Hello folks! I'm excited and looking forward to meet all of you!
What a great topic! Excited to moderate :)
Questions based on the presentation:
How would you handle a planned multilingual release? Simply animate based or primary language or are there strategies to adjust the text to better fit a multilingual approach from the start?
Where does music fit into your process – better to have prior to animation for timing and set animation to the music?Can you post a link to to the Youtube short for Fulton St? I am not able to quickly pull it up.
Hi! Thanks so much for this class. I am a recent graduate in NYC.
Question:
What are some good potential avenues/resources for people starting out in adult animation, (i.e. making shorts, mentorship, platforms, etc) such as "Adult Swim Smalls"
QUESTIONS:
How do you approach a network when soliciting a pitch?
How do you negotiate the sale?
Thank you, Kimson! I have written a few animated family screenplays and had no clue what happens and how with regard to producing. This information will give me the patience needed once optioned (with luck).
As writers, we're wondering the best way to attract a production company. Besides a strong script and solid concept, what else can we do to stand out and get a production company on board with our project?
what's the relationship between panel and scene ? -is panel kinds like a frame by frame layout of scene?
If starting off with short projects to get your project out there is there an ideal duration.
Do you have preferred sites to find freelancers (Behance, Artstation, etc)?
If you were choosing to do a small project, do you have favoured locations (to maximize tax credits, grants and the like)? Many smaller studios (Titmouse, etc) often still use a lot of international freelancers. South Carolina? Vancouver/Montreal?
Question: For animated TV series, how long does it usually take for creators to polish the idea of pilot for pitch in the initial planning stage? To what extent do you generally need to make sure your story is mature enough to start formal development?
Interesting point: is it better to publish your story first and then animate ? or makes no difference?
Question 2: For the animated series adapted from comic or manga, what the most critical works should director or the creative team do in screenwriting and storyboard aspect to fit the format and feature of the show.
Question: What are best practices for soliciting notes/feedback from fellow animators and filmmakers in the animatic stage?
Any tips for animating comedy?
Thank you!

Thanks for the great talk. If ever repeated in the future would really like to see a bit more time spent on the "actually get it made" portion of the talk. Tips on seeking out and screening freelancers, small studios, choosing the country for the work, and the like. I was hoping for details beyond "Look on Google, Twitter, Linkedin" and more like a list of some studios or countries to narrow the focus to assist in building a team for developing a project at various budget levels. Thanks again.

Thanks again for the presentation. I guess my final comments would be to express my hope that Mr. Albert will take a bit of time to respond to some of the questions here that he did not have time to address during the presentation. Again I am personally interested on the aspects of screening and building your team/studio for bringing your vision to life.
For other participants, 2 other excellent videos from YouTube on this subject (among MANY others) are the following.
