This episode of the Animation Industry Podcast features Elyse Castro, creator of The Summoning on Cartoon Hangover, on how she pitched her show idea to Frederator.

You’ll also learn:
*How ridiculously simple Elyse’s pitch was
*Everything you need to put together your own pitch (and all the stuff you don’t actually need to do)
*The different types of tension that will make the story better

Two years ago I saw a post on Reddit titled, “My friend showed me her comic strip for feedback before she entered it in a competition. It won, and today "The Summoning" came out on Cartoon Hangover.”

The post had racked up nearly a thousand comments and the video itself was well over a million views. So I watched it and like everyone else, immediately fell in love with the short’s clever cat witch, her cat sidekick, and their poo-eating bunny nemesis.

This was well before I began my own journey into animation and to me at that time it seemed impossible that someone had written a comic and somehow gotten it made into a complete show - and a ridiculously good one at that!

So, here I am today, talking with Elyse Castro from Australia, the one who wrote The Summoning, and her journey on what it was like turning it into a show and what’s next for her.
