Hi, I´m slowly creating my studio, I hope in 1 or 2 years it is working, I´m from Costa Rica, Central America, make sure there isn´t a fly on the map or you won´t see the little country.
Ok, the matter is that I spect to get clients from the big countrys, and I would like my Studio to be a first world studio, so if I want to do that i´ll have to know how the First World studios works.
So I thought I could get some advisors, people who can teachme how to make a real animation studio.
It´s there such a thing, Animation Advisors?
I´m maybe a little ambicious but i think it is a good attitude.
Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed to the creation of my studio?

There are animation consultants, but bear in mind they charge a fee.
You can get general information for free on-line , but bear in mind that if you seek info from a forum like this......how reliable is it?
You are soliciting advice from people whom you have no way to gauge the credentials of.
A legitimate consultant could cost you anywhere from about $5000, to $25,000 or more, and their advice and connections can be invaluable.
Yes, you can pick up information via dedicated research entirely on your own, but it will take time, a lot of effort and some guesswork. Hiring a consultant is a short-cut to that--hence the cost.

Yes I suposed them charge a fee, I hope I can pay it some day. Those rates are monthly, weekly or per advise? :s

Depends on the consultant, though I'm pretty sure the amount would cover the whole of the advice for that project.
To given an example: I would charge a certain amount for consultation from concept to the end of pre-production ( when layout begins), and if requested to continue would add to that amount to say, end of animation, and then edit etc, until the end of the first completed episode--which would garner the higher amounts mentioned above amount.
So, its not a weekly amount but, for me anyway, a project fee--lasting to a defined point-where the production can pretty much stand on its own.

Actually the best advice is to go and work in a larger studio for 6 months to a year. You will learn much more than a consultant will be able to tell you. You'll also make good contacts and you'll improve your own skills. Not to mention you'll get paid too.
