Movies, TV shows and video games all take at least a year or two to create... right? Well, not always. Sometimes, a movie or TV show takes a short amount of time to make and release, usually a few days or a couple weeks. This is especially common for small and/or independent productions, as they have smaller budgets than bigger movies, and therefore have less to work with to make the final product. However, this can also be a case of making an Ashcan Copy; the short production time merely being the result of the company losing their rights to a franchise that they own, and they either want to retain it, or make as much money from the IP before they lose it, depending on the original contract signed. This trope generally does not relate to total time between concept and final product, but specifically about the practical time to create the physical material, and as such, this trope applies to media outside of movies, TV shows and video games as well. Contrast with the inverse, Extremely Lengthy Creation, where a work takes a long time to produce, and Development Hell, where a work's production gets delayed for different reasons. Compare Christmas Rushed. |

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was infamous for having a rather short development period, even for its time. Howard Scott Warshaw, the game's programmer, was given only five weeks to write and develop the game's coding from scratch in order to meet the upcoming holiday release date. Warshaw's previous games were noted to take at least a few months to make, explaining E.T.'s finicky controls and confusing gameplay. | |

The Channel Awesome films had infamously rushed productions, with shooting schedules that spanned just about a week long. This led to increasingly hectic shoots as each successive special grew longer, on top of having to film crossover reviews in the same time frame, culminating in the cast of To Boldly Flee having to shoot a three-and-half hour long movie over the course of a few days. A film professional explicitly confirmed their production was way too short. | |

Inspired by Band Aid, "We Are the World" (USA for Africa) was also quickly pieced together as a song by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. The original demo recording, the backing track, and the final vocal track were all recorded in single-day sessions over the course of a couple of weeks in January of 1985. | |

Classic Disney Shorts: "Plane Crazy", the pilot short for the Mickey Mouse series, began development in March 1928 after Walt Disney learned he was fired from producing the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit series, and was ready for a test screening in May. Ub Iwerks animated the whole film in just two weeks, at a rate of 700 drawings per day, in secret while the other animators worked on the remaining Oswald shorts on their contract. "The New Spirit", a special Donald Duck short produced for the U.S. Treasury Department, was commissioned in December 1941, and the studio was given a six-week deadline to have it ready by tax season in February 1942 (Tax Day fell on March 15th back then). |

The next one, From Russia with Love, doubled both the budget and how long the principal photography lasted - but in the latter's case, four months when the movie would come out in six meant a much hectic Troubled Production. | |

Halloween (1978) was shot in only twenty days. This tight schedule contributed to much of the film's direction. Most famously, John Carpenter had Michael Myers' costume rushed out as quickly as possible by telling his staff to grab the cheapest getup they could find - they came back with a $2 Captain Kirk mask, which was then hastily spray-painted white. | |

Fallout: New Vegas was developed in 18 months, intended to follow up on the success of Fallout 3 without getting into the release window for Skyrim, although it used the engine from 3 which cut down development time. The end result was acclaimed from a story perspective, but filled with massive technical issues that the dev team simply didn't have time to fix before launch. Patches later fixed many of these issues, but some bugs have gone unpatched to this day. | |

James Bond: The reason why the film series was able to have a pace of one film per year in the early 1960s. The first film, Dr. No, was filmed in two months under a paltry $1 million budget, coming out seven months later. The next one, From Russia with Love, doubled both the budget and how long the principal photography lasted - but in the latter's case, four months when the movie would come out in six meant a much hectic Troubled Production. Thunderball also had a pretty brisk production time, despite the heavy logistics involved. |

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole famously covered "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World" as a ukulele mashup. What's less known are the circumstances of its creation: Kamakawiwo'ole called a recording studio at 3:00 AM and said he had an idea for a song that he wanted to play for them right away, and the producers were so touched by his polite demeanor that they agreed to see him immediately. Kamakawiwo'ole came in and sat down while the technicians prepared the equipment, then performed the song in a single take and left. The entire process took less than an hour, and the cover (which has appeared in countless movies, TV shows, and commercials) has since been placed in the Library of Congress's National Recording Register. | |

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius was reportedly put on incredibly tight production deadlines, with the various departments each being given a week and a half for each 11-minute episode (three total weeks for the half hour/22-minute show). Some of this insane truncation was alleviated by how it was a CGI cartoon (meaning assets could be reused, and creatives could be economical by limiting one new location and one new character per episode that could also be recycled), but this did come at the cost of a very hectic cycling of modelling, layout, animation, and lighting teams between episodes every other week, and led to many scripts being written on the fly. | |

Saturday Night Live is infamous for its short and hectic production schedule. It typically starts on Monday morning with a pitch meeting with the week's host and continues with the cast, writers, and crew working almost all hours the rest of the week to write, prepare, and rehearse the sketches for Saturday night from scratch. And there's a dress rehearsal on Saturday night a few hours before air time, and there are typically lots of changes made between it and airtime. | |

