Crazy Maple Studio reviews

Happy they are producing a lot consistently but it’s very low pay for A LOT of work. This is from talking to many people who have worked various roles on their productions as well as my experience. It’s not industry standard, it’s well below. So you get a lot of recent college grads. The awful part is that you keep hearing about how profitable the company is but they keep slashing budgets and asking people to work for less and less but be on call 24/7. When you shoot a hundred page script in 10 days, over and over again and you can’t keep some of the same crew that’s a huge problem. The pay is either crap or it’s a hard environment to work in. When it’s both, it’s a losing equation and that puts a lot of pressure on the producers and everyone else has who has to hire and replace people last minute. They even openly admit they are mass producing garbage for the masses. At least commercials pay well. The good part of not producing “art” is that crew and talent get a lot of leeway to make individual choices with their measly budgets. But this is definitely work you take when you’re desperate. You have to pay for efficiency, experience and talent. Each production feels like people making a film for the first time because honestly that’s who’s willing to do these jobs. So it’s very stressful knowing disasters and emergencies occur on a daily basis. The higher ups are worse because they work under a really hardcore corporate, Chinese way of working which is more more more for less money. You don’t hear a lot of good things from the people who run the company. Not a very good environment long term. But hey, if you need to pad your resume, do a few of them!

Not much to be honest
