PayToLaugh - upload your pet, pick a topic, get a video of them weighing in
Filming is $0.40 a shot. Speaking the same words is a few hundredths of a cent. So the narrative — does it flow, is the joke in the right place, does it drag — can now be judged for about one percent of the cost, using the opening stills as placeholders and the pet's real voice. It also replaces a guess with a measurement. Line length was estimated from a word count and hoped to fit eight seconds; speaking it says exactly how long it takes, and a line that runs over is flagged before anything is filmed rather than after. |
