Dude must be shaking in his boots since he knows nothing else. His career would be over once superhero movies go out.

        I chased a Post Super, who lost his coordinator to Production management. I took the role of coordinator & then took the supervisor position when the Post Super moved into a Line Producer position.

        They're taking us for fools.

            I worked in Reality TV & have no fucking clue how some of the crap I worked got taken to series, much less survived for multiple seasons…

            Reality TV is pretty cheap compared to traditional scripted TV, right? I'm guessing it's like buying a scratch-off at the gas station to some of these networks - just giving it a shot with the hope that'll be the next 90 Day Fiance or whatever but no big loss if it isn't.

            Thanks for the context on the earlier comment. I was ignorantly assuming that was a bigger jump than it is!

              Exactly. Networks sign development deals with smaller production companies. The companies will produce a series of mixed pitches including sizzle reels & pilots, which the network will consider for further development.

              The companies will have some discretion as to what projects they sink the initial development money into, front-loading content they think is more likely to impress the network.

              But it’s all, relatively speaking, cheaper to make than scripted.
