Hi! I was wondering about the story of how you pitched your show idea to frederator. Did you make a mock up pilot episode of some sort?

i saw they opened up pitches for go cartoons and i was 17 so i couldnt do it yet! so i waited and sent in the pitch release form the day i turned 18. i made a very rough storyboard of the short and a map of the island and practiced pitching it to friends and classes and then went into the frederator burbank office and pitched it to eric and kelsey. and then they liked it and were like Ok lets do it and then i made an animatic and showed it to fred and sony and then they greenlit it. i graduated high school around the time it was greenlit. it was really weird 

It was really weird. But one of our favorite pitches ever.
