Thanks for the detailed response Joe.

Based on your recommendations, I have the quote for the VFX / animation completed. Now I am trying to establish a per episode price for the colour correction / captioning (the client wants a flat rate for each service separately.)

Any thoughts on how much it would cost for a basic colour grade (broadcast standards, not stylizing)? I will be using Apple Color… no fancy grading suites. The footage has not yet been shot, so I don’t have anything to reference for the quote. But, the client wants a ballpark before I move forward on their team.

For the closed captioning, I don’t expect it would take longer than 6 hours per 22 minute episode, but if you had any insight on a flat rate for that, I’d very much appreciate it!

Thanks again for your time, your last post was enormously helpful.

Cheers,
Jeff
