> So if there are plenty of ideas and not enough money,
big chunk of the budget is spent on marketing.
if you produce something that nobody watch, it's like the sound of the tree falling where nobody can hear it.
if you know how to use AI to cut that cost, I'm all ears.
Also: Al Pacino will want his money if you use his name, even if he is not actually acting in the movie.
Reality is that there's plenty of ideas, true, that would not make any money though.
Studios don't like to work at loss.
Rick and Morty costs 1.5 million dollars per episode and from what we've heard from director Erica Hayes, a single episode takes anywhere between 9 and 12 months to create from ideation to completion
>if you know how to use AI to cut that cost, I'm all ears.
Cutting costs seems to be the main reason AI is being explored. If you go to studio asking for budget to create a movie and predict "10 000 people will watch it", they will laugh in your face. If one person with the help of AI can make the movie and 10 000 people will watch it, its a win for everyone involved.
I dont see youtube channels having enormous budgets for marketing, yet they find sizeable audience and make profit still. Once you lower the cost of production, you dont need huge marketing budgets to secure profits.
> I dont see youtube channels having enormous budgets for marketing,
Because they mainly support one person.
You don't need a big budget to sell lemonade on the street, you can make a salary out of it, doesn't mean you have become a tycoon or have revolutionized the lemonade stand industry.

Have you seen those ADS every 15 seconds?
That's the marketing budget, the whole YouTube ADS revenue is the marketing budget.
> Also: Al Pacino will want his money if you use his name, even if he is not actually acting in the movie.
The creator doesn't need Al Pacino. I'm not following this one. Rick and Morty doesn't need Angelina Jolie
> Reality is that there's plenty of ideas, true, that would not make any money though.
Plenty of websites, 99.999% of them don't make any money. I definitely still think the easier it is to make a website the better.

If that includes marketing and advertising, that's amazingly cheap. Cut the creation time down to a few weeks, throw in a few product placements, post it on your social media/youtube/etc and you have your own movie studio.
