I recently pitched an idea for a music video a song by 'Betty Curse' to Eugene, who visited us a little while ago. It was a nervous experience, but certainly one that has taught me a lot about presenting my ideas.
Above all, the experience taught me that you can present an idea however you want, if it isn't any good, people will never be interested. I watched other people presenting ideas in a very innovative way, which was great, but if their ideas didn't work, Eugene wasn't interested.
I also learned that as well as ideas being interesting, your pitch needs to make them easy to understand. If you are trying to explain something to somebody and they just don't get it, they will likely become very bored, very quickly.
In terms of my own pitch, due to a technical fault, I had no images to help me. I think, however, this didn't limit me too much (it may have even helped me) and I think I explained my ideas clearly and concisely. Eugene seemed fairly interested throughout and picked up on several key points. He complimented my delivery and said that my plot was easy to follow. He did raise the issue that it may be difficult to produce the video on budget given the complexity.
