Stop-motion is one of the animation genres. It means that in cartoons production will be used various materials like paper, plasticine, real tings etc. The target audience is from 0 to 14.

An animation studio works not only on one product but also on finding and pitching ideas, a co-production with other studios at the same time. There’re a lot of things come up in the studio: toys and merchandise concepts, applications & game concepts, sound production, sounding and localization animation products, etc.

Several ideas are ready for production.
Actors and actress of voice were founded.

Our target audience is girls 4-6 years old and their parents (usually moms).

We need investments to start filming a pilot. When this process is started we gonna keep selecting ideas to realize.

The main goal is production one season or half of the season stop-motion cartoons TV-show. Production various merchandising stuff, apps, games.
The first step is production pilot (about 3 series) to pitch 'em for broadcasters and top-rated animation studies.

The animation is the most competitive business, but it's fun and gives company a chance get money not only for selling a product to broadcasters but also there's a big perspective to be successful in licensing.

A well-written and filmed idea is a key to TV. Stop-motion is the cheapest way to start production animation TV-series.

I expect the product will be done until fall. The product will have high profitability.

Risks are high in this business. Only one idea, from 100 ideas, goes to second or third pitching. Only one idea among hundreds of pre-pitched ideas has a chance to be shown.
