hello

Also wanna point out that time ≠ better product. For example a lot of people like pre-split bfb despite being very limited. Sometimes, limits breed greater artistry because you have to get creative and essentially lazy (which isn't inherently bad).

(the above also applies to other parts of production like writing, storyboarding, etc.)

Genuinely interesting question... SO LET'S ANSWER IT!! Because I think this question has a few answers, some of which are at the fault of JNJ's production cycle (by assumption), and some of them are things that can't exactly be helped unless there's a MAJOR change...

@CephenJ I'm also aware more time ≠ better product, but it's more so a general hypothesis more than an actual reason. Either way, I appreciate that you brought that up because I would've never thought of that...

@CephenJ Revisions are often made after theater releases tho, so I'm not too sure about that With the budget thing, that could also be a part of it. Maybe they're making less to save up, but still making longer stuff to give their team more work AND hold off viewers 'till the next thing.

forgot to mention, but backgrounds in OBC are also much more layered than BFDI backgrounds...

I'm also not saying BFDI DOESN'T do this, it's just that they tend to lean more towards simple, which is fine. It's been the design philosophy for a good while...

We don't know what's happening behind the scenes; all we can really do is guess. BUT... I think breeding actual discussion about this is fun and healthy over argumentation. So... let's discuss!

Overall, what's my point? I love talking about show production. I also love critiquing show production, and other critiques OF show production. I also like to do it honestly and fairly, with as many parameters in mind...
