Shitheads will be fashioned as an
adult targeted animated sitcom series.
Similar shows would be south park, the simpsons, family guy, bojack horseman, & beavis and butthead
the goal For the first season
is to start with 8 episodes
The first season of the show will establish the characters and the world to the audience, but also the production and animation and writing team. Ideally, I would like to start with an 8-Episode first season, which would then be expanded to 12-Episodes in subsequent seasons.
With standard network animated shows budgeting around $1.2- $1.5 Million per episode to produce, that will likely be around our eventual target budget. For Season 1, we could potentially start off at around $500,000 per episode by saving some costs using motion capture and AI to help with the animation.
The ultimate goal with the animation team is also to keep them entirely in the United States and avoid out sourcing the labor to Asian countries. We can build a team in the USA that can animate using the help of some new AI tools available to get better results for the roughly the same costs as the Korean-drawn television shows like Simpsons and Family Guy.
