For a 4 minute 1 man passion project it would cost me 21k and 21 weeks. I was leaning closer to $500 and 1 month like my last video. I'm pretty sure I input all of my answers correctly.
Hey, thanks for letting me know. Seems there's a huge different in how we estimate hehe. Or the calculations for 1 man passion projects might be skewered. What did you put as salaries for yourself?
am also curious to know how much he input on salaries myself ? but that's just the difference from a passionate standpoint, there is a lot of leeway given depending on the relationship you have with your friend, colleague or even client.
the tool itself does a handy job if i may say so, the estimates are not badly off. The main thing that i like, is that it gives both beginners &professionals optimum pricing options that wont have a negative impact on the animation standard in general like when people quote an unusual low amount for their work esp if its meant to be commercial (but all that is dependent on how the salary level will be used) which took me a while to get, but after a little research and messing around,i see the applicability of it. :)
Closing thoughts
- in terms of commercial projects : definitely a useful tool for estimating advertising and music videos.
- in terms of passionate projects : only applicable in terms of crowd-funding your animation project such as short-film or
seeking sponsorship for it.
