Day 105 of production studio guidebook

4_14_24

Hello everyone!

Today, was a pretty good day for studio guidebook!

Got a lot done, completely redid the structure of the job expectation section, re worked definitions, aaaaand started the producer job expectations section! Decided to flip the order so producer is now first, that way its easier to understand the order of who does what first in production, (which honestly could be why I was having so much trouble since I was trying to do it backwards).

Any hoo! Gonna try to do more tomorrow now that I have written notes.

G'nite everyone! ttyt! <3

(weather update: Hey, is anyone out there also trying to start a production/animation studio? Just curious. Leave me a comment if you are I am always always always down to talk shop it is my favorite thing, please do not be shy!)

That there are 3 Pinocchio movies coming out this year bugs me so much

For one, I understand that one of them is actually a Russian movie that is just getting an English dub this year, but I believe with 2 other Pinocchio movies coming out this year already the studio should have been able to tell that this isn't a good time to release this, and either worked to get it out before last year ended (or even within the first week or so of the year) or decided to delay it and put it out when there weren't already others coming out

For another, Netflix is continuing to be idiotic. Like they do have an interesting director and cast, but the reality is that Disney is essentially a cult, more people are going to watch the Disney version, full-stop, if only because Disney made it. Additionally, that leaves Netflix open to even more issues and criticism when they just continue to plummet. There will be comparisons made between the 2, especially with them both coming out this year, and unless the Netflix one is flawlessly amazing, they are likely going to encounter a number of people who will review it without watching to give it worse reviews than the Disney one and people will watch it, enjoy it, and still review it poorly because they are obsessed with Disney and firmly believe that they make the best content and listen to no other arguments

Netflix also has continued to go on about lost profit and such (They didn't lose shit, they just didn't get as much as they were expecting, companies completely ignore the difference between the 2 and it is infuriating -_-, but I digress), in part because of a lack of subscribers, yet they are likely paying a lot for this movie (given the director and cast (though the Disney one also has heavy hitters)), and aren't seeming to think about the fact that this isn't actual going to draw people in. Disney is cheaper than Netflix (I'm unsure of the current base price on Netflix but to give a good idea my parents pay $20/month for Netflix to give us 4 screens to use at once, it is my understanding that Disney has a bundle to get Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN, for $20/month), if they both come out with Pinocchio movies at around the same time, there is no incentive for people not already paying for Netflix to pay to see this Pinocchio over the other when they can pay much less to have access to the Disney one instead unless they happen to be obsessed with someone involved in creating it. It isn't logical for Netflix to have heard Disney is releasing a Pinocchio this year and for them to think, "Yeah we should release ours this year too"

Now, I do not know who announced their movie when or who started filming first or whatever, but realistically, given the supposed state of Netflix's finances and their terrible way of managing it (not only in the past but their current plans in place to "help" only seems to be hurting them), they should have heard Disney was making a Pinocchio and releasing it this year and thought, "Okay, so that means we either have to release it before x time or after x time to ensure we get the best out of releasing this movie" as people should when they own a business (honestly, it amazes me studios aren't better about this, like yes you can run into issues if you sit on something too long or whatever, but realistically, if something happens that means the market for a movie won't be as good as it should be, you should be able to put it on a brief hold or whatever to release it at a better time, but because of their desire to immediately make back money spent (or at least start making money back) and move on, there are probably a number of movies that didn't make as much as they potentially could have if they had just waited a bit to release it (also there are people whose pay is based on the amount the movie earns, who lost out on potentially getting more money since companies don't sit on fully finished movies if they could make more money if released at a better time))

Finally, this is an easily solvable issue if studios were not so obsessed with money and one upping each other. Realistically, there should be an online system connecting all of the production studios that everyone in the industry can use and see. In it, they should be listing things like projects currently being worked on, planned projects, etc. And their planned release schedule, this would allow a company to hop on there and easily determine one of the following options, "Oh, so X studio is already making Y movie, which is very similar to your pitch of Z, so we are going to pass for now, perhaps consider some changes to make your premise stand out more," "Oh, so X studio is making Y movie and it is set to release at M date, we will make your movie, Z, but will not release it until N time has passed to ensure you get the best release possible" "Oh, we here at studio A have been working on movie Z for several months, but now studio X is making Y movie and plans to release it at about the same time we were planning on releasing movie Z, that isn't allowed, we will file a claim about it" etc.

This would vastly help a number of people, but it isn't in place in part because the studios are terrified that information will get out about their project and either lessen the revenue it brings in or that another studio will "Steal" their ideas, but if they used this system, idea theft would be immediately obvious and would be easier to go after a studio for it. The other revenue issue is actually only an issue if your entire project is ruined by spoilers about it, and if knowing everything about a project spoils the project for anyone viewing it, it probably shouldn't be made in the first place because that means people will watch it a maximum of 1 time and then never again, whereas if they can watch it again and again despite knowing what happens then obviously the "spoilers" don't matter. This also has an additional piece though that the studios likely don't like, which is that if they list a project they are working on, and another studio likes it enough, they could offer the production more money to do it through their studio instead, and since studios know this and don't want to have to pay more, they don't want that, even though it would be beneficial to most everyone else involved in the project

This would force diversity into the industry, grant protections to studios, and give the best options available to project creators (who often deserve way more than they get) and should be in place, but because the people in charge of all this are paranoid assholes who want to hoard as much money for themselves as possible, it isn't in place

week 1 tech

First tech class. Some notes.

Induction to the production studio space - the instructor had a background in film making, I realized some disconnection in our assigning of value in art. Is video art a category void of the limitations seemingly put on movie-making regarding things being "nice" looking? Is making things look shit on purpose bad because I am young and it comes across as just an inadequacy rather than a choice?

illustrated is a snap shot of a friend standing under flat top lighting, as the instructor explains how that is bad and unflattering. I think she looks foreboding and wonderful.

In addition, a useful website shared to me by a friend of a copyright free film archive

Did some examples and exercises in lighting with three key focuses: key light, back light, and fill light.

a silhouette achieved by having 2 backlights and slight diffused key light. What lovely boots! This effect feels to me to create a figure of iconographic visual language, focusing on the shape of the figure.

one back light lighting up the wall, one back light to the side, key light on the left. Perhaps differing colour could be used to highlight something about the character.

one back light right behind the figure, creating a halo. A key light positioned in a spot deemed flattering.

set up and lights used in the production studio.

I am at odds with sharing personal reflections in these blogs, nervous about what it implies or changes about the quality of my documentation. I hope it's not much.
