Did a few concept art illustrations and storyboards for a film client’s crowdfunding campaign. Just got another illustration job for a client’s proposal/presentation, something similar. It all comes down to the visuals, something necessary/imperative to have as a part of your campaign or your pitch deck. Once clients/investors have an idea as to what your film project will look like, the better chances of getting your film funded.
A full shot of clubbers on the dance floor. This was for Whiteshell Films. It was a great experience working with them and was happy to find out that they were off to a good start regarding fundraising/crowdfunding their project, once they used my work as part of their campaign. With a script and visuals at hand, you have a good shot of financing/crowdfunding your film. Lots of luck to all the filmmakers in Stage 32 and wish everyone much success.
Congratulations on getting another illustration job, Rich Terdoslavich!
"With a script and visuals at hand, you have a good shot of financing/crowdfunding your film." You're right. I'm more likely to donate to a crowdfunding campaign if it has visuals.
Visuals can help writers, directors, etc. pitch their scripts too. I design posters that help attract industry professionals to my scripts, and I've thought about getting pictures designed for my pitch decks and treatments.

Thanks, Maurice. It seems to be happening a lot to me. Just got a client for an illustration job, similar to presentations and pitch decks. I enjoy working with filmmakers and clients, the creative process. That’s great that you do poster designs on your presentations. Again, if you need pics for your pitch decks and treatments, you can message me. Enjoy your day and talk to you soon
You're welcome, Rich Terdoslavich. Thanks. I'll definitely keep that in mind. Enjoy your day too. Talk soon.
WGA REGISTATION--$25 each., Unlikely anyone is going to steal your work and you can always go for formal copyright registration if you get a nibble for option or a buy. Again, unlikely. You already hold copy right since moment of creatiion. $75 just registers that but WGA gives you same rough time of creation for cheaper. You will hear from naysayers to whom money is no object. Do due diligence and research. Good Luck!
I agree about doing due diligence and research, Jed Power, and you're right that a person already holds copyright at the moment of creation (when a person turns their idea into a tangible form). Registering a project with the U.S. Copyright Office gives the project more protection than a WGA registration though. And it only costs $45 to register a project with the U.S. Copyright Office if you use the Single application (one work by one author).
I agree that it's unlikely anyone is going to steal your work, but I suggest people skip WGA registration and register their projects with the U.S. Copyright Office upfront in case. A U.S. Copyright Office registration is $20 more than a WGA registration, but it's worth it.
