Software maker Toon Boom Animation has announced a new service called the Pilot Production Program that provides professional animators looking to create pilots with access to the company’s software and technical support.

The program gives professional animators free access to Toon Boom Storyboard Pro and Harmony stand-alone software licenses for up to three months and access to an in-house expert dedicated to their animation project.

The program is designed to help animators produce the most professional looking web, TV or film pilot to pitch to investors, partners and broadcasters.

"We are honored to support the creation of pilots for TV, film or the web that will become excellent programming for the small and big screens," says Joan Vogelesang, president and CEO of Toon Boom.

Detailed information about the Toon Boom Pilot Production Program can be found online at toonboom.com/pilot-production-program.

  Were the rest of the industry this theoretically altruistic things would not be nearly so imbalanced. Of course Toon Boom needs to get something out of their goodwill gesture besides favorable press.

  Good on Toon Boom.
  
  This little project will get people into using the toon boom system. However will it be enough to keep them after the 3 months?
  
  I\'m skeptical.
  
  Lower the price tag so that animators can afford it by giving them a special discount if they sign up. Something competitive with flash. That\'s the only way it\'ll get considered.
