Let's talk about series

[Mithridates the Great]

RED has already nearly put Panavision and Kodak out of business, that's saying something.

One show that I'd like to mention is: Shameless. Great show. Never saw the BBC but loving the American version.

There are many interesting series...so many,there is something that makes you want to see the next episode ...if you like in general the plot of course (talking in general not something specific )

Interesting. I never figured it was the film itself that cost that much. Still, all the sets and stuff can be a pain.

Used to be about $800 per 1000' for film what that translates to is about 10 minutes, but in reality it's generally 8 to 9 minutes of film per camera. If you have multiple cameras with multiple takes, you could go through thousands of feet a day. I did one day on this one film where we shot 15,000 feet in about 4 hours using a high speed camera. That's about $12,000 for one shot not including gear rental and crew costs.

The access of this technology also allows for more people to get into the pool and the access of web distribution opens it up for more people to get exposure which is a good and bad thing. So, we could add a discussion on webseries here as well.

I like 'Booth at the End' Think that's web only. About a guy who sits in this coffee shop trading peoples wishes for deeds they must do to get them.

Mobile Suit Gundam

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

(1980s story lines, including a few 90s/00s shorts, most recent being the MSG Unicorn short series) some of these are actually available on youtube in the United States. Including the original 1979 TV series. Episode 01 Mobile Suit Gundam, 1979. Episode 01 Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, sequal to the first one, 1985. They might look a tad old but for their day they were revolutionary. Was the first animated TV genre born to really express war to a young audience in a truthful way with a grey world, of course they also tried to sell toys with their robots and such, it's more grey than most live action war films at times actually.

If any of that looks interesting, this is what those two TV series has evolved into 30 odd years later. Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn or UC based 16 years after the original 1979 TV series story wise, 4 years after the 1988 Char's Counter Attack Motion Picture.
