Thread-topic: [dinosaur] Doing Dinodocs in the 2020s & beyond (was Re: Prehistoric Road Trip,Tiny Teeth, Fearsome Beasts)

Very good point. I don't disagree. As a non-professional though my ability to contribute to anything targeting the big TV/media players is pretty limited. I'm wondering if some of the talent working at YouTube amateur docs can "trickle up" into the mainstream platforms. The great thing about Youtube is the unlimited "room" for programming - there's no competition for timeslots. But that also means the barrier to entry is very low. So I have no idea how the cream would rise to the top in this situation.

There is a shift of youth from cable to alternative-media, but a lot of the high end product of the latter comes from cable via the tertiary market. Only large organizations can come up with the money and talent to produce the full blown documentaries that lots of ordinary folks (as opposed to buffs) want to watch the most, so such will remain dominant.
