studiomprd Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Daily Variety continues to be on this, too... since 2005, California has lost some 4,500 jobs, while areas like New York have added 13,000 positions. ... the loss of employment has been especially notable in areas like one-hour network drama series and big budget feature films... Randy Baumberger, president of the studio group at Paramount Pictures, said that when the studio plans for production shoots, “L.A. is not even in the selection set some times.” ...speakers warned that the loss of jobs to other states with larger incentive programs was worrisome because some cities, like New Orleans and Atlanta, are building up their “production ecosystem,” including soundstages and a base of crew talent.... A budget for a one-hour drama that is $3 million per episode in Los Angeles will be $2.5 million in North Carolina and $2.4 million in Louisiana. http://variety.com/2013/biz/news/industry-figures-paint-bleak-picture-for-l-a-film-and-tv-production-1200823506/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
