Why do ~2 hour movies take 2-3 years to make, while an 6+ hour TV season can be made in 1 year?
In: 1947
My experience is that tv series are extremely sparse on content, there’s a ton of “blah blah” filler moments. Whereas a feature film only has a couple hours to convey a ton of story.
The latest Tolkien series on Amazon is a good example… I felt like I watched 8 hours of video to get 30 minutes of story, the rest was all filler. The acting, well, it was tv-grade acting, which implies to me that they didn’t spend days getting any one scene perfect. It is far easier to produce content like that, as opposed to a film where you are constantly jumping scenes and pushing the narrative forward. And every scene has to be perfect.
