I tell you, the advent of Hi Def is going to drive the cost of sci-fi as we know it into the stratosphere. The cost of building anything (sets, props, wardrobe, models, CG, everything) to hold up under hi def will kill any potential heavy-hardware sci fi before it even hits prepro.

Unless you start farming out the work to third-world countries that pay their workers .02 cents an hour.

Its amazing how many people think that making film (or video) is easy and cheap. It is... if you aren't worried about little technicalities like professionalism. The reason movies cost so daggit-gone much to make is because of the sheer volume of people it takes to simultaneously work together to pull it off. Professional people. Its not just a matter of pointing a camera at some actors and saying "ACTION".

Dear Jeebus, the amount of cross-traffic coordinated effort crunch!

It adds up.
