To shoot Twistys type content costs a lot of money. Top shooters, models, make up, clothing, location extras like travel, equipment, refreshments. Non exclusive just for the Internet will never bring in the sales to support it. It needs the sales of magazines and DVD to train the shooters and fund the productions. You can't shoot top end on a budget of anything less than $1,500 a scene.
Before anyone flames me. Costs are approx and not including agents, admin, correction, editing, etc.
Model = $1,000
Make up = $500
Clothing = $200
Location = $1,000
Top shooter = $1,000
Extras = $300
Try shooting more than 3 scenes a day and the whole thing is filler content full of basic mistakes.
