Films might shoot in other states for a few weeks or even a few months. So what?
Post-production is still centered in California. Post-production is the leg of making a feature film that takes three years and employs lots of people.
Every major studio, every TV broadcast network, and every major cable network is headquartered within 25 miles of each other in Los Angeles.
Oh, sure, “Breaking Bad.” But most TV shows, scripted and reality, network and cable, sitcom and drama, are written, shot, and edited in Los Angeles.
There are more than 100 stages at Disney, Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros., and 20th Century Fox. There are a hundred more stages among even older and newer studio lots you’ve never heard of.
California owns film and television production. But you California haters just go right on wishing and hoping...
Nope. No wishing and hoping. In Dallas alone, I’ve been seeing many, many post outfits moving here - and this place is secondary to Austin in the film scheme of things.
I said I moved, I didn’t say I left film behind or stopped paying attention to it.
Also, every major network? When did CNN move from Georgia? Did CBS close their facilities in New York?
In other words CA owns one of the key sources of moral decay in America.
