Hi Angelo, I appreciated reading your approach to proposing and pricing animation work. Very professional. My approach is similar but I am still a little new at this I am wondering about a couple of things. In your "Standard Contract" do you specifically nail down what the work is to be used for? I am getting at the notion that an animation created for a national broadcast is essentially more valuable than one that may only be presented to three hundred people at the stockholders annual. The issue is one of intellectual property and ownership of copyrights. A Graphic artist who creates a terrific image for a client only is licensing the use of the image for specific purposes. The artist continues to own and control the image and the copyright. It is the same arguement for software developers. How much do you charge for storyboarding? Michael
