In my latest blog post, I've explored why movies often take years to make, while TV shows can be produced in just weeks. A significant part of this is the difference in scale and complexity between the two. Movies usually have larger budgets, more intricate storylines, and require more time for pre-production, shooting, and post-production. On the other hand, TV shows are typically produced in a more streamlined manner, with shorter scripts and less elaborate set pieces, allowing for a quicker turnaround. Still, both forms of entertainment have their unique challenges and rewards in the creation process.
