What have you seen that was awesome that didn't turn out on film? And for why? What does a pitch look like? Do you show up with a trifold foam-core and say "I think the world is ready for Oarfish!". What are the budgets like? Do they say "ok, oarfish, here is half a mil, we need a minimum of 47 minutes of usable oarfish footage" or which? Does your B-roll stuff end up on stock sites? Do you end up buying off stock sites? Also, you should do a documentary on Saturniids. There doesn't appear to be such a thing, and it would be a sweet topic. Tons of great "The Greatest Scent Tracker In The WORLD!" bullet points, and pretty colors, and unshitty to work with. Slo-Tek fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Feb 18, 2015 |

FURY-161 posted:There's also a recieved wisdom in the business that certain animals simply don't sell - don't bother trying to get a show about birds off the ground, for example. Apparently the audience will capriciously switch channels at the mere hint of feathers and beak. That is fascinating. Is Sir David the only person with enough juice to get a bird show made then? I'd be really interested in hearing more of what everybody knows about the viewing public and market conditions. Do you have any horrible cliche things that professionals loath, but you gotta put in, because it is what the public demands?
