thanks mate
Yes I spent a lot of time on that which is reflected in a pricing of around $500 for something similar depending on the amount of information, animation, length etc..
Part of my rationale for this was to really set it apart from the Swish animators and produce a quality piece, which meant actually brainstorming and planning the piece out - the sort of thing in a mainstream business I would have storyboarded for a client meeting.
Then actually going out to local sand flats and taking photos of water pool bottoms in the right perspective, taking photos of the cafe.. cement bricks - I actually shot some aquarium footage on DV to include some awesome fish animation, which was cut for filesize reasons.
then the attention to detail - the muzzle flare reflection in the cafe window glass that moves in sync as it writes "$20".. the darker bottom picture frame reveals once the "$20" glass has fallen out.. the "window" shuddering with each bullet.. ripping paper and photographing it to get a nice tear.. shadow alignment on the cement.. that sort of thing.
I've been doing flash and multimedia for a long time... I lectured it for two years and actually won the International Designer's Network (idN) "best entertainment website of '99" with a flash site for United Distilleries Limited's Lemonruski.com.. back when we could charge 45K for a site
-Sorry if it seems like im big noting or anything but I don't usually participate in these threads or "sell" myself too much.. I do a bit of stuff word-of-mouth and feel I have to justify my prices which might be higher than the Swish kiddies but are still actually fairly low.
PS. Look out for some cool large format porn flash ads I'll have out soon.
