Below is a a premise by Dani Michaeli for a recent SpongeBob episode. With one doodle I directly on the page, did during the writer's meeting,while we were discussing the premise, a post it drawing, that I think is from the same meeting.
Interesting way of going about with a typical SpongeBob ep. I'm assuming it's similar to what John K. had you do on Ren and Stimpy. What would you say would be your all-time favorite episode of SpongeBob to come out of this process? Just wondering.
It is the same other than, at Spumco this would have been the length of the outline rather that the premise. Outlines on SpongeBob typically run about a two pages. As far as favorite episodes, of mine Arrgh would have been my favorite. Of others, I really liked doodle Bob, and Reef Blowers, also the one where SB is playing with a slip of paper. I prefer the episodes that have the characters being just as silly as can be.
Well first you have to be funny. Then you need to have samples of your work. Then once you get hired, you need to consistently come up with funny idea, after funny idea ,week after week.
Thoughts rambling on as the meeting rolls on.

Um... how does someone go about getting a job writing stories like this?

ReplyDeleteI really like your style! I use to watch Spongebob all the time:P
ReplyDeleteThat IS a dream job.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I think I may have missed my calling.
Yes, that one with Sponge and the slip of paper, one of my favorites.
You left out the bit about selling your soul.
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite part.
JW it's really more of a Lend Lease, than a sale.
