Stand-in footage: Tears of SteelMade with Mr. Yellow
We’re making a series with it.
Mr. Yellow Studio started as the tool for our own show. This page fills in with the season’s real numbers, episode by episode.
What the lab measured
16 experiments, about $62 of generations, settled every technology before a line of product code: the queue, the media pipeline, the scene server, search, the checks.
What a shot costs
A five-second 720p shot approved on its third try costs about $0.71 per approved second. Three 480p draft renders and one 1080p finish: about $0.89 per approved second, at 1080p.
What a generation holds
On 95 generations from our own testbed, the ingest found 5.7 cut points per generation on average, so a typical generation gives six or seven takes.
Start with the script.
Bring a Final Draft or Fountain file, or open our sample production, and scene one is waiting. Or talk to us, and we’ll show you the studio on your own script.
