ten years ago this cost thousands of dollars and a full studio.
i'm talking real cameras, lighting rigs, a crew of five, months of post-production, a budget that gatekept entire careers. now? one person. one phone. one afternoon. and the output competes with what hollywood was charging six figures for in 2015.
the takeaway: the studio didn't get cheaper. it dissolved. the gatekeepers are gone. the only thing standing between you and a finished piece is whether you actually hit record.
