- A writer pitches his "big Hollywood script."
- In this animated short, a crudely-drawn stick figure marches confidently onscreen and engages us in a pitch as a vividly-drawn idea for a feature-length motion picture. As the pitch progresses, the stick man becomes increasingly frantic, desperate, and sweat-soaked --just like you did in YOUR last pitch meeting!-- and the idea he spills out becomes increasingly ridiculous. During the course of the pitch, images from his idea appear as crisply-drawn animated images -- in contrast to the character's wobbly scribble of crayon-drawn animation-- floating in the void above his head, illustrating that even a character with nothing to him can have big ideas for movies. He caps his pitch with a note on just how cheaply his film can be made. The cartoon then cuts to an excerpt of the completed feature, which has been rendered in hysterically ultra-low-budget live action. It looks like the character spent even less than he asked for, and it's every bit as amusingly bad as it sounded in his pitch.
