GOOD ANIMATION IS EXPENSIVE

Pixar's Toy Story 3 cost $2,000,000 per minute!

Thankfully, you don't need Pixar's budget to make award winning material. But even small boutique studios are not cheap. If you want a good quality animation that will get noticed by distributors, then you're going to spend at least $10,000 per minute.

Star Wars Clone Wars: $45,000 / Minute

Bluey: $16,500 / Minute

Family Guy: $66,000 / Minute

THE FUTURE OF THE ANIMATION INDUSTRY

The good news is, things are changing in the animation industry.

More and more productions are moving away from large corporate studios and into the hands of the small players, thanks to our ever evolving technology.

Although boutique studios are becoming more and more popular, one avenue of animation production is largely untapped...

Remote Production Teams

Image
WHAT IS A REMOTE PRODUCTION
Image

A remote production is when an animation project is produced by a team of artists that do not have a physical location in common where they meet up to work.

These artists, organized as a team by a project manager, connect and collaborate online while doing their work from home on their own computers.

BENEFITS OF REMOTE TEAMS
Only Pay For What You Need
When you outsource to a studio, you are being charged a lot of overhead for members of a team that you don't really need to be working on your project. By getting a remote production team custom built for your specific project, you only pay for exactly what you need. Also, by hiring artists on contract for work delivered and not by the hour, there are no wasted expenses.
Location Independent
By not being limited by location, remote productions can use talent from anywhere in the world at extremely competitive prices. Even the big corporate studios like Disney and Dreamworks are outsourcing production to overseas studios to reduce costs. But these overseas studios still have large brick and mortar facilities to maintain.
No Infrastructure Upkeep
Brick and mortar studios have to charge way above and beyond the baseline expenses of a project, not just to grow their company, but to maintain their infrastructure. Building maintenance and upkeep, software, hardware, secretaries, receptionists, janitors and so on. In order to maintain and to grow a profitable brick and mortar company requires large profit margins. With remote studio productions, infrastructure is nearly eliminated from the equation.
CASE STUDY
Award Winning Animated Feature Film "Saleem" Made By A Remote Team
Image

Saleem is an award winning 3D animated feature film, produced by Digitales Media. The team at Digitales brought Jonathan Reaux on board to set up a remote production team to bring their story to life. Jonathan built and managed a remote team of 50 artists from around the world, from concept artists to final editors and everything in between.

The result was an award winning animated feature film!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST
Image
Boutique Studio
$10,000 / minute
I reached out to several boutique animation studios, sent them screenshots and animation samples of Saleem and asked them how much they would charge to make this film. The cheapest estimate I received back was $10,000 per minute.

Jonathan's Remote Studio
$4,000 / minute

This is the actual production expenses for Saleem, from concept art to final exports, including production management fees.

At less than half of what was quoted by the boutique studio, this is a savings of over $500,000 in production cost for an already low budget film.

In fact, the savings is more than the total cost of production!

Your animation project's production cost will vary depending on many factors, but you can rest assured that with a remote production team, it will be drastically cheaper than outsourcing to a traditional studio, while keeping the same quality and deadline.
