I'm Back!
9 years ago
If you didnt know, I was away for about 2 weeks taking a Nickelodeon Pitching Class in Monterey Bay and it was AWESOME!!! I usually dont talk about my personal/travel stories on here cause a lot of them are boring lol, but this one was too cool not to share, plus I feel like some of you might be interested in this sorta thing xD
I dormed with a friend from my college who also got into the program (there were only 3 of us from my college that got in xD) and I also met a high school friend who I havent seen in 6 years who also got in, so that was pretty cool! Basically the premise of the class was to create a TV show pitch for Nickelodeon in 2 weeks. We got split into teams of 3 and we each had to come up with an animated tv show idea based off of random themes assigned to us (so we couldnt go into the class with an idea already in mind). My theme was "disguises" btw lol. There were also different 'jobs' assigned to our themes, like someone would be assigned character designer with a red color on their tag for example. So we had to find people with different colors from us to work together. In a nutshell, our tv show idea was about a trio of bugs who solve problems together and run a fruit juice stand. We..we had really wierd themes that didnt connect at all xD But we made it work! Dont think it will get picked up though but its the experience that matters haha.
Anyways I REALLY really enjoyed this experience a lot ;u; We had to work REALLY long hours tho cause we had to get this thing done in such a short time, so I literally had NO TIME to work on anything else. x_x The living standards there I would give a 6/10 haha but no one really cared cause everyone was super lovely and we were pretty much a big happy family xD My teammates were really chill and cool, and we actually heard that we were the chillest out of all the groups cause we barely argued at all lol (arguing and tension is natural during these things haha). The guest artists from Nick and our teachers were also super cool, friendly and helpful. <3 I also learned all the in and outs of how cartoon ideas get pitched and then get developed into actual TV shows, so if you're interested in this sorta thing feel free to ask me stuff cause I'm like a fountain of knowledge right now. xD Nickelodeon also gave us a lot of cool presents too haha. I would totally do this again but unfortunately they wont be having this program next year D: But we will be having a reunion at CTN (Creative Talent Network) in November so I'll defs be trying to go to that. :D I still dont know if I can post the artwork I did for my pitch here yet, but maybe later on!
I'm still trying to figure out my life right now so it'll take me a bit to get back to working again. But I'll for sure start catching up on things soon! haha

Anyway, so glad you had a lot of fun! And it's an impressive thing to add to your resume.
Thanks! Yeah definitely! :D
So there is another situation like that. X3
But goddamn dude, that is like a monument compared to like...most artists here.
Yeah all of my peers had really impressive stuff, made me wonder how I even got in this program haha xD
