Have you ever wondered how movies are made? How many weeks, months and years are put into the initial idea to get the movie started? And then the horribly long process of making a producer understand, like and wish to use your idea? Well then look no further, because the myths of complex initial ideas are about to be busted.

Despite common belief, Hollywood legends actually suggest that many big movies once started out as sketches on a cigarette box, which resulted after a moment of inspiration. Although this seems ridiculous at first, didn’t some of the greatest discoveries in history start from a very simple observation? Why would it be any different with movies? Especially since you have to resume the main idea of the movie in 25 words or less for the producer, if you want to get it approved. Not much room for beating around the bush there, now is there?

Even if the idea is simple, though, that doesn’t mean making the movie is any easier. Throughout the whole filming process, the crew can reach numbers of up to 100 staff members, who will be work on the movie for months, or sometimes even years. After the actual filming is completed, a smaller crew gets to work on their part, namely editing the movie, putting every scene in order, and most often adding the special computer-made effects to the original film. Although the finished product has a complex story line and an intriguing plot, the basic idea still started out as those vital 25 words that convinced the producer to buy the full story. So no matter what you hear, the movies will always be 70% inspiration (roughly designing the first plot ideas) and 30% perspiration (the work behind turning vague ideas into complex scenes).
