Writing for Television Animation

UCLA Writers' Program instructor Brooks Wachtel, who, along with Nina Bargiel and Cherry Chava, was featured in the May/June issue of Script magazine, will be teaching Writing for Television Animation at UCLA Extension, starting October 9th.

This course covers the entire animated TV script writing process, including how to find the "voice and style" of a particular show, pitch stories, create solid outlines, write the first draft, deal with notes and changes, and finally, write and polish an 11-minute animation script. In addition, guest speakers discuss the business side of animation: how to break in, what agents do and don't do, the process of getting your script to the screen, and how to have a satisfying career in a field where your imagination is free.
