Description:
I'm an art designer and animation director, I've done several projects with my people since 2004 but were working as freelancers. Right now I have the opportunity to work with start up tv producers in Los Angeles, one of them is already a hired tv series writer for NBC. We are currently producing the animation for 1 pilot and I'm working on the script of a second series. I am working with a video home director called Julio Aldama to make 2 movies, one of them is about to be picked up by Videocine. Of one of the TV series I own 40% of the royalties, of the second I'm still negotiating but I expect to have around 20%, of the movies I will own 30% or 40% too as we are still working on that aspect. I have hired a team of animators in India and they are investing in equipment and resourses to be able to cover the workload. I also want to invest in the business and be able to supply everything needed without problems. I have little people working here for me now, but I wish to finally bring them all together in one place so we can work in synergy. You can see a sample of what we can do, both the Mexican and the Indian team on our new demoreel right here: (URL removed)
Once one of the series is sold we have to stablish a studio in Los Angeles to work next to the producers.
We are good, we just need a push to be great.
