How do you know the money due to this effort? What do you need to consider for to say this money? The hours? The frames? The actions of the puppets? A professional animator like in Aardman or in The corpse Bride, how much could earn for a month approximately? $4.000? $10.000? $200? In other productions which aren't cinema, like publicity or commercials, they use the same method? Thanks Marc. - JUAN Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:28:42 +0100 http://www.animateclay.com/index.php/articles/69-behind-the-scenes/121-freelance-work-contracts#comment-63 Hi Juan, usually the studios will give you a contract since you would be considered a free agent. Usually they just do it for tax purposes and it tells you what you can expect to get paid, the length of your work and that they are not liable for anything else. It really depends on the studio, but you are almost always at their mercy. - Marc Spess Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:26:23 +0100 http://www.animateclay.com/index.php/articles/69-behind-the-scenes/121-freelance-work-contracts#comment-60 Thank you very much for this instructions, are very helpful. Do you know how are the most common contracts for animators? I hope you can post some information about this, it would help me a lot. - JUAN Sun, 18 Jul 2010 06:40:00 +0100
