To begin with, figure out how long it will take.
Frames
requiring more work = 50,000 frames x 1/4
Frames requiring more work
= 12,500
You have 12,500 frames of high intensity colour transfer.
Days
needed for frames requiring more work = 12,500 frames / 2,000 frames per day
Days
needed for frames requiring more work = 6.25
It'll take 6.25 days to
do the action and special effects portions.
Days needed for remainder
of work = (50,000 total frames - 12,500 special frames) / 5,000 frames per
day
Days needed for remainder of work = 37,500 frames / 5,000 frames per
day
Days needed for remainder of work = 7.5
You'll need 7.5 days
for the remainder of the work.
Total days = 6.25 + 7.5
Total days
= 13.75
That's almost 14 days. Add in the extra
day of leeway: 15 days.
You should bid $7,500 for the project. Good luck!
