Video production is hard

From Market Watch. Some stock analysts tried out video editing...

10:05 EST - Morgan Stanley's analysts decided to do some hands-on research before initiating coverage of GoPro (GPRO). They give the company an equal weight rating and $57 price target since "video production [is] too tedious for persistent and mass-market use. We decided to take on GoPro vision and document our lives while producing this report. While we are quite proud of our end result, we admit (ruefully) that most would find the end result largely unwatchable (or at the very least almost completely uninteresting), but most significantly it took nearly 8 hours of work to create a sub-2-minute video."



Imagine if they had been trying 3D.

And EQUALLY as difficult is when the video editing community thinks they can jump into an animated 3D project. My experience is that many video editors arrogantly assume that their video editing skills grant them the same knowledge of 3D.

 

They soon discover why their craft should not bill out as much :) hee hee hee hee!!!!! In fact, 3D artists have much more experience on average with video editing than video editors do with 3D....PERIOD.

I will take live-action film/video over 3d any day as far as speed of output. There's a reason they can shoot a low-budget feature in 3 to 6 months where it can take that many years to do an animated feature.

It's even worse! When I took TWO to the film festival in Louisiana everything else there was live action. Before each film the directors would talk about them and answer questions.

 

How long did it take them to make their films?

 

"Two weeks to shoot..."

"A week to shoot..."

"A couple weekends to shoot..."

 

And they were good-looking, entertaining productions!

 

The editing stage was usually much longer but still... you just can't crank it out like that in animation.

On the other hand, each of those live action directors had about 10 talented friends to act and crew and do it for free to help get the film made.

 

With animation you don't need the talented friends so much although it would still help.
