Time to Pitch! |
This pitch presentation is where our students present their second idea for a short film, documentary or teaser/trailer. What sort of story do you want to tell? Who are the characters, and why do we care about them? What is the hook? Why do we the audience want to see this film?
Your eight minute pitch is your chance to capture your audience's attention, intrigue them, and make them want more.
This module is the culmination of the second year of study at Escape Studios, where our students begin to focus on individual proficiency in the craft of animation, and also work together in groups to produce short films.
Live Client Project
The Studio Projects are designed to simulate as closely as possible the experience of working on a live client project. PR5001 runs until the end of May, with two weeks off for the Easter holidays. The Studio Project is broken up into two six week projects, giving students the chance to practice their film-making, animation, and story-telling skills.

Anyone Can Pitch
Any of our students can pitch their ideas, and we also welcome pitches from other students at Escape studios, such as those studying Storyboarding and previsualisation.
Project A Complete
Our students have already completed Project A, and all three films are currently being entered into festival competition, including Isolation, Pet Shop and A Long Way Home.
How to Pitch
For a brief introduction to the art of the pitch, watch the short video below.
Each student will have eight minutes to make their pitch, then two more minutes to take questions, and get feedback. Ask yourself these key questions:
Turn on your Camera!
Pitching is about making a connection with your audience. If you don't believe in your project - why should anybody else? If your project bores you - it will bore others too. So be upbeat and positive, dress nicely (no pyjamas), turn on your camera, and make eye contact with your audience. Don't be an anonymous pitcher.
