For a 5 minute (give or take a few minutes) joke or skit, including all sounds, titles, etc., how long does it take you (personally) to make a Muvizu movie, on average?

How long is a piece of string?

... It's really difficult to answer this one as there are so many factors at play eg. How many characters are involved, how many scene changes and therefore how many sets are required, Do you have to create custom textures etc etc..

I can only use my own vids as examples to give you some kind of answer - At one point I was creating more than one Muvizu video a week. I used to make short sketches the nature of most only required 2 or 3 characters and the same average number of sets. If you have the sets and characters ready to go then it should only take a couple of hours at most. When I was making the "On the News" videos which were a satirical look at the news of the day I would watch sky news in the morning and pick a few headlines then I would write a script figuring out what was the best and quickest way of producing it, record the audio, then I would set about making whatever sets, characters etc I needed and then it would be just a case of directing all of it together, outputting the video for edit and uploading to YouTube.

From watching the news to having the sketch online took on average between 3 and a half to 4hrs tops. It had to be that quick because it was topical.

Hope that helps

Cheers
