one of those shows might allow you to
storyboard your first fight sequence
or indulge in some serious raunch,
successful prime time shows also come
with structures that artists must learn
and follow. If a show is script-driven, the
writers are going to know exactly what
they want and they're not necessarily
going to allow a lot of improvising or
experimentation.
When he joined Disney's Gravity Falls
after six seasons on Fox's American Dad!,
John Aoshima noticed the difference
between the two environments
immediately. Among other things,
the production and budget demands
meant a different type of workload and
Aoshima's directing output tripled.
