I've just written this six-part sketch comedy series, which I've never done before. And I don't know how to pitch it. Am I supposed to just pick up a camera and put stuff on YouTube? Is that how it works?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that.
I've learned to wait 'til an idea is worth making. That's not really a lesson I've learned; I sort of always did it that way. But there's no reason or need to make videos prior to when you make a show, because then you need material for it.
If you look at any successful skit comedy show, ever, there is that format of introducing you to the player in the beginning, and then going on to see those sketches.
A sketch is just a mini movie.
I can help you shape your sitcom, I can help you think about what could make your sketch show better, but it won't help you get you a commission.
The storyboard artists job is to plan out shot for shot the whole show, write all the dialog, and decide the mood, action, jokes, pacing, etc of every scene.
With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.
I don't know how to do a show not in front of a live audience.
I don't have to pitch movies. I'm no good at it!
I come up with the ideas for my videos, and I write the lyrics and choreograph them, and I direct them and tell everyone what to do and how I want them to sing the parts and do the tongue pops and eye rolls and stuff like that.
