that part of the gags)c being topical or moralizing, any of that. Not enough of that these days, least that’s actually quality.

[@Hillasir]

Looking forward to it!
