Hi Stephen! I hope all is well with you and your cartoons! We can’t wait to see more! Yeah; my fifth and final storyboard for show number 2; entitled, “OH!…………it’s Larry” is due next Friday. This new cartoon is from an idea I started developing 3 years ago. It’s called, “MotorVille.” I always wanted to do a car show since I love cartoons and hot rods so much! Take care, Stephen and thanks again for all your wonderful comments to all of us who post artwork on the Frederator show blogs. You’re such a great, loyal fan!!!!! We’ll talk soon! Your Cartoon Pal….. Jeff

I’ll surely let you kno what happens with mine! All the best!… Steve

You pitching to Eric and Larry? Good luck man…I’m working on our 2 follow up pitches too. The first one took so long though. Does this make me greedy or just bursting at the seams with ideas? Ha!

Hey Manny Man…… Thanks for the good luck and the same to you! No, you’re not greedy. You just have a lot of great ideas that you need to get out of your creative mind! Pitching is a great experience! Was your first pitch too long with story content, or did it take too long to pitch? If your show’s too long, (like mine usually) and it’s a solid story with a lot of good stuff, you can make good solid cuts and still have the story hook up and still work seamlessly. But still in those cases, we need to add more business for the hook ups. Take care, Manny! And good luck again! Give them all you got and keep giving them quality!!!

Well it was long in content and long in development. Our first pass on the script ened up being 14 minutes long…had to lose some of my favorite scenes….it’s like losing a child sometimes, but it had to come down to 7 minutes….and 7 minutes isn’t as long as it might sound. Also working a full time job and trying to sync up with Alan and Fred was fairly difficult as well. And you are right about too many ideas, thankfully my job here at Nick allows me an outlet for most of it.

Good luck, Jeff! I’ve been pitching so fast and furious that I haven’t had a chance to show you what I’ve been up to, but I’d still like to. Hopefully, I’ll see you soon!
