I'm basically doing that, actually. Fohr has ridiculous technology, and I'm parting it out (feels like chopping a car) as you describe.
I can do Fohr without the capital, it'll just takes me longer as hardware gets cheaper and my own net worth goes up.
18 month ago, it would have cost over $100 million to operate Fohr, so time is on my side.
- tlb 15y agoPixar did it for 16 years (1979-1995) before they released a movie.
- _delirium 15y ago1986-1995 is a bit closer, I think; from 1979-1986 they were in effect an R&D division of Lucasfilm, and it wasn't their job to even think about making films. They were supposed to develop new tech and do special-effects in films, which they did do for quite a few prominent films.

- erichocean 15y agoThanks, I've updated AngelLest with the latest news: > Pre-production continues on the first computer-photographed film, Carpathia, and production begins on June 1, 2012 in Los Angeles. At the time, we were very close to going through with a deal. (Obviously, that fell through.)
