I’m pitching an animation studio again and….?

So I had a pitch with an animation studio awhile back for a pilot I’d written. The pilot was never written to be animated but I pitched it as is.

They passed on it but I was told they’d consider it again provided I “package it with a team.”

In the time since, I’ve fully rewritten the pilot for the animation medium (lighter, funnier, more energized, etc), did concept art, had an original theme song and even a short animation completed.

My plan was to approach the studio again with a new pitch specific to the animated script in hopes they go for it. BUT I think I may need to go further.

I was considering going ahead and hiring voice actors to record the lines of a few scenes, have those scenes animated, pitch to a few directors and tell them “hey, I’ve got an interested studio, I just need a team” and then once I’ve got that (director, voice actors, pitch concepts of the scenes, music, etc) going to them.

Is this a good plan or a waste of time and money?

I do plan on going back to them with different material written specifically to be animated but at the same time I really have a lot of faith in my original idea and don’t want to abandon it.
