A big hello and all that.
« on: August 11, 2011, 08:43:44 PM »
Hi all,
Figured I'd drop in and say hello to everyone before I go on about my business on this here forum :)
So, how is everyone? Good? Good.
So, me, umm....well my name is Paul and I'm a major Science Fiction/Fantasy fan, so it will come as no surprise that I will be pitching my Sci-Fi idea in short order to get some feedback, that is if I can find the Pitch/Pilot Warehouse, which I can't seem to at the moment.
But anyway, more about me......
I'm a freelance Graphic and Multimedia Designer specialising in Web Design and 3D Modelling based in the UK who likes to dabble in the writing arena.  But to be honest, I'm not a great writer.  Ideas yes, writing....not so much, but I'm working on it :)
Not a great deal of info, but y'know, it's a start. :)

Welcome!

The pitching area is further down the forum. Or you can click here, though please read the guidelines first. Then read them again to be sure.

We also allow movie/mini-series pitches and webisode pitches. Again, all further down the forum.

Any questions, we're always available.

Heya,

Thanks for the quick reply, and the welcome :) Already read through the guidelines a couple of time already don't worry :)

The idea I've got isn't anywhere near ready for an 'official' pitch yet anyway (it's currently in movie format and I want to switch it over to a series, so quite a bit of work)

Am I right in thinking the place to post what I have and get some feedback is the 'Get It Out Of Your System Pitches and Pilots' section?  Don't want to annoy people my first day here LOL

Thanks
TheMightySpud

Yep, once you've reached 25 posts that would be the ideal place for it.

Pitches in the main forum are for consideration in our biannual Pilot Season. But you're better off getting the lay of the land before going down that route.

Okay cool thanks for that, don't worry, my idea isn't going to be ready for an 'official' pitch for at least six months, the intention was to gauge reactions from people on the initial idea and (movie) script and then go from there :)

Thanks Trix :)

Oh, forgot to ask, is there somewhere I can offer my Graphics services?  I noticed there's a forum for people asking for help, just wondered if there was something on the Flipside. :)

Okay, quoting The Simpsons gets about 2000 brownie points. You'll fit in well here.

The Graphic Station would be fine unofficial avenue. Or you could use Calling All Staffers! for a more official route. Either is fine. Including samples is extra fine.

There is not a line from the first 10 seasons of The Simpsons that I don't know ;) It would be my specialist subject on a quiz show.
