Glasgow Film Festival: Animatic
Animatic, now in its fourth year, is an innovative talent development lab for Scottish-based creative teams and studios, designed to help develop animated films and TV shows.
Partnering with leading animation and screen industry organisations, participants will engage in an intensive programme of workshops to refine their projects. The lab will culminate in a Live Pitch at GFF27's Industry Focus, where participants will present their projects to an expert panel.
For its fourth edition, Animatic will have two strands: Features and Series. Each strand will offer a tailored programme of workshops and consultations, focused on developing the project’s story, building a finance plan and getting it pitch-ready for GFF27.
Following the Live Pitch, the panelists will choose their favourite pitches, with the following awards. These awards will be for the winning project to put towards the project’s further development.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- £6,000 for Best Features Pitch
- £3,000 for Best Series Pitch
Additionally, thanks to support from The Bridge Awards, participants from Animatic will be in the running for an award of £1,750. One participant will be selected who has shown the most commitment to the programme and who will benefit from an award to help further their careers. The winner will be selected by the Glasgow Film Festival team.
The introductory two-day workshops, as well as the pitching weekend and Live Pitch, will be held in person. All other sessions will take place online. To ensure that the lab is accessible, we have budget available to cover childcare and other accessibility needs.
