With the rapid convergence of broadcast tv, cable tv, and the internet, it won't be very long before there's 1000 channels and nothing to watch. Someone will have to be producing programming for those channels and my bet is with the little independant producers using off the shelf products like Poser and Bryce make semi-cool animation series and features for broadcasting. Speed is not important to the independant, final product and total production cost is! Products like Poser and Bryce offer the little independants the ability to compete with the big boys at a fraction of the cost. Ultimately the broadcasters, cable and network, will start looking at the smaller production companies for fill products just because they'll be a whole lot cheaper. The Asian market has already realized this and major opportunites exsist for sell absolute TRASH to them just because they want Western products to broadcast.
