For Indian Animation Studios

Hi

Well we want to outsource one of our work of 26 min 3d animation to an Indian animation studio. Well in Uk there is scepticism about the standards of an indian animation studio.

So what i will need is that, are your studios up-to-date with latest technology for animation. Since we are time bound so we will need to know few answers, So that we can calculate the approx time, in which you can deliver our product. Just mail me at walter_brain@yahoo.co.uk, with the answers to the following questions.

I need to know some Hardware & Software specs that you all use: (if our head is satisfied then we will look forward to a healthy business relationship):

The more exact and technical your answers are, better it is for us to judge:

We expect- fast Workstations (preferably SGI's FUEL , not compulsory but of course prefered) and tell us the number of workstations you have, details about WS specs would be appreciated.

We expect -good lan speeds so we can review the work from here also. Mention the speeds.

We expect -You have good animators with experience in Maya or 3DS Max, Alias Motion bulder (preferred), Shake or gfx pro or chalice or any other good compositing software or rotoscoping tools and mental ray for rendering purposes. Tell us the exact size of the 3d animator workforce you have.

We expect - How much would it cost(in per minute terms).We just want to animate, no scripting, no story boarding, just animating and rendering. Our representaive will provide you with all you need when you will need it. A detailed breakup of your cost in Euro's and other details.
Quote for the best animation that you can provide and try to make a benchmark by stating some already done work so as to define your standards.

Thats all, thank you.
