Animation Development Company
Overview
Animation Development Company is in the business of developing and licensing animation projects. It has the exclusive rights to market products and services based on a number of unique entertainment programs, to major media markets. ADC finances animation pilots and pitches the projects to networks for the purpose of licensing potential television series. These 3-7 minute animated cartoon segments are produced and developed by industry experts in conjunction with or under contract to ADC. For its financial involvement, ADC will always retain a majority stake in revenue and equity ownership in the pilot. In other words, ADC will own a controlling interest in the rights to the concepts and characters on which the series will be based. That is where the major streams of revenue will ultimately come from. To sum up, ADC is in the business of investing in great concepts and developing animation concepts to a level of quality and professional presentation so that they are marketable to studios and networks. It then reaps the rewards that come from a successful television series. There is a clear and definite need for a company like this to bridge the gap between the creative and production communities, a company that can help both sides make more money. That is our role. Animation Development Company was designed to provide the basic capital required to develop projects of merit and real market potential, so that they have a real chance to be picked up by the studios or networks and become successful. That success has the capability to make those who invested in the project very substantial returns. That can mean millions in profits. Here are the key steps ADC goes through in developing its animated projects: First, unlike most companies, we don’t just look at what was “hot” last year or simply try to sell what we have on hand. Instead, we look for projects that the studios want for next season. Second, we secure signed contracts or options on properties that we think have a chance to be successful. Options give ADC control for a minimum of two years. Once options are exercised, ADC has full control and invests in those projects that we believe the studios want. Third, we provide the capital necessary to properly develop the project into a marketable property. We make use of experienced talent in the entertainment business, in Hollywood and elsewhere. In our studio facilities, we have the capability of producing a professional-level presentation package, making the project as salable as possible. Fourth, and finally, our experienced producers make the project as a fully-developed package available to studio and network executives whose job it is to find the next big hit for their company. When they see that we have what they need, they license it. That is when the money begins to flow.
