So many other reasons could be added to this article. maybe the author should've reached out to more industry people to get some thoughts.. 1. Shows only make 8-10 episodes now, prior to the Streaming boom, we used to do 24 episodes. thats 2-3 months of work in post, vs 8-10 months of work. Thats a lot of people, looking for work, more often. 2. The money spent to develop those 8-10 episode. i cant be the only one who sees that the amount of money spent developing these shows, is astronomical, and for them to only run 8 episodes and be done. Seems a huge waste of talent and money. script writers, set designers, actors, camera DPs, set builders, painters, gaffers, etc etc.. all that talent and money.. and all "we" get in return is 8 episodes.. again, a lot of people, out of work, more often, looking for work.. 3. Corporate takeovers/mergers. too many Post shops disappear from the Takeover by some Co. wanting to brag about owning a shop in Hollywood.. but not having any clue what that really means or requires. in 2000, there were post houses on just about every corner in Burbank and Hollywood. Now, we have 2 majors, and a handful of smaller shops. We had people who knew how to work with the artists, and talk to the ceo's. Now we literally have accountants in charge, cutting positions, they deem redundant. Not having any real idea what those people actually do, because they don't see anything but the numbers. 4. Reality TV. took a real downward spin lately. maybe because they don't get the same tax breaks as Film and A list TV shows do.. which, obviously, they're not filing for filming permits, as the style is run and gun. so they don't have any incentive to stay in Hollywood and pay the expense.. 5. California's extra high taxes. The gas tax. really? the rest of the country is complaining about high gas prices & politicians causing it, and yet, in a state struggling, Ca. decides to continue the Summer Formula Gas Tax, and of course, the Winter Gas Tax. At least a dollar more here, than other parts of the country. Doesn't a lot of the gas get offload in California Ports? I sure see a bunch of derricks on land and off shore.. 10 gallons of mid grade gas cost me close to $50, If i find the Cheap station. 6. Rates. i went from 2004-2019 charging the same rate. Although, I increased what i knew, and offered, by about 3 or 4 more job skills. This relates to #3 where we are expected to do more and more in a position, than ever before, or risk losing your job, or not getting a job at all. 7. The cost of entry. What system used to cost 1 million bucks, now is a free download. Operators, that used to require yrs to master a system, and be brought up through the system as apprentice, and assistants, now are experienced Youtube editors or Iphone camera operators. Having no idea about the How's and Why's of film and TV production. just my 2cents.. from inside the whirlwind.

Did you know? The first public places to use air-conditioning were movie theaters! In 1925, Willis Carrier installed a "refrigerating plant" in the Rivoli Theater in Times Square, ushering in an era of air conditioned summer entertainment. In the early days of movies, the promise of “air-conditioned comfort” helped many 1920s theater owners improve summertime box office receipts. Prior to air conditioning, however, crowds typically shunned hot theaters for cooler pleasures. Theaters used the cool comfort as a way to attract audiences during hot summers, and it totally worked! Ticket sales soared, making summer the perfect time for big-budget films. This is how the term "summer blockbuster" was born!   Want to keep your business just as cool this summer? Century Commercial Service offers a wide range of mechanical services to keep your commercial properties comfortable all season long. Give us a call today! #CenturyCommercialService #CCS #MechanicalService #CustomerService #PrepareForSummerComfort #CommercialHVAC 

I noticed the following John Lewis advert on TV last night and it looks like they are looking to rejuvenate the 'Never knowingly undersold' strapline/brand positioning ahead of its 100th anniversary next year. I thought they had retired the concept a couple of years ago, so this is an interesting move but one that will give them something to really leverage in the super-competitive retail sector.
