Remember the reduction of shows and movies were going to happen anyway, since studios were spending like drunken sailors on projects they mismanaged long before these strikes.
People blaming this on new WGA or SAG rates should be given the side-eye. Many will use this as an excuse, just like the companies that raised prices during the pandemic because they could, not needed to.
@brianvastag Yes, or shows like Baz Luhrmann's "The Get Down", which spent 120 Million of their 90 Million dollar budget to deliver 11 episodes of the expected 13.
We all remember that show right? Classic work of all time? No? No recollection? Nearly crushed a few companies trying to address notes on it?
Putting my creative energy into my own art projects is where the real joy happens, but doing purely technical work on other people’s projects is very, very enjoyable to me. I get a balance I never had before. ;-)
@virtualbri I have a friend who does sound design, in the past for film and TV, now mostly for video games, and he has said stuff like, "You would enjoy these shows less if you knew the pain involved in making them."
@virtualbri The fantasy was based on people paying the same for a streaming service as they do for cable services -- for EACH individual streamer. Totally nuts.
