        @scoot Pretty sure they meant the usual charge is 300, not theirs

      @ellistia Oh yeah, that's a perfectly reasonable price. At $300/s, that's about $18,000 for a full minute. At $150/s, that's about $9,000 for a minute. People gotta eat somehow.

        @mrmattimation The more I think about it, the more it makes sense I suppose. And the more I realise how crazy serious the animation business is.

          @ellistia That's why everyone outsources their animation to third world countries like China or Canada

          @ellistia animation requires some pretty specific abilities and is currently in demand, so an animator's time is worth a fair amount atm

          @ellistia The Koreans who work on The Simpsons are probably lucky to get paid a fraction of that for the same amount of work.
