Screenwriting : If filmmaking is expensive what about cg animation? by Rick James

I see a lot of writers and producers who have stories to produce but don't have the big bucks to make it happen. Well I have an idea, ever considered making it an animation? CGI looks really great today, just look at all the action films coming out with lots of CG. It can be a full 2D or 3D animation or with live action added. The best advantage is it can be really cheap to make, if you go full CG, all that's left are voice overs. If you do live action and CG, then you'll need your actors acting against green or blue screens. A little more money, but less than a full out film. I'm turning all of my scripts into CG 3D animations and I'm doing it out of my own pocket. It's that cheap. Now I did spend a ton of money to get started, brought some really fast PC's, expensive software, cameras, lights and blue/green screens and training in game design and production. That was just to get started, but now that that's out the way, the production costs have dropped dramatically and although my training is in filmmaking, I find CG animation using game techniques a whole nother animal. But it's worth it.
