Pricing
How much does an animation project cost?
Probably cheaper than you think.
Obviously, it’s case by case: each project is unique. But here are some general rules to give you an order of magnitude:
- DURATION: The longer it is, the more expensive it is. Explaining your product in 90 seconds requires significantly more work than animating your logo for 5 seconds.
- STYLE: Some more schematic styles are relatively simple to produce, while a very realistic rendering requires a lot of work.
- CHARACTERS: Creating and animating characters is time consuming and expensive.
- MODELING: If a large number of objects have to be modeled in 3D, it takes longer and is therefore more expensive. Conversely, if your story is simple and your setting bare (or if existing models can be used), you save money.
- DESIGN: Do you already have a precise concept (maybe even a storyboard)? We can save design time and you will save money.
- RESOLUTION: If the very high resolution of your project requires non-standard renderings, this could influence the costs.
- SCHEDULE: If your project is urgent and requires a rearrangement of my schedule, this could influence the costs.
- SOUND: Who is responsible for sound post-production? If I have to find music, add sound effects and mix everything, these costs are added to the project.
Am I the right casting for your project?
Every project is different and every studio has its niche.
There will always be major studios capable of dazzling us with their technical and creative prowess on ambitious projects. But with the splitting of advertising budgets and the quantity of messages, often simple, to communicate quickly, there is also a niche for smaller players.
Call on a large studio if your project requires:
- To mobilize a lot of resources (large team, a lot of character modeling or animation).
- To use less accessible avant-garde techniques (such as motion capture or the turnkey delivery of a projection project on a building).
- A great level of realism in character modeling or animation.
- Specialized special effects.
- Outstanding rendering in very high resolution.
Entrust me with your project if you need:
- An original concept that clearly expresses your message.
- A stylized rendering (other than 100% realistic).
- Fast turnaround time thanks to project management from A to Z.
- A competitive rate, since in my complete studio located at home, I only charge for the time actually spent on your project.
- Personal monitoring of your project, a lot of flexibility and constant concern for your level of satisfaction.