This is the reason Battle for BFDI was split into two separate shows (Battle for BFB and The Power of Two). According to Cary Huang, he wanted to release episodes of BFB at a rapid pace, but the story that was being told became too expansive to be animated quickly, so the big overarching story would be kept for TPOT and BFB would be kept to the comedic tone of the earlier seasons of BFDI. As a result, BFB reached its conclusion in less than a year and only one new episode of TPOT at most comes out per year. Also, each episode would be animated and released at a monthly schedule, making a short production time. Impressive when you consider only two people were behind it. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask received its Japanese release in April 2000, just seventeen months after the release of its previous opus Ocarina of Time. For reference, every mainline 3-D Zelda title since then has required 3-6 years of development time. The original plan was to re-release Ocarina of Time with higher difficulty and scrambled levels, which they later did when porting it to the GameCube as Ocarina of Time Master Quest. Consequently, the development team was given a very small window to make a sequel, leading to elements like the three-day time loop mechanic, reused character models in the parallel world of Termina, and only four dungeons compared to Ocarina of Time's nine. Against all odds, Majora's Mask garnered the same amount of widespread acclaim as its predecessor. | |

Logic's 2022 album Vinyl Days (consisting of thirty tracks and just over an hour of content) was created in just twelve days, with much of the "production" period being dedicated to getting clearance for all the samples it used. The album was made to fulfill his contract with Def Jam Recordings, and Logic admitted he did rush it out so he could become independent as soon as possible, though he did so with enough care and intent to end the partnership on a high note. | |

Dragon Ball: While the manga ran continuously for over a decade, each chapter only took a day and a half to make. Akira Toriyama attributed this to his poor work ethic, spending most of his time goofing off before rushing out each week's chapter just before it was due. Other mangaka, meanwhile, have repeatedly expressed amazement at Toriyama's ability to do this for so long, noting the immense skill needed to write and draw a week's worth of material that quickly. | |

South Park: Because of the show's crude style and sophisticated rendering software, episodes are able to be produced and aired within the span of anywhere from a few weeks to a few days (most animated shows take months to complete just one episode), with adjustments being made on the fly whenever necessary. Crude storyboards are made on a whiteboard during the writers room and are sent to the animation team within the first day while they are still conceptualizing the rest of the story. This near-complete avoidance of Production Lead Time consequently results in the series being immensely topical, responding to current events almost immediately after they occur (though this once backfired on them during the 2016 Presidential Election arc). A documentary about the production of South Park was even titled 6 Days to Air. | |

Dragon Age II was developed and completed in only nine months. The shortframe shows through in the game's quality such as repeated environments and assets, odd camera angles, and an underdeveloped 3rd act. It also had the shortest dev time in the Dragon Age series compared to Origins (7 years), Inquisition (4 years), and the ongoing Dreadwolf (7+ years). | |

Punky Brewster: The episode "Accidents Happen", a very special episode made in response to the Challenger disaster, was first broadcast on March 9, 1986 – almost a month and a half after the tragedy occurred on January 28th. | |

Spec Ops: The Line reportedly had every single voice-line recorded during the same day. By the end, the voice actors were just as tired and weary as the characters they were portraying - which was wholly intentional. | |

A rather odd example from Family Guy: As mentioned above, episodes of the show usually take about nine months to animate. However, "Ocean's Three and a Half," which aired in February 2009, features a lengthy cutaway gag of Peter on the receiving end of a rant from Christian Bale, using the audio from a real-life diatribe that Bale had screamed on a movie set just two weeks prior. The animators cut other scenes from the episode short and hastily animated a simple visual of an old-fashioned tape recorder to play during the scene, which allowed the dialogue to be added at an unheard-of pace for the shownote For whatever reason the Bale clip was only shown when the episode first aired, all reruns and the DVD/BluRay release use the original scenes. Fortunately the clip is on YouTube. | |

"Game jams" challenge developers (usually extremely small teams of two or three people) to make a functional game based on a specific theme in a very short space of time, often as little as 24 hours. The games produced are necessarily quite simple and often make liberal use of stock assets. For example, Cataclysm was developed over a weekend. | |

The first season of Charmed (1998) saw a rush to shoot each episode in less than seven days, which soon became a nightmare when one takes into account all the stunts, special effects and additional wardrobe changes required. Filming days usually lasted eighteen hours, and extreme lighting around the eyes was required to hide how tired all the actors looked, and eventually the network granted them an extra filming day. | |

"The New Spirit", a special Donald Duck short produced for the U.S. Treasury Department, was commissioned in December 1941, and the studio was given a six-week deadline to have it ready by tax season in February 1942 (Tax Day fell on March 15th back then). | |

For the 2022 Christmas special for Economy Watch, David was able to plan, write, shoot, edit and release the episode in under a month, compared to the shorter holiday special "A Very Hoarder Christmas", which took nearly twice as long. David was surprised with how quickly he was able to make the entire episode, despite a lot going on in his life during that time. | |

This is a staple of the Saw series. While post-production time varies greatly, most of the films are filmed in less than three months. Saw was filmed in 18 days. Saw II was filmed in 25 days. Saw III was filmed in 27 days. Saw IV took the shortest time to film by a narrow margin to Saw, at 17 days. Saw V was filmed in 42 days. Saw VI was filmed in 44 days. Saw 3D was filmed in 63 days. Jigsaw didn't have exact dates of its filming published, but it's stated to have taken place between November 2016 and January 2017 (about two months). Spiral was filmed in 51 days. Saw X is the first exception, taking about four months to film between October 2022 and February 2023, making it the installment with the longest filming time (and surpassing Saw 3D in that regard). |
