Animation Bible (A general outline for pitching a series idea to networks and/or investors) * Author’s note: The following outline structure is based on a real studio bible. This model has proven successful in helping a certain studio to acquire network approval and production funding for a 2D animated children’s series (name of studio not disclosed in order to retain confidentiality as well as to guard against copyright infringement). The following information is not written in stone as pertaining to the creation of a series bible. Series’ creators use their own methods and styles in the production of their bibles and what this compilation hopes to provide is an example of one such bible format, a structure in which one may refer to as a model in their own bible creation. Consider this a basic ‘blueprint’, subject to modification. Thank you! R.F. GENERAL OUTLINE STRUCTURE >> Cover page - Title page of the proposed series name (I.e. “The Adventures of DUCK SOUP”) >> “Series Concept” page(s)– Identify the show length and format that you hope to fulfill (i.e. 10 X 30-minute 2D animated children’s series). This page should also describe the concept itself. It could span over a few pages in length, depending upon the amount of thought you wish to purvey behind the show’s idea, tone of program, philosophy, etc. >> “Characters” page(s) – In this section, identify the ‘Protagonists’ and ‘Antagonists’ that you are projecting as main characters. Again, this may require more than one page to cover.
