Project Description:

Hi.I've been requested to provide a quote for animating a few children music projects. I have the audio content/CD ready to be release and the idea is to incorporate video content. To start with, for the first project, I'll need the modelling and rigging of the main character (2D drawing provided) and of a pencil, which will have human features like eyes and mouth. 3 of 4 pencils required in total, each with somewhat different features.These will then be part of a 3 minute video, where the other objects used would be more generic and/or copyright free (library stuff). The final result has to be at least of the quality shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWDDoyBzbIo
Once this is done, the characters will be used in several other videos all with about 2 minutes.
There's also the possibilty of a series with 3 minutes episodes for which a 20 second opening sequence will be required, a 10 sec. end credits and then 2 1/2 minutes of video for each episode.And there are other similar children projects requiring video.This will be an on going thing!
But one at the time...
For now I just need values for the main character and pencils on a 3 minutes max. video as explained before.
Please provide a portfolio of previous work.
Contact me for any more info.
Thanks a lot

The budget states "small project- $500-$1500" because I'm new here and now can't change it!In reality, I'm after the best value/quality to model he characters and create the videos.Maybe a price for modelling and then one per minute of video would be the best given that this will be an ongoing thing.Thanks and sorry...

Hi again, I better give you some more details of what I need, as it is a bit more complex:

- For the pilot, I'll need a 20 second opening that will be the same for all episodes.It'll be just the main character with a backpack/bag on his way home from school.Something simple using a lot of library/copyright free stuff.A school, a road , the sun shining, some trees and then he entering a house - his home.

- The only set for the main 2min. 30 sec. video will be his bedroom.A simple bedroom with a bed, wardrobe, some clothes, drawings and a desk.He enters the bedroom, takes the bag off and sits on his desk in front of a computer. The computer's monitor will show real images for a few seconds (20 max) according to the context of the episode (I'll provide the images). The other characters I refer to: the pencils, will be on the desk and will write,draw, talk and move.At the end, they all sing a short 30 seconds song.
- Final 10 seconds is just credits.

All episodes will be pretty much the same, but the middle 2:30 will vary slightly according to the context...

The 30 seconds of music will later be extended into full 1:30 min. songs and will require a video.

In total, there'll be a lot of work to be done.And this is just one of the projects!

But for now I need the 3 minutes pilot with broadcast quality!The whole thing will have to be very "kid like" as the target market are mainly kids with ages between 3 and 8.Bright, playful and colourful...
I will provide you first with a 2D draw for the main character and we'll work on that and the animated pencils.I'll then send you the script and a rough 3 min. audio with all the music and dialog for you to start the storyboard.I'll also need some titles and end credits.
Final render at 720i/25fps or even 1080i?!Good pro codec.

I need at least this quality:

This is what I'm competing with!

I need to be sure it will look at least like that in good 3D.

Please indicate an exact price for the pilot and then for every extra minute of video I'll need.As I've mentioned, all the characters and background will be pretty much the same every time.
I'll own the copyright and all the source files.

Thank you very much
