I’m subscribed to Clients From Hell. Here’s a great post from yesterday:
Client: Do you animate bible stories?
Me: We don’t currently, but we can animate anything you like. What do you have in mind?
Client: Well how much is it to animate the bible?
Me: Well it depends on what stories from the bible you want. The duration of the animation, how many characters, sets etc. Do you have a script?
Client: Well I don’t want to elaborate on the bible, I just want to animate it for the kids.
Me: Right, okay, but in order to give you a budget I need to start somewhere so I can figure out roughly how many characters, props and such.
Client: How much time will it take for creation?
Me: The creation of the assets? Characters, sets etc?
Client: No, Creation, in the book of Genesis.
Me: A lot more then 7 days.
