Animation company looking for story ideas

SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah animation company is hoping to hit it big in the movie business. But, it needs a little help, and you might be the person to give it.
Too Many Legs Animation is known for making corporate animations and commercials. It has worked with companies like Fusion I/O, Neways International, and it's won a Silver Addy Award for its animation for the Orange County Transit Authority.
While the company will continue to make these kinds of commercial animations, it's been given a chance to step into a bigger arena. Co-Founder Jonathan Hallett says they've reached a deal with eCinema Networks to make five feature length films.
"In Hollywood terms, they're very, very small budgets. They're $1 million to $2 million budgets," he said.
But, these projects are very big to TML. Hallett says they'll need to hire dozens of new people to animate, produce and complete these movies.
However, the company is looking for story ideas, and that's where you come in. It's accepting ideas from the public.
"If that person's story is selected then they'll get paid for it and they'll be in the credits, of course, as well," Hallett said. "They might not be the one that writes the entire story. We may just take their idea and flush it out into a full story."
Just in case you're thinking, "Hey, I've got a great idea for a slasher/horror movie that would be great," Co-Founder Ian Johnston says that's really not what they're looking for. Think more family friendly for a younger audience.
To Submit Ideas
People can email their ideas to story@tmlanimation.com. The story pitches shouldn't be long, just a few sentences that really get to the heart of the idea.
"We are looking for content that is ethically wholesome," Johnston said. "It has a good boundary and good morals. [It should be] emotionally charged so that by the time you're done experiencing it, you feel like you've either learned something, gained something or have a different perspective on something."
Plus, Johnston says they're looking for completely original ideas not necessarily based on the current trends.
"If we can develop those ideas in advance, then there's a chance that when that trend comes along the movie will be done and ready to get out there," he said.
