Hello friends! If you were given a project to create a :30 commercial about a sporting event, how much time should you bill for? Start to finish. The assets are just still images and VO. Images will need to be animated in some way, shape or form.
I'm new to the motion graphics world, and I'm trying to gauge timeframe for projects. Thanks in advance.

There is also no brand established. We need to create the "look and feel" for the spot as well.

1st get your concept down then you'll have a better idea, sounds like you already need to think about crew for your VO, VO talent, equipment, maybe you end up shooting a little, so then you have another can of worms like locations, equipment, crew, crap like that.
- Oh I wish we got to shoot. They provided images and VO already. Its a frankenstein project in the worse wayOP31
- Sounds like mostly a branding thing then. Be prepared to present still concepts first?monospaced
- Sounds like a motion project, not a video project.doggydoggdog

$500.000 not including the shoot.

i might have been a bit broad with the description. The project was fell on my desk last Friday and is wanted for end of day today. This was an unrealistic deadline IMO that was accepted by our accounts person. I'm just looking for fuel to push back. This client has a habit of requesting projects with unrealistic deadlines. Its kind of complicated to explain.

usually you multiply your usual rate by an integer when rushing is involved.
