All that work so I can binge watch an entire season in a day...
Here. Have some comments. My pleasure.
It’s all relative. Movies take longer and you watch it all within a little more than an hour
@@dewaynedavis4390 that's the reality, because people will presure the film makers to produce the tv shows and movies like at the speed of light
🤪
these videos are so well made that it's a pleasure to watch. this is rare
definitely agreed!
I wish this video would have been 13 minutes instead of 3!
Wow Vox is growing extremely quickly! Let's hope it won't turn to BuzzFeed 2.0.
Yeah
Ikr!
I hate buzzfeed
Wow! They really have!
+The Wooden Bowl How about Buzzfeed with more depth
ArnoldsK
Preach!
I appreciate TV shows much more after this.
+RecoGFX I would assume they finish the whole season before any episodes are released, and just wait every week or so to release them to the public.
And this was just a 3 minute summary of the work. Imagine entire documentaries on that.
Nice
Now I feel guilty about torrenting shows. That's a lot of work.
Don't. The vast majority of the people who work really hard to put together shows don't get any residuals; Meaning they don't make any more money whether you pay or not.
+Mason Shepherd wow show biz ia hard
+thievesarmy ok
also keep in mind that if you don't legally watch a show, Networks won't know you have watched it and tend to usually go by statistics on whether or not to renew a show for the next season.
Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia no
I secretly don't want too many people subscribe to this channel so only I can be the smart one
+Zeke Buf lol
Ouch. I seek exactly the opposite!
Bro, there's over 2 million subs
Zeke Buf There's a clear difference between being smart and being knowledgeable.
so20ver me to
Do how a Vox video gets made!
yeahh, that would be soooo cool
yeah
genius
Let's not forget the final part in the show, the part where internet trolls disect the pilot looking for every little plot hole to later post it on IMDb and rating it 3/10.
This is absolutely fascinating! I wish it was a 30 minute video. I really love it. I had no idea doing a tv show was that much work
American shows: 1 hour for a season
Korean shows: Hold my Soju
After being an extra on a TV series, I was astonished just how long it takes to film a simple scene.
I’ve been an extra in a music video ^^
I'm aware of this but interesting how Vox broke it down because there are tv shows you think are trash or not worth watching but never think of all the work that's behind the scenes. Good job.👌🏽
I want to create a TV show when I grow up one day
Me too man!
same!!!!!!
@@messishaanika7698 If you truly want to create an animated series, make it happen! Actions speak louder than words! And remember that just fascinizing the animated seties you wanna create, it will never be made until you put your effort into it
@@Kalaxian80animations yeah fasho. and not necessarily just animated series but just television series in general man. i feel a certain tingle about those things
How is it with you man? and how you workin towards it?
same! i'm 12
Do this with Movies :)
as soon as you mentioned 13-episode cable drama, my mind immediately went to The Americans. nice to see it was confirmed with the quick shots of the sample script. best show on television that nobody is watching, right alongside Rectify.
+mnchls You might enjoy Caroline Framke's feature about the making of the show, which accompanies this video: www.vox.com/2016/4/14/11411564/how-tv-gets-made-americans-fx-production
Already bookmarked it! Unfortunately, since I only just started the fourth season, I think the article may have (inadvertently) spoiled something potentially huge for me. SO THANKS VOX. (no actually really thank you your content is always thought provoking and engaging - keep at it and fuck the naysayers!!!)
+mnchls Yes, you're right about Rectify. :)
+mnchls I am very sure that i saw The Americans on rotten tomatoes homepage, so it can't be that unknown.
Me too! People are missing out on that show
New respect for the people working on The Walking Dead and GOT and all those TV shows
This isn't totally accurate, if there's 20 scenes in "the same restaurant" over the course of a season. They'll often do all 20 scenes complete with wardrobe changes, background extras changed etc etc. while they have that location dressed, lit and the whole crew there. Because coming back 19 more times and doing it all over again throughout the season would be ludicrous.
This shows even more appreciation for the actor / director has to nail the tone of a key scene that may happen in 8 episodes time when no other scenes have been done takes a lot of skill. Like if you get what I mean and think this is a pretty big oversight by Vox.
I watched a video where Vera Farmiga said the same thing. 2 scenes that are very close on tv can be 2 completely different locations, so they'll obviously not shoot the one scene, with its different shots, and travel across town to where they film the other scene. The skill to portray the same emotion/tone when you're shooting on different days is magnificent.
