i got into dios after reading general hawks' dios. i came in after they had been going for over a year, so between him and other dio authors i had about a month of reading. i saw it as a way to still play with my joes and a reason to relive my childhood.
as for time consuming, it may just be me, but it can be very time consuming. the scripting is the easiest for me, taking anywhere between 30 to 1:30 mins.
actually taking the pictures can take me anywhere from 2 hours inside to around 6 outside. thew winter dio i did was longer then six because i had to keep coming inside.
set building isnt my strong point as im mainly an outside person. the few i have built are easy and fast to build. i use stuff like computer sides as walls and whatever.
as for photoshop, you cant really put a time on it as the more you do it, you get faster and faster. i probably do this in a 4th of what is use to take me.
i really wish more and more people would get into doing dios. at least try it once with a one shot, which is what you should try first if your worrying about your attention span. my first try was a one shot so i would not have to worry about a follow up if i did not want to. you, and a guy who use to be here(blowtorch) are two i would like to see do dios as i love both of your photo colors. by this i mean how you get such rich color into them. i dont know how you both do it, but i have yet to see yours and his equaled.
as a side note about time consuming and your attention span. look at violentfix, he took almost a whole year off from doing his dio once and came back to it.
