why do Australians movie industry and television programs suck so much and they depend on American tv

Meanwhile where the future is, streaming Netflix is buying Aussie content left and right.


Um... I count that as TV. If you watch 1 hour to 30 minute shows, that's TV. Stranger things on Netflix, is a TV show.


They are completely different production and delivery models.


Streaming has given the power to the viewer and taken it from the programmer and advertiser.

mmmm ehhh....

Has it really? Has it really given power to the viewer? Has it really reduced advertiser power? Are you sure?

Because I still get stuck on seeing advertisements. There are still, even now, advertisements that I can't block. Granted the number is greatly reduced.

Now I do agree that the delivery model has improved things to some extent, because before what time slot a show made it into, greatly determined their success.

If you had a good show, that went into a time slot against an existing good show, the latter would lose to the former, simply because people couldn't watch both.

I think I remember that Seinfeld early on, ended up being a hit, because they managed to get a prime time slot, that wasn't up against an already popular show.

With the internet, there are no time slots. Every show can compete for views.

But it's still the same people making the investment choices. Someone has to fund the show. Unless you have super low budget shows, which... rarely gain much viewership.

All the big shows on Netflix, are the ones that someone, or Netflix themselves are funding.

All big budget quality shows have to have someone funding it.

Even shoe string programs, are super low budget until someone funds them, and then the programmers have control.

Famously Felicia Day's "The Guild" started off with her pulling 'props' out of trash cans. Nearly the entire first season, is her sitting in her garage, with trash she found people throwing away. Broken lamps, and such.

The dialog was corny, and the actors put in minimal effort.

Now 6 seasons later, with backing from Microsoft, which premiered the show on Xbox Live Marketplace, Zune Marketplace, and MSN Video.

And they of course controlled access for paying customers.

So I don't think that it really is all the different, other than you no longer have a fight over who gets prime time slots.

And I think as time goes on, we'll see eventually a divergence of advertising funded, and pay-service TV programming over the internet.

I don't think much will change honestly.
 
I will say this, America is in a golden age of short form - series drama writing and production.

You think so? What examples do you have of that?


Yes it has, TV is passive, one has to watch what is programmed at the time they offer it and with ad breaks.

Streaming of course gives the viewer the choice to program for themselves and determine the times, even binge if they like. The banner ads on the site need never be noticed at all.

Well some of my favourites.

Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Sopranos, Better Call Saul,

But over all most people who work in writing or media production see the last 20 years as a golden age of expanding opportunity and more creative freedom because of streaming.

That could end however, all golden ages do.

No I'm talking about video playing ads, that can't be blocked.

When I am on Netflix or Stan and click on a show I get the show, no ads.

Maybe your streaming source is different?

The only reason The Avengers End Game grossed that much is because an Aussie starred as Thor.

Population has nothing to with quality and Australian quality sucks

But the best most talented people want to go to the places that are the best, which is LA, NYC and London.

Not all of them, we have Aussie actors who are icons and have chosen to work weaving Aussie stories, but sure the majority go where the money is. Most come back and work here as well.

I personally know an Aussie film maker who is directing a new film starring Sylvester Stallone, the working title is Samaritan. This gives him the money and freedom to then fund projects back in Australia. And as Australia has control of the pandemic many big American producers are considering using our studios and locations.

Tom Hanks is in a film about Elvis and the Colonel being filmed in Queensland and the Marvel film “Thor: Love and Thunder,” will shoot in the Disney-owned Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia.
