How to Use The Pricing Calculator
Select the Style of animation, the Complexity you need for this animation, and the Length of the animation or video. As an example, a Standard Animation with Standard Complexity that lasts 30 seconds will cost approximately $8800.
This is an estimate only. Please account for a range ± 15%.
This is because segments of your animation may include both simple and complex animations.
How Animation Price is Determined
There are several factors that affect the price of animation
Duration
A short animation will cost less than a longer one
Animation Style
A photorealistic animation will cost more than simple one
Complexity
A complex animation (e.g. a hand with fingers moving) costs more than a simpler one (e.g. a hand moving with fingers static)
Number of Scenes
More scenes costs more than an animation in a single scene
Enhancements
Do you need additional music, voiceover artists or any other visual enhancements?
Interesting Fact Avatar took 50-100 computer hours per frame to Render. That’s 1,200-2,400 hours a second at 24 frames per second. The budget for the animated movie was 400 million !!!
Cost of Still Images/Graphics
Individual images cost approximately $2000-3000 depending on the complexity of the graphic needed. Increasing the number of images needed will reduce this cost, as we can reuse the 3D/2D scene used for the original image.
