Aspiring Producer Launching First Sitcom

Hi everyone! I’m an aspiring producer and animator currently working on my very first stopmotion sitcom project called Clownz, a quirky, adult animated series about a group of clown dolls navigating life together. Each character has their own personality, and the show leans into chaotic comedy with heart. I’m currently raising funds to bring my episodes to life. If interested in more of the show details or fundraiser, let me know.

Hi, Vanessa Smith. Welcome to the community. A stop-motion adult animated series about clown dolls navigating life together sounds interesting! I'd definitely watch it.

Hey, Vanessa Smith. Great. I'm about to check out your logline.

Vanessa Smith

Hi Wesley! Thanks for your interest in my project. I'd love to connect with you, right now I have used AI to make the Clownz theme music which is about 17 seconds but I would need a composer for end credits & within the episodes.

Wesley Amorim

Thanks for your response Vanessa.

I’ll send you a connection invitation so we can discuss it further. :)
