How Does This Work?
Overview
Step one: reach out! If you have a project for me, let me know. Include any relevant information you can think of and I will respond with clarifying questions to ensure full understanding of your needs. I am available for voice or video call over Zoom, Teams, Discord, etc. for projects that need more TLC.
I require 50% of quoted price upfront, before production begins.
The last 50% to be paid upon final delivery of finished assets.
How do I take payment?
Canadians can send Interact E-Transfers directly to me.
International clients can use Paypal or create a Payoneer account for extremely convenient international payment options.
+ 5% Goods and Service Tax (GST)
Depending on scope and complexity of your project, delivery of finished assets can be expected anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Estimated timeline based on your specific needs will be discussed and adjusted before production begins. (see Rush Fee below)
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
Need assets ASAP?
Rush Fee (48-72 hrs)
+ 20-50%
Do your animations need sound?
Want the working project files?
Editable Project Files
+10-25%
Sound Design
+ $100-$600
RENDERING
What renderer are we using?
The method and software used to render 3D graphics determines the quality and time investment required.
Depending on whether your project requires a simple/stylized feel vs. a more realistic/detailed finish, the software we choose to render the final composition with will effect timing of expected asset delivery and pricing. The production pipeline can split into different processes depending on what kind of set up is needed to render the final scene in the chosen software (Blender vs. Maya - see below).
(To see the differences, look at the presence/quality of reflections and refractions in the rendered materials)
Rendered with: Blender - Eevee
-
Render time: a few minutes
-
(real-time PBR rendering)
-
works well with stylized/simple animations (low detail, cartoon feel)
Rendered with: Blender - Cycles
-
Render time: a few hours (~3)
-
(path-trace PBR rendering)
-
works well for more complex scenes that need a more realistic feel
Rendered with: Maya - Arnold
-
Render time: a few hours (~4)
-
(path-trace PBR rendering)
-
ideal for the highest quality animation (industry standard)
Pricing
Motion Branding Package Pricing
A few factors go into determining the price for motion graphics services.
-
Do you have a logo or element already designed and prepared for animation?(.psd or vector image) If so, your prices will fall to the lower end of the range.
-
If your logo/branding elements are established but still need to be prepped for motion (vectorized), prices will be mid range.
-
If your logo or brand identity still needs some development and polishing before motion asset creation, I will finalize your ideas, present options and ensure the chosen design(s) feel complete. If look development and graphic design are required for production, prices will fall to the higher end of the range.
-
Branding systems that are clean and simple will be priced lower than branding with more complex elements and asset components. The more complex a design, the more complex the process of animating.
3D Design and Animation Pricing
A few factors go into determining the price for 3D design and animation services.
-
Similar to the Motion Branding Packages, if ready-to-use assets and designs are already available the process will be faster and the price lower. If look development and graphic design are required for production, prices will fall to the higher end of the range.
-
Assets that are clean and simple will be priced lower than assets with more complex elements and components.
-
Detail of texture and whether UV layouts are necessary, the amount of lighting and FX required for rendering, the resolution and length of the final deliverables (render times), whether compositing render layers is necessary, whether animation requires rigging or just blend shapes and keyframes, etc.
