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
My uneducated guess is twofold: setup, and systems.
Setting up the set, getting the people on site, explaining the direction etc all have to happen for both, before you can start.
And then! Creating episode 3 uses a lot of the same systems creating episode 1 did. Imagine you wanted to create a gorgeous wood table. You go out and get all the tools you need, you visit the stain shop to pick out your colours, you fuck up a few times on the legs and start over. Eventually you make the table you wanted to make. Now imagine your friend offers to buy one just like it – is the second table going to take you the same amount of time, or less?
