Show Notes The game industry is smaller than the movie industry. The average movies spends 22 weeks in post production. According to about.com, the average masala (big budget) Bollywood film is $2 million, but many people make $3/day -- except the lead actor, who gets 40% of the film's budget. Sketchbook Mobile is a big deal. Scott Sigler is a guest on the next Scruffy Thinking, where he talks more about his process and getting your creative work out there.
