@simon I always find things from the entertainment industry interesting because they have a very different definition of done than we do. Nobody is expecting changes to a video which is a month old, much less 10 years old, and that’s such a different concept than most software projects have.

@acdha I got to spend a day on a film set a few months ago and it was fascinating seeing how it all worked

In particular I finally understood why you'd have 30 people on set... it's so that if a problem comes up people can get it solved in parallel without blocking production, which is timeboxed, so any delays are extremely expensive

@simon @acdha speaking of that shoot I thought about that yesterday and was going to ask you at DjangoCon but did it ever come out?

@frank @acdha not yet, and I don't have enough information right now for an informed guess