They can't go over every little thing.
+drink15 This isn't a little thing.
Vaysm Some things are. Its how a TV show is made, not how its filmed.
They didn't go over pitching pilot which is more inline with how its made than filming on a location.
Vox already mentioned the white schedule. What are you on about, did you watch the video?
The animation... Wow
I honestly constantly check Vox's subscription growth. I support this channel so much
great production value and more importantly so informative.
This is very informative, Vox! Nice job.
I love Vox's videos, stylish, unique, and creative
This is an insane amount of work!
Or you do it South Park Style and do the writing+animations in a couple of days
Can you explain to me how the animation for that show would only take a couple of days? I assumed it would take quite a while like it does to make a cartoon and such (any type of animation really).
+Nate Riggs
Look up facts about South Park, apparently, the creators can make 1 season in a week or something like that
+Cant think of a name right now one episode a week. theres a short doc on it
They make episodes 6 days before they're aired, so that they can be about something that's trending.
This video was so helpful. Thank you!
Informative. Thank you!
This is was really interesting and well done. I see you VOX!
Great videos! One of the last good channels left on youtube
Brilliant video. Thank you.
Thank you that was quick and to the point. Very helpful.
super cool explanation! loved it.
Heey really awesome job Vox thanks for bringing these really great videos! I would just like to suggest maybe add subtitles in there i'll work out even better
I love you Vox!
you guys make really great videos
I’ve been wondering this for a long time!
Fantastic episode
good post..thank u Vox..
Great video guys :)
Love this vid! Tell us moreeee!
I genuinely believe that TV is superior to film because there is so much complexity involved. You need to do so much more in so little time. I enjoy movies, but I've always preferred TV series for many reasons. If any medium at all should carry prestige, it's TV.
When it goes perfect, maybe. There are some Prestige Tv Shows, but a lot of them sacrifice quality for the difficulties of the medium (schedules!) or the too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen effect of all the network and producer input. Things get simplified so they can be quick and dirty. Cinematography especially tends to suffer due to the tight schedule, and sometimes the writing needs to change for logistic reasons (if you want to bring a character back but the actor is busy, etc.). Also the revolving door of directors can impact quality.
Film (if we're not talking about the big franchises) can be much more driven by an artists' vision.
There's plenty of complexity to go around in both, really. TV is just longer and faster.
Faster in how quickly the content is created. Traditionally, anyway. I saw a low-budget feature film last week that was 2+ hours and shot in 15 days. But that's very much on the low end, even microbudgets are often 20+ days. And a writer/director can be working on it for years outside of the actually-shooting-it part of the process. We're also seeing shows like GoT or True Detective now that are going for that feature film look and feel. I've read that GoT once spent 55 days on one battle scene.
But more traditional shows, like a cop/lawyer procedural or a sit com are put together very quickly, reusing the same locations and lighting and camera angles and so on. The show I'm on now (my lips are sealed) averages 2 half-hour episodes in 7-8 days.
But now with the streaming era, a movie if the director and others chooses can be made into a 6-10 episode mini series during the middle of shooting. If you look at the economics of this, that's a greater value in supply of tv shows over the demand and we consume it like addicts.
TV is not complex it just add unnecessary, stuff that why I prefer Movies
Yeah I second this
Wow! This is awesome!
Love this video
SUCH a good video!
Great video, thanks!
LOVE THIS EPISODE
Great Video!
Love this
3 MINUTES OF ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE !
I CAN WATCH THIS OVER & OVER & IT'S JUST AS GREAT EVERY TIME !
Just watching this video made me tired yet excited.
Good work!
great video!
Well done!
Whoa, keep it going!
This is amazing.
thanks mate that was really helpful :)
Awesome video :D
LOL! NCIS is my favorite tv-show and I was probably thinking about it the whole time... then you go and you show it as well! lol!
This is super interesting!
Very informative.
You Gus should do more various like this . I love this vedio so much ,please do more please please
I love Vox
20 mins, maybe more worth of content all neatly packed up into 3 mins? I'm impressed.
Need a video like this for weekly comics/manga.
I love how this video was based on the show The Americans since they interviewed the production people of that show. I love that show!
