How to make effort to get funding?

• Be clear, concise and always assume the person reading it doesn’t understand your subject and medium.
• Think about the visuals,a style frame or character design goes a long way, consider what technique you are using and why. most people don’t know the different type of animation so use reference to back it up.
• Plan your story.what is it about?what is your point and how do you want to make the viewer feel? how will you approach your sound?will there be music , a voice over or sound effects?can using a well-known actor help lift the profile of your film and gain interest and funds?if don’t have finished visuals, then include references, mood boards and links to illustrate the look,tone and feel you want to achieve.Always remember to hyper link if you reference someone by name.
• consider crowdfunding: platform like kick starter.good example: UGLY
