Episode 14: Elyse Castro Creator Of The Summoning Shares How She Pitched Her Show Idea To Frederator

This episode of the Animation Industry Podcast features Elyse Castro, creator of The Summoning on Cartoon Hangover, on how she pitched her show idea to Frederator. You’ll also learn: *How ridiculously simple Elyse’s pitch was *Everything you need to put together your own pitch (and all the stuff you don’t actually need to do) *The different types of tension that will make the story better Two years ago I saw a post on Reddit titled, “My friend showed me her comic strip for feedback before she entered it in a competition. It won, and today "The Summoning" came out on Cartoon Hangover.” The post had racked up nearly a thousand comments and the video itself was well over a million views. So I watched it and like everyone else, immediately fell in love with the short’s clever cat witch, her cat sidekick, and their poo-eating bunny nemesis. This was well before I began my own journey into animation and to me at that time it seemed impossible that someone had written a comic and somehow gotten it made into a complete show - and a ridiculously good one at that! So, here I am today, talking with Elyse Castro from Australia, the one who wrote The Summoning, and her journey on what it was like turning it into a show and what’s next for her.
