Hmmm... I've never heard the term "startup studio" before, and this post didn't really define it before diving into the nuances of it.
(i.e. I feel like I started reading about horsepower and power-to-weight ratio before being told I was reading about a car.)
... Does anyone else know what a "startup studio" is?
- ulisesrmzroche 12y agoLooks like they want to take the concept of a movie studio maybe. There are some similarities, I think, between the two industries, mainly in that they are both really about producing hits, but I dunno, it's also a bit of a stretch. Once you're done with Post-Production, you're pretty much done. Stories don't require much maintenance.
- zrail 12y agoThere's a lot that happens with the artifacts after post production but it's not very glamorous. Initial distribution, licensing, merchandising, negotiating rental and streaming windows (i.e. more distribution), disc releases, special editions, etc etc. Stuff like that for franchises like The Hobbit or the Twilight series can easily last a decade. There was recently an article about how The Shawshank Redemption is still being distributed and is still amassing residuals 20 years down the line[1]. Operations don't stop after opening night.

- ulisesrmzroche 12y agoYeah, but you're talking about Operations, not Production. You don't just keep adding new scenes to a film once it's done, or fix bugs. You make sequel if people really want it that bad.
