But that's inherently a problem with feature film (and especially animation stuff) - even the studios like FOX and Disney only get the profit once DVDs and merchandise have been selling - before then, they've given out millions to finance the production.
DD were pretty stupid trying to do the feature animation thing, and changing their company name a few times has caused them even more financial trouble in terms of having to buy software multiple times for site licenses.
- mindslight 14y agoWhat's inherently a problem, bad management? :P There's always uncertainty that any subcontractor might be just saying they're making progress, only to blow up at the end. But this shouldn't be happening internal to the company. Hadn't heard that about the software licenses! I thought the naming shenanigans were only the holding company, are you sure that wasn't just from adding licenses for Florida?
- berkut 14y agoFair point, yeah it's internal with them, I hadn't thought of that. Put it this way - they've bought Nuke three times, and they made it originally!
