What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAI is reshaping vertical microdramas, the phone-sized serials.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDirector Paddy Ma says that in the US she hired twenty to thirty people per live-action set, the South China Morning Post reports.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMore like a staffing revolution.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNobody ever gets a bad angle, because nobody ever has a face, and honestly the actors are now very well rested.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. Technically, the actors are resting permanently.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorDashverse says an hour of AI content costs as little as twenty thousand dollars, against one hundred fifty thousand for live action.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwenty thousand dollars buys you a dragon king now.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's just the budget, Dale.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine. My take: somebody typed 'Henry Cavill, but a wolf,' and called it a casting call. The Hollywood Reporter says viewers noticed.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. Casting by screenshot was already how most of this works.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's unfair. It's a creative homage with a very flexible likeness.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy final take is HOT: the first microdrama where the whole crew gets written out in episode one is the budget.
