Sounds like that's more of a personal problem than one about this sort of video generation in general.

> Also, small teams is not a single person

Yes, which is why I likened this to what was in my original comment: "just like people make video games all by themselves or with a small group of people"

You're reading that out of context. I intentionally separated that comment. The original post I replied discussed all of the work being done by a single person. That what this is about. You introduced a small team. A small team is not one person. A small team still has the potential of having discussion on edits, creative, etc vs just the ideas of one person.


You replied to my original post, did you not [0]? The post where I, as stated above, also included the words, "all by themselves or with a small group of people," no? The post where I explicitly did not "[discuss] all of the work being done by a single person" that denies work also being done by groups. You were the one who omitted the "with a small group of people" part and started talking only about a "single person hollywood replacement dream."

I think you're just arguing semantics at this point, as to me, it doesn't really matter if it's a single person or a small team making stuff, my greater point was that it will be a lot cheaper than a full-blown Hollywood production and will usher in a new sort of industry like YouTubers today, as ubiquitous phone cameras have, only now these creators will also make photorealistic productions rather than just filming themselves doing things.

theres also movies like Primer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(film)

which shows what can be create with minimal budget and crew. I heard a lot of the cast also doubled as backstage workers during the shoot.
