At that little of money I would rather get a job at subway, or such.Lots of freelancers are under 18 / looking for a job, so any money is good money. Alternatively, it's the downside to doing exactly what you want to do
The minimum wage per hour in my state is the same as the federal minimum wage (7.25 an hour).
Hello guys!
I'm a small animator who started animating only 8 months ago, and I make Minecraft Animations for my YouTube Channel (ShadyCast).
I wanted to start commissions and I just wanted to ask you guys what you would pay for these animations made by me:
Tell me what you think of the animation, (what you liked about it or what needs improving), and how much you would pay for a one minute animation of this type of quality.
Both of these animations took around 40 - 50 hours of work.
If you could also give me advice about commissioning and tips would be helpful too
Thanks, looking forward to your replies
Good work, it's just gonna be hard to find people to sell to
You can also go the route of putting them on Youtube and using ads.
Sorry that you feel the pricing was out >.<In my opinion the prices are to high I wanted to order a 1 minute short promotional animation and he was wanting nearly $400.00 USD.
The animations are great and keep it up but the prices
When you say someone like ShadyCast what do you mean?
Hai Ben! :3
Thanks for the advice ^.^
To be fair Id rather do short animations like an intro or 30 seconds. 1 Minute would take around 26 hours and thats without rendering time and editing time too as I normally do all the editing myself. Also Im quite a perfectionist
if something doesnt look right Ill keep tweeking it until it is so I have the perfect product for the viewers. Thats why I have to charge so much If I charged a lower rate id have to rush it to get a decent hourly rate and the animation could turn out bad >.< But thanks for all the advice Hmm
I'm trying to work out if I'm a good animator O.O XD At the moment I think I'm around a mid rangey type XD I'm still improving 
Thanks George!
I'd happily help you out with a project around the summerI could see someone (Including me) Paying about $200 for a 1 Minuit-ish video. Good job
But I think $200 might be a bit low as I've set up a small system now that predicts how much I should charge. $200 would be more around the 30 seconds mark. I've worked out that I normally work at around 0.444 hours per second of animation. If you times that by 60 seconds it would come to 26 hours and I would like to work at £10 an hour so that would be around £260 which would be around $400. But it all depends on the project too Sorry if that seems too much for you >.<Hmmm, alright My server isn't out yet. So it really all depends on how many donations I get. I believe that my server should do quite well, as it's a very unique idea. So $400 should be okay (as long as everything goes to plan xD)
Also, isn't minimum wage like £8 in the UK?