Can you do a "how a video game gets made"? These videos are perfect summaries! Great job everyone :)
Thanks very Much! At the moment my dream job is making my own show, this was very helpful
That's incredible, wow
*_-Nice animations-_*
Concept artists are some of my favourite type of artists
Do you have any videos on animation, specifically something similar to this, but with an animated tv show?
That's crazy. How do people in TV industry stay physically and mentally fit?
by doing this
Average workday in the film is 10-12 hours and 6 days a week and is extremely competitive. But the pay and environment is worth it
They enjoy doing it
Excellent
you forgot the music, but this is an amazing video.
I really like your voice !
my best regards !
Omg I thought about the Americans and you were actually using them as an example. Such an amazing show, so sad this season has ended.
I work at a replication house where we do tape outputs for masters (the places that still use HDCAM/SR and DBETA) and we usually do the closed captions as well. The pace is insane, and if the thought of dealing with a producer gives you nightmares, imagine your clientele being made it of them. Everything is the end of the world.
Thank you for this... Helps me a lot, please can you do a version on how a TV Commercial is made? Just think cause I work in an Advertising Agency and would be very useful for me and my colleagues. Gracias
Wow how interesting! Wish I could be on tv !!
Thank You
Very interesting
this is helpful
Thanks!
wow. Amazing how shows are made.
Yeah, there is a huge segment that was barely even touched on. Take for instance my dept. I am in set dec, the production designer is the head of my department, props, construction and art dept. Anywhere from hours, days, weeks to months in advance we fabricate, rent or purchase items and construct our sets which outside of studio is booked and overseen by the locations dept. Construction builds and alters pre existing structures, art dept makes all the signage, faux stained glass, and graphics, paint dept adds texture and color, LX rigs all the electrical components and then set dec fills the space with furniture papers, books knicknacks, puts up curtains and pictures. All this before a crew sets foot on a set.
Then after it is all over we take every thing apart, ship our rentals back to where they came from store the things we purchased in warehouses. At the end of a season everything we owned over the course of the show gets boxed and catalogued and might be shipped to a different place if they decide to relocate the show. The longer a show runs the more backlog of furniture it accrues because if they ever need to do a flashback episode it has to be available. The behind the scenes of my dept never really gets mentioned on anything like this because most people aren't really interested in the bits that are more conventional, even though we really are using trades in an crazy unconventional scale. Everything that is put on a set is meticulously documented so that when it gets recreated or moved (for camera equipment and lighting) it matches up.
What surprises me the most is how, in spite of all the work that goes into a TV show, most end up being total garbage anyway. Behind every total flop like AfterMASH or We Are Men there's thousands of man hours, late nights, and stress induced alcoholism.
Maaz Kalim keep the liberal garbage out of here.
....I have read many showrunners write about this "lightning in a bottle" and I think TV executives must be blind to it. Because nowadays they cancel good shows with promise and continue with shows that write themselves into a corner. But consider, if you are so close to a project, you're vision is clouded because of course you think it's great, you spent several man hours with several touches that no one else notices but you.
I used this video when teaching my students about film making, I am now back as I will soon be in a TV show and the irony is my name appears in this video at 0:40..wow!
Amazing !!!! I want to be a part of it.. lol
This is a good overview, but extremely simplified, for conciseness I'm sure.
There are dozens of departments and groups that need to work together during prep and production in order to make a show. An art director supervises the tone and feel of a show and will do a fair amount of research to ensure it suits the piece, but each department such as hair, wardrobe, sets, and props do even more in depth research so that the cars, clothes, buildings, and even magazines are accurate. And that is just the simple stuff.
TV averages about 4-6 times the content shot in a day compared to a movie
sorry theres just one thing ive always wanted to understand...when episodes start airing, are they already completely made and ready to be rolled out or ar they still being filmed even when the season's already airing just before the episode comes out?
Please do more behind the scenes, ex- how a movie gets made
I didn't know it was that intricate
So right after a season comes out, the next season is already done? Or halfway done? E.g Power. Season 5 just finished so is season 6 filmed or not which is due to come in a year
Wow! I'm planning to construct my overall plot of my unknown series...for now until I study abroad in America and hand in when I'm really confident in handing my pilot episode. Fingers crossed~
so now I know why rick and morty is taking so long
Nice video. Does anyone have a reading list of books about "How TV gets made" things like this vid but also with real examples here and there would be brilliant
exciting
Thanks :)
thanks for the video...whose music in the background?
🤯 That's a lot of work.
