I think everyone works differently.
What I don't get is when they talk about going over budget. According to Meat Bat 3 went from costing $600.000 to $1.2 million. Now I obviously don't know what that money is exactly spent on but if they talk about that kind of money why not first build your own studio so you can re-use it for next time?
