The Animation Pricing Kit
The AniLot workbook for quoting animation by the second, with revisions and rights priced in
Our Animation Cost Calculator asks for a cost per frame, and almost nobody can answer it: it depends on the income you need, how many of your hours clients actually pay for, and how long a second of your animation really takes. The Animation Pricing Kit works it out. Part 1 finds the hourly rate that pays you from billable hours, times a real test piece for your hours per second, and turns them into a price per second and the cost per frame the calculator wants (on the worked example, $7.47 a frame against the calculator's $5 default). It shows how to count overhead once, and prices revision rounds, usage and rush. Part 2 writes a one-page quote with a deposit, prices render time and a re-render, and logs actual hours so the next quote is better. Every figure is an example; the kit is built for your own. With your purchase comes a personalised sheet showing what the job you priced in the AniLot calculators pays you an hour.
