Actors are cheap, you know. People with name recognition are expensive, but the actual acting is pretty cheap. Sets and animators can be replaced by software. Think stock sets, stock backgrounds, 3d programs that allow you create sets based of standard objects. Reality show is the direction the industry is going in. People prefer reality! Seeing real stuff or stuff that appears real is way more entertaining than acted stuff. |

In other words, actors that people actually want to see are expensive.
>Sets and animators can be replaced by software.
That may be true in the future, if filmmakers ever get the open source ethos and create a large library of models that covers most situations. Otherwise, anything short of strong AI is not going to replace the artist.
>People prefer reality!
Some people do, some don't. I don't. If everybody did, there would be nothing but reality programming.
