Hi Gary,
No I haven't seen Reboot. As GY mentioned it has 3DS elements in it. Its not
really something I'm hot to pursue. I do think its an interesting application
but more a novelty than anything else. I think this technology is actually
better suited to game development. I have heard of other similiar productions
in the works, and different formats, so apparently there are other people
willing to explore the possibilities. My experience with Virtual sets is not
something I would want to repeat, but it was also several (maybe 4 years) ago.
I have some reservations regarding the economics of producing a show like that
but with a good concept it might be viable provided that other ancillary
production costs are either eliminated or dramatically reduced. As you pointed
out, from your daughters comment that "it isn't a very good show", they've
probably sacrificed everything for the animation, including script writers. <g>
Which I guess is o.k. except that without content, the show isn't going to have
any kind of shelf life, which means syndication will be limited etc etc. In
other words it'll get dated fast.
John
