The Animation Co-op

I am new to AWN so I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for my question. I published a children's book several years ago which is perfect for an animated short.  I need collaborators / joint venturers since I cannot produce this myself as I know nothing about this industry. It is a Christmas story and was illustrated in "animation" style.  Kids ask me when I will make it into a movie, so I am exploring this option. If you are an independent studio looking for a wonderful, inspiring story and well developed characters, please contact me.  Thank you!

Hi, Charlie -- I do not have a link as the book was published about 10 years ago.  But I am happy to mail you a copy if that would work for you. 

Thank you!

Hey Letty,

I work for an animation studio and we're currently creating an animated series for a children's book author so this is definitely in our wheelhouse! 

 

Would love to walk you through the process :)

 

Thanks

Can I mail you a copy of the book?  It is self-published and I do not have a digital copy, although I could scan to pdf if that's easier for you.  I have sold it at book fairs, festivals, summer library events, and a local bookstore.  Kids say it would make a great cartoon.  I worked with a producer numerous years ago but children's animation wasn't wasn't really her niche.  I've had this on the back burner for awhile due to job and child-rearing, and would love to see what you could do with it!  I do own all rights to the illustrations, characters and story so there are no hindrances to development.  Thank you!

I also have two other books that are picture books (in rhyme) for young children...these seem to be good for the type of animation you are doing.  One is about dealing with scary things at night and the other is about nature and our surroundings.  Again, I own all rights and illustrations so there are no hindrances to development.  After looking at your link I think you could do something with these as they are "learning" books.  The one about nature is so that young children can view it as a living part of their world.  and of course the other one is a universal theme -- every kid is scared of imaginary things at night!  I don't have a link but I can send you a pdf scan of each book if that would work for you.  Thank you very much!

Hey! If you're looking for voice overs for the characters feel free to contact me! I work for a children's book company and have been doing voice overs for them for over three years now. I've also voiced characters for book trailers for publishers like Candlewick, HarperCollins and Macmillan Kids!

Hi!  Sorry the link didn't work.  I emailed it to the address you provided, along with a synopsis.  Please let me know if you do not receive it.  Here is the link again.  Thank you for your interest!

I also have two other children's picture books, one about nature, and the other about how to deal with scary things at night.  They are much shorter than the Christmas Sock and would be easier to turn into an animated short.  I am happy to send a synopsis and link for each.

Alex, I am very happy to mail you a copy.  Please send your address.  I don't have a digital copy or link although I need to do that since that seems the typical mode of sharing books, ideas, videos, etc. If that's what you need, please let me know. Sorry for the late reply!
