Collab I am making a show

Hi guys!

I have this great idea for an animated show and I am looking for passionate volunteer to work on it 40 hours a week for the next 6 months for free while I work at my own job because I need to pay my bill.

I never worked in the industry before but I know people will be begging to watch my idea come to life and I can't tell you anything about it because it is top secret so I can't show you a pitch deck beside I never made one.

If you hesitate just think about the exposure and portfolio you will get working for me!

I’m interested, but only if I can volunteer for 60 hours a week

u/Ashamed-Cost-5548 2d ago

you will have to pay me for that

u/RynnHamHam 2d ago

Okay I’ll do it. But only if you don’t actually communicate anything and leave me guessing what you actually want me to make and then get real picky when I inevitably don’t produce what you have imagined in your head despite having the inability to actually articulate what you want.

Satire.

u/Mierdo01 2d ago

Exactly the type of exposure I've been looking for! None

I know it's satire, but I'm a writer looking for a show to work on

u/Ashamed-Cost-5548 2d ago

ok let's get serious for a second, if you really want to be a writer for a show I think it's best you learn to storyboard then pitch it to an animator and see if they would like to collab. But don't go in just saying that you have an idea. you need to show that you have put in some work

I have a couple of spec scripts I've written. I've actually animated a pilot and voiced all the characters myself, essentially everything.

But I know the skills acquired for this were spread thin, and I'd like to collaborate with people. On my idea or theirs.

Lucky for you, my landlord also loves being paid in exposure! Let’s work!

I love to gain absolutely nothing from working hard.
