Tuition:
$179.99
This foundational course starts with the basic ABCs
of writing
for daytime animation. From Animaniacs, to Batman, to Cars
Toons-and
beyond, Daytime Animation paints a landscape
of unique worlds with unique rules.
How is writing for daytime
cartoons traditionally different than writing for
live-action,
primetime animation, or an animated feature? What can
carton mice
like Pinky and the Brain do that even Superman
can't? Why can the Animaniacs
climb all over Bill Clinton,
but Batman can't get near him? Why can you create
scores
of new characters for some animated shows, but maybe not
for one animated
by Pixar? What's the difference between a
great story idea and a great story
idea that will work for a
specific show? -First steps into that Bat (fat cat,
cartoon rat,
run-off-a-cliff-tread-air-and-KERSPLAT) Cave starts here.
������Through online lectures, animation watching,
written assignments, and
optional exercises, this course
supplies a cartoon-writing utility belt of
understanding how to
write for Daytime Animation programming.
Course Outline:
- Session 1: The Foundational Foundation
- Session 2: Decoding The Animation Show. (Decoder Ring optional)

In this online writing course you will learn:

All of Screenwriters University's workshops
are designed to fit into even
the busiest of schedules. The workshops have no
set meeting time. You
can sign in and read lectures, complete and submit
assignments, and
participate in discussions on a timetable that fits your needs.
This workshop
will consist of four, one-week sessions. Each session includes an
online
lecture as well as a writing assignment that will be submitted to the
instructor
for private review, along with various additional creative exercises
and
supplements. Student work can also be posted for group review and feedback.
Throughout the workshop you will be able to participate in asynchronous
lecture
discussions, and you're encouraged to take advantage of your
