Why do movies take longer to film than series episodes that are the same length in time? (Both the movie and individual episodes are about an hour long)
In: 6
It depends on the movie or tv show. Some movies are shot in just a couple of weeks, the shortest one I’ve heard of is 4 weeks. The Alec Baldwin movie Rust tried to film the whole movie in 3 weeks. Some movies are so complex it can take years to film, Avatar being a good example.
When you talk about TV shows the same length as movies being done quicker I’m assuming you mean things like the Madalorian or other serial shows. These can be done quicker because they have multiple directors, one per episode. They can film parts of multiple episodes at the same time. In Andor certain locations were used in multiple episodes. They can film these all at the same time and then break up the footage for the different episodes.
