Pricing Problem

[Rock Hardigan]

Hey guys i recently starting doing some freelance animations, and i have one projects that will be a stylized animation mostly done in AE7.

The animation will be 4 minutes long and is a music video what. My problem is what is the general price for this type of animation?

Decide how much you want to be paid by the hour. Than determine how long you think you need to finish the entire animation. Do the math.

I know that part, but what would be a fair price point. I have never really done a huge freelance project of this scope.

Well i'm not to sure about ratings and all. You'll have to calculate how much you need each month for living, and also how much insurance etc will cost you.

Then, are you goog? Are you real good? Are you outstanding? The better you are the more you can charge. I can not tell you how much you need to charge for freelance work, since I do not know how much you need. But if you are just starting out, I think rates between $30 and $50 will do.

Thanks, I think this is the hardest part; what to actually charge, since i have never done real freelance works. I think I would prefer to do a flat rate since it is just much easier.

Is there a website or pricing guide around?
