Maybe the cost will be offset by a meteorite with a solid gold core landing at Chris Robert's feet

Maybe we are in for a Mad Max future where Motion Capture footage and bad scripts are more valuable than gold

I really hate to do this. Again, you appear to have repeated words you might have heard once and think you understand but you do not understand.

These accounts are not abbreviated. Abbreviated accounts can be filed by a company (or group) that fulfils two of three requirements, this company alone does not meet any of the three and so decided to comply with the law and not file abbreviated accounts.

If you have literally any knowledge of accountancy, you could tell within seconds by browsing the accounts but I'm going to teach you how to cheat in future. Go to the very first page and the cover sheet will literally tell you. Look at the previous year and you'll see it clearly state they are abbreviated accounts. Look at the current year and you will see they are not.

Citizens are weird. They like arguing that 'well, maybe Chris hosed up this way instead of that way' and think that if they offer up a large enough number of scenarios of Chris's incompetence it will somehow add up to that he's a great manager and everything is fine.

sorry I missed this. The reality is reshoots should be budgeted for. However you dont want to use them. That is the goal. If anyone wants to peck through all of the positions at cig look for one called LINE PRODUCER. This is the position that calculates costs and over runs for film production. If they dont have one for the filming aspect of production then well lol.

And even better if you imagine it with Hamill's Joker voice.

There is an example of a line producer on a video game motion capture. Shooting is shooting. I dont know this person personally but that is a real position even in motion capture.

E: nm, I think Derek just meant he is "finished" with his role in production, rather than backing out. Prolly just means he doesn't have any other material to do or re-do.

This ties in with something I observed a while ago on the CIG jobs page. This particular listing is dated June 20 but I think the text I'm about to quote goes back at least a few months before that. Do you notice any conspicuous absences from the star-studded cast?

I'm really looking forward to Sandi becoming serious box office poison. I know she's terrible right now but I want to see what happens when she gets the complete and utter failure of the largest crowdfunded game hung around her neck. She'll be known as the unqualified harpy that was only hired because she was married to the CEO. Tales of how terrible she really is and how awful it was to work with her will eventually be leaked to the press. Nobody will ever hire her for anything because of the stink of Star Citizen following her around.

Unless she goes to jail for money laundering first. Then it's all a moot point.

wait wait wait. you think *i'm* the one stretching the story to try and fit it into some psychotic narrative? no, that's you.

normal rational people (and professionals in the industry who understand these things) will understand that talent like hamill is expensive and on a schedule. if you have a performance capture shoot scheduled, and not enough time for a live action shoot, then you look down the road for another schedule opening.

"hey look, he'll be back here for star wars in july, let's see if that works for him."

it's not hard, and not a stretch. this is the more likely scenario. you can't do "reshoots" on set for a past performance capture. they are different purposes.

that's the last free lesson you get.

Friend, we do not use your Reddit-style markup language, if you want italics you encase your word in [i] and [/ i] (without the space).

As for your incredibly contrived fantasy of how this could be construed into a tale of CIG's competency, it sadly doesn't do it for me. Now I don't talk much Reddit, but what I think you're trying to say is that having Hamill on is more expensive than building a stage and paying the rent for the Imaginarium? And that he was too busy to do it last year when, to my knowledge, he actually cleared his schedule and dedicated himself full-time to Squadron 42, being the latest film by his friend Chris Roberts?
