Typical freelance pricing questions. - Page 2

The method I use is a standard flat-fee for each rendering plus a one-time modeling fee for each space. Keep in mind that whatever method you use needs to be very clear and appear fair. You should also include a buffer for changes because clients hate change-orders...

Can you go a little it in depth on what you mean here? The way that I read it is that you charge $X for each rendering (Just say $500) and then a one time modeling fee for each space (Just say $750). Since I'm doing 4 images ($2000) on two different spaces ($1500) I would charge $3500 for the four images and then "X" amount for changes. Is this what you mean? Thanks.

Yes. That's exactly it.

Eddie,

this sounds pretty fair, but how do you apply this price scheme to animation work?

Ex: modeling fee + flat fee per second of animation?

Yes. It's similar, but we charge per minute. A typical animation is about 3 minutes. Besides modeling, we also charge for editing separately and other production items, such as, Aerial Video and Green Screen.
