Price in Australia for an exterior animation

[matthewbrewer]

I'm just wanting to know if there's a going average price for how much a business should charge for a 30 sec day animation? Do you charge per sec or something else?

$5,000 us

need a bit more info, a 30 second animation of a box is less than a city.

[kittyshean]

Usually per second. depends on scale and more detailed requirements.

Thanks guys, I don't have all the info at the moment. It's one 30s animation of a 20 storey residential building, running round the outside of it on the road. It's needing to show activity, cars, people, trees and activity on the balconies. It also has shops on the ground floor and landscaping.

 

It's all day time as well.

 

How much would it cost roughly?

i dont know - how long would it take you to do it (day rate) and what other costs do you have to cover as part of a business plus a profit margin?

 

i would suggest $5,000 as far too low for this kind of work given the size of the building and associated expected marketing spend (if this is for marketing?) but it also depends on expectations and quality of work. Charging by the second is from 1998 and and a unusual way to quote.

[Justin Hunt]

totally agree,

A single building w surroundings, $7000 is reasonable.
