Troy, I have the talent agreement for the cast and working on the sizzle reel for this reality show with the treatment submitted to the writers guild of america. We just need expertise of someone like yourself to jump on board.
I’m trying to find one of these guys for a little buddy he doesn’t know it but…he’s had bad health issues his body never grew he’s a yung adult male but more like a handsome little kid LOL with a with a beard sometimes a fun attitude he’s got a cute little puppy that’s growing. I’m trying to find somebody in the state of Georgia.
He doesn’t know I’m feeling around he could use the work (medical stuff) he could use a break (life is expensive) he had a health problem at a really young age he wasn’t supposed to make it. And he is sharp he doesn’t even use a wheelchair he’d need a small one but probably expensive for him. he’s got a small taxidermy business. If you met him, he would not let you know how hard life is probably been and he’s a little worker as much as he can he’s pretty sharp too.
If any directors that do this in the Georgia area find me real quick on my channel but I’m gonna check you out so if you have any bad intentions, I’m gonna know. He’s got a real independent mind he just got stuck in that body and he’s really lovable he’s really fun to know. You’d never know how frustrated he’s probably been, he’s been a pretty good little actor probably most of his life. He’s a good lookin guy too probably a young lady out there maybe if he could catch a little break see if it goes somewhere type thing.
Thanks guys ❤
LOL this one’s not inappropriate but this little guy’s got courage, big courage he doesn’t know about any of this yet. But he’s got big courage.
This is exactly what Mark Burnett did for 'The Apprentice'. Burnett describes how he had to make a pitch to Donald Trump.
How do you know whether your concept is a turkey - i.e that had previously been shopped around and never flew? Is there any resources you can recommend to assess your concept against to see whether the turkey lives or gets served up at thanks giving?
It's called adding a shit ton of value by meeting the needs of people who are watching and doing it better than anybody else does, can, or will in the future. People don't buy products or services they buy emotions identities and experiences.
Ray has answered this well. There's no magic combo of anything that guarantees a sale, and it's largely about having the right show at the right time.
I have an idea...i have no way to pitch it to anyone. How do i do this? Please help me? I have a great one. Damit I'm tired of not knowing anyone important, or, having resources. I've had an idea taken from me through the United States Patent office, being an entire new brake system. Couldn't come up with the rest of the patent pending fee. After 2 years, it's theirs if you can't do it. This show is just as big if not bigger. I cut grass for a living. I have a great idea that would land billions for whomever jumped on it.
Get a Provisional patent. Lasts a year and is really cheap.(used to be $80) You use it to 'secure' your idea for a year while you look for a buyer.
Nate Wood have you got any progress
How's it going? Did you pitch it? It's been 5 years.
I have an idea for a couple tv shows. Actually for sportsCan someone help me just get it out that needs to be televised for everyone to enjoy
How would I protect an idea and prevent the "buffers" between the decision makers from taking me out of the loop with no compensation?
I have an idea to rival "Shark Tank" with no skills as a producer or any other skills pertaining to the TV industry.
I'm looking for obtaining royalties based on my idea and stepping out of the way.
Not gonna happen. Ideas are a dime a dozen... as even the Sharks know. You gotta do the work - that's where the value is.
@@Dayvit78 I was just saying this is like stealing Fred's idea. How is it coming along? I may be looking for a partner. The man said he partners with companies. Think about that.
@@Antigone-yp6ht The poimnt I was making was that forming an exclusive agreement with any connected talent would prevent the prodco or network from saying, "We love you, (talent), can we hire you and ditch Fred for a similar idea before Fred gets this set up elsewhere?"
Tell me where I can find the producers who are interested in the new format of TV games shows.
Nora lyne any luck? I’m on the same boat here!
Look at the production companies and networks that are making and showing content in the same vein as what you're wanting to do. When making your approach, make it clear that you approached them for that reason.
Great info! I'm the CEO of an estate sale company; writer, and author of the book, "Stop Throwing Cash in the Trash" and would like to pitch a TV pilot to the right people. In a few weeks, I'll be meeting some important media sources in NYC; although, I had to pay to attend the media summit. Its a start, though.
patricia Penke how did it go ??
@@christianramos515A lot of Interest, but I don't live in NYC for convenience to be on shows. I have a great idea, but you have to know someone in the business to get anywhere. I'd love to talk with Troy:-)
@@turntrash2cash979 You don't need to live in NYC or LA unless your show is about those cities. If you really have a great idea, just start shooting it yourself and posting to RUclips. And you don't need anything fancy to get it done. If you have a modern phone, you can shoot it with that. Just make sure you get great clear sound from your talent. Good luck.
@@MillionDollarFlipper Thank you for responding. I'm still trying to work it out and also figure out how to start my own podcast. Any suggestions?
Can I be apart of this
This was great information until the end. Did he just say the company kicked out Fred? Did they just steal Fred's idea? I'm not getting it.
To clarify, if Fred has a lock on the talent, the company can't go to the talent and say, "We know Fred brought you in, but we'd like to take the idea and develop it with you ourselves directly, cutting him out of the deal." Better?
How do I go about pitching a show and having all exclusive rights to it? I have some great ideas,thank you.
Dawn Palmer did you copyright them? Or register them at Writers Guild of America
Better late than never...
You're unlikely to retain much as a first-time creator.
Check out his blog: realitytvtroy.wordpress.com/ A gold mine for anyone that wants to get into reality TV. Yes, he is a "little" negative in this video, but he's been there, folks. He's speaking from experience. If you read his book (see this video's "About" section), he actually tells you how to get into reality TV. It isn't at the top but it is a way to get in and then you can work up from there.
I wonder how this show would hold up against our show in Detroit.

Selling A Reality TV Show Idea by Troy DeVolld by @filmcourage
Hi , I have an idea about a reality show . 1st and biggest reality show of the world. Where I can sell it ?
No idea. Find a network, streamer or cabler that it's right for and start looking into production companies that make stuff for them. Be sure you don't talk about it as being the biggest r best reality show ever... they and their marketing team will be the judge of that, and it makes you sound arrogant and uninformed. Best of luck!
I have one and im not joking. Send me your info if interested.
Good stuff
Just a collective who have made it but not a tutorial on what makes a good sizzle
Usually, I think keeping a sizzle very short is advisable, and, as with super teases, I like to group the action into emotionally illustrative sections. Big action, big character interaction, quieter conflict, a moment that sums up the tone of the series that isn't just noise.
There are loads of sizzle reel examples on RUclips. Keep in mind, they're not essential in the way they once were.
How do you prevent the runaround? That's the most interesting part..that you didn't answer
I don't think there really is a way to avoid it. I'm often stunned by how long something can just sit, even after an enthusiastic response from a production company or network. I'm nineteen years into this and the only solution I can offer is to keep checking in in a way that doesn't sound like badgering.
@@troydevolld9793 19 years??? That sucks. You never know what will happen, The best thing is to at least get an option for $10k for wasting your time.
You can't. Firewalls exist to keep overeager newbies at bay. As for the runaround, the business is about value. Show up with that and don't have the attitude of "you guys aren't gonna steal this, are you?"
Well done Troy!
THANK YOU! !
I was one of the leads for Big Easy Brides on the We Network as Gino the head of Security at the Wedding Chapel back in 2011. I'm extremely interested in working on another TV Reality Show in which I'll be sharing my evolution as I'm transitioning as a transgender woman and trying to fullfil an acting career with possibilities of exploiting my singing talents, can you help me? Thanks
Please, stay as a man. You are a man. Embrace being a man. Transgenderism is not real. You will always have male reproduction physiology.
great info 💔🖤🥳🥳🥳
