Greetings everyone! I am new here...:) Could anyone tell me about the flash animation market price in the US? Lets say 1 character of animation, 20 seconds, plus audio, how much would it cost?
I've sold some for as little as $50.00 will never do that again and a few for $200 each. And one competition for a 90 second piece for $10,000.00. So it depends on the market and what you are up against. Also how hungry you are. Now adays I estimate my time and charge $20.00 an hour. Wishawish.com offers commissions based on how many clients choose your card.
Thanks Phacker. Think I just mis-read the message. You mentioned your prices for animation projects...what have you worked on?

Pat, I was being lighthearted. It's the eagerness and resourcefulness that -made- me smile, because of the situation everyone's in. I chose the colors intentionally too. Fan of capitalism.
Hi Packer,
Do u have a link to your 90 second flash that won the competition? I have visited ur site, is very nice...~ congrat!
I don't have a link anymore. It was for the True Majority interactive media contest a couple years back. It turned out to be a memorial for Martin Luther King Jr., right before the anti-war march with Jesse Jackson that was held in Washington. It was made to spec for Ben Cohen.
I just want to say I knew when I was working on that piece I was whoring...but I needed the money. Would love to find another chance to make that kind of money, but I have to say my Scoot stuff is much more satsifying for me artististcally, even if others don't like my stuff. With the Scoot I can work on stuff that I like and support, and even though my animations skills aren't up to the Disney standards I can have my say. With each Scoot piece I learn, and I hope I never stop enjoying the learning process. Not that I didn't enjoy working on that piece in memory of MLK. I did, but my best stuff is on Scooter's World, it didn't live up to the Jesse's scale. I love that MLK card with the Balm of Gilead. To me it was the best.
I'm no expert but until "they" get here I'd imagine specifics on those variables would be helpful.
How detailed is the character? How many frames per second is that 20 seconds of animation (an indirect way of also asking what the eventual intended medium for display is)...who's recording the audio, and how, at what quality?
more detail
12 fps, simple cute character with bg design, any audio, could be free (to suit the mood), just imagine it as an "flash e-card"..
Thanks
Anyone?
Anyone could help? Thanks

Hi, email me and we can sort something out. I can produce a short animation for a low price.
Look forward to hearing from you,

Amy I don't think he was asking for help with the animation, I think he was asking for pricing help.

haha Everyone's a salesman.
Vincent, some of us are scraping for every morsel. I am sure that's what Amy was after. No one should laugh. This is a tight market.

I've basically sold ecards, banners and headers. Some animated logos.

I don't see it listed on their site any longer.
