Help Me Help You! (a journal about commissions)

Thu Sep 17, 2009, 8:52 PM
  • Mood: Neutral
  • Listening to: "Uncle" by MSI
  • Reading: Western Philosophy textbook
  • Watching: a secret animationnnn
How can I say this...? I NEED MONEYYYY! But between college and possible upcoming Work Study hours, I don't know if there's room in my schedule for a regular part-time job, and it's difficult as hell to get a job right now anyway. Soooo, I wanna take commissions! *wiggles arms*

But I don't know nothin' about charging people for animation, which is something I see as a natural product of my body. XP So while I work on getting a Paypal together, what do you guys think would be fitting prices?

I'm thinking...

ANIMATIONS
* less than 1 minute (like a test animation or an avatar) = $5
* 1+ minute(s) = $10 per minute for the first 5 minutes, $5 per minute for all later minutes
* I'm thinking about a discount if you provide storyboards/audio (or the script, if you want to pay me to animate my characters for you)

SCRIPTS
* $10 sounds fair to me... Having to learn and correctly write for someone else's characters, even if it's a short script, is no easy task.
* (if it's my characters)

STORYBOARDS
* 1-5 pages (or something) = $5
* 5+ pages = $10

DRAWINGS
* $5

GENERAL IDEA
* I'm thiiinking it may cost more if you want me to animate in your style... It's nice if you're giving me model sheets and stuff, but you're also expecting me to quickly adapt to a new style.

If you can't tell, I don't understand the concept of selling myself and I don't hold my work in very high regard, so... any help at all would be appreciated (even if it's just letting me know that you'd be willing/capable to pay for this). And please tell me if I'm underestimating the worth of animations, I can't decide whether or not $10 looks like a lot to me. xD

Hi there, awesome gallery, I love ed edd n eddy too ^^

Listen I saw your collaboration with PtV a Decade of EEE, I was wondering where you got the techno ed edd eddy theme song in the credits and is it possible to download?

Expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed....
Expect nothing and you'll always be surprised!
:iconanimated:
Thanks! If you mean the credits music, that was a mix of songs from ads in other countries, one of which was called 'Eddicted to Bass'. If you mean the song I used for the theme song, that's from a special feature on the 1st season DVD. I don't think either are available for download, I had to record them all myself. XP
