Did you ever really give any thought to what it means when you heard your favorite band has been on tour for a year and half? Or how about, “its taken them 6 months of shooting in the jungles of South America”? How about when you’re sitting home on Christmas eve watching live TV, who is at the network getting that show on the air? NO? You may want to before you jump into the entertainment production biz. HAHA

Artificial Intelligence is no doubt going to be responsible for enhancing our human experience for generations to come. But can it actually know how to create or determine the value of creative concepts?

In an industry based on creatives and business folks, you are guaranteed to witness the clash of the titans. When it comes to decisions about the creative content and selling that content both sides have an opinion and both sides think they know better.

Many say they can and even more said they did. In most cases neither is correct. Be careful of false prophets.

Video games have gone from a novelty, PONG to a multi-billion dollar business. And now is dwarfing all other productions with some of the most complex shows in the world.

Well that depends if you're an artistic purist or paying for an exceptional performance. Are we talking about a solo pianist or stadium concert with singers and dancers running on several tiers or flying in on cables? Would you feel cheated if you went to movies and they just left in the actors blowing their lines or would you rather enjoy an exceptional performance?

In season half time runs 10-15 mins. During the Super Bowl its twice that. Sound like a lot of time until you consider you have wait till the teams and staff clear the field. Then roll out all the stages and cameras on the field, set the tech, coordinate the field audience, etc. Oh yea then there is a show AND then take it all down so they can start the second half… easy pesy!
