On Thursday (12.02) we had a talk from Sarah Muller (head of CBBC drama development, animation & acquisitions) and Andrew Burrell (CBBC producer/series script editor).Sarah Muller talked about various shows that are included in CBBC programme, such as Arthur and ScoobyDoo. She also mentions couple of things regarding new shows that are coming to CBBC. She encouraged young animators to publish their shorts on YouTube. With large number of views and subscribers, chances to be discovered by big TV station are high. Moreover, the way kids what shows this days are changing, with short, few minutes long episodes being really popular. Currently, what CBBC is looking for are more adult aimed series and a character-driven stories. Ideas have to stand out, be unique and interesting. They also would like to have a shows like Family Guy or The Simpsons, but aimed at young audience (pre-school kids).
Andrew Burrell talked about script writing for animated series. He pointed out many interesting facts about writing, how to create an interesting character and story, that'll fuel 52 episode long serie.
Overall, it was a very interesting talk and a great way to listen to the people who work in the animation industry.
