Pitches

And Pending Proposals


Pending Group Projects, Proposals, and Activities
Here's a place to pitch some ideas for fun events, group projects, or things you'd like to see happen in the department. We'll try to keep the status of proposals updated based on interest and/or active participants. If a pitch develops enough interest it will be moved to the official Group Projects section.







Tips
For people pitching a project idea, it is recommended to first create a solid script, concept sketches, prototype models, or a presentation to really sell your idea to other students. Also, make sure your proposal is realistically achievable and manageable. Ambitious long-term projects are the hardest to make work. The bulletin boards in the labs and in the lobby can also be used to organize projects. Don't forget to include contact information.

Gather feedback on your idea and try to get as many supporters as possible before attempting a kickstarter or pitch to a big studio. Budget proposals also play a big role in pitches, so keep figures reasonable.

Don't be too disappointed if a pitch doesn't work out. It happens. Try again or adjust your plans so they are more achievable. Learning how to pitch ideas effectively will be an asset in the professional world.

Good luck!



Post-Mortems
Sadly, not every project turns out to be a success. Post-mortems are a way for people to share what went wrong with a project so others can avoid making the same mistakes and hopefully be more successful in their own endeavors.
