Message: [QUOTE="jul, post: 175416, member: 210"] Has anyone ever paid attention to the length of Akira's end credits ? It was at a time when most of anything graphics was done "by hand" coupled with some video effects of course but no 3D whatsoever Look at it [MEDIA=youtube]bEjKstTXrfk[/MEDIA] it's 4 minutes of names, scrolling... And it includes entire studios, plural, meaning that behind each studio, you have dozens of people at least It's hard to even begin to fully realize what that implies, in terms of organization, of workforce, in terms of payroll, of numbers... Number of hours, of trial and errors, of work, hard work. And what if it had been a dead end ? What if it hadn't been profitable, like pure loss, not because the product was bad but because not enough people would have bought/rented a copy, a cinema ticket, etc... ? If the movie had been massively pirated on day one and wouldn't have sold at least as much as it had cost, imagine the consequences for that industry, for all those people. That job, that line of work, would have ceased to exist, nobody would have been able to make a living around it, hence no future production It has to be profitable, otherwise it dies, it's not a charity nor just a hobby. You can't live from your work you have to give up that's all, that's the hard cold truth. [/QUOTE]
