One thing you should do to help protect yourself is use written contracts with the conditions for the work being performed clearly described, payment schedule clearly described in specific terms, and kill fees built in to the contract.
Look at the Graphic Artists Handbook: Pricing & Ethical Guidelines for examples of contracts. The contract protects you and the client. If the client balks at signing the contract then you probably should walk away from the job.
Don't do work on spec or without a signed contract in hand.
that's a great link...i have been wondering for a while what i should include in my contracts...
i work in the uk so i don't think everything on the site would be appropriate for me but still looks like there will be some good information there!
thanks :)
Yes.. how to believe the freelance websites. Most of the times the clients post the project and leave without any informations. But as a animator we are continuously following them and ask update. But they won't give any reply. In this kind of sites if we bid for 100 projects we will get at the most 1 project. How come we overcome this kind of clients. we are wasting alll our time like this only. coz as a small and medium scale animation companies we don't have any other options to contact the client directly.
Am i right or share your experience with me.
Only few sites are there which posts animation projects and the number of projects is very low but competition very high.
Inorderto take the project some companies offering very ver low price which affects others..even 100USD per mini.. for 3d animation. confused!!

Nothing is a sure thing unless you get the money up font. Some are better than others. If you are hungry you hit them all.
