Session 4: Roundtable 3 - Matt Pitt - Animation Director
Congrats, you got your funding. Now comes the hard part: actually making the thing without blowing the budget.
Join Matt Pitt for a practical conversation about the realities of taking a funded animation project into production — including the lessons, easy wins and pitfalls that aren't always obvious when you're developing the idea or putting together the budget.
Matt will share some of what he’s learned from making shows and films, then open the conversation to the table to discuss what worked, what didn't, where budgets can get away from you, and what creators should think about before production begins.
Already made something? Come ready to share a lesson you learned the hard way. About to make your first project? Bring your questions.
The aim is to leave with some practical insights that might save you time, money and a few production headaches on your next project."Congrats, you got your funding. Now, how do you actually get it made without blowing the budget". Discussing lessons people have learned creating shows and films, and prepping those who haven't for the realities, easy wins and pitfalls of running a production.
