We have three basic levels of per finished minute for editing and two basic levels for per finished minute of pure animation.

We don’t always use this to create an actual proposal, but we use them internally and with our best clients to throw a number out before the project. We are very close at estimating this way.<<< Rick, would you be willing to post in more detail about this? I'm dealing with the same issue of trying to estimate time to bid. I must admit it's a bit like trying to find your way around in a dark room. I'm about to change from life history type projects with packages to trying to bid to businesses for web video and am trying to get a ball park for how long various types of projects should take. Thanks.
