how much salary for the position above,

that's all, thanks
hope there some answer soon

That's a tough question since all these numbers are very hard to get.

Do you know how to to a google site search? It goes like this:
"searchitem site:www.someplace.com"

Places to seach are:
http://www.cartoonbrew.com
http://www.awn.com

Search items could be:
animator's wages, film calculation, cost per episode ... I think you get it.

Don't even try to get actual numbers or a precise calculation. Studio execs are highly secretive about these numbers. I suppose your teacher will be satisfied if you can give a good overview.

All numbers will differ between employees and freelancers, film and TV work, long and short subjects, episodes of longer series and one shots. I suggest you concentrate on only one of these.

You will get calculation examples from recent books about film production, seacrh your library. After all, director, producer, script writer, editor and sound editor are positions in life action films as well.

Some positions are calculated "per film/episode", others per hourly work, and Animators ("drawing artists" - nobody uses that term) are paid per second of finished animation.

Good luck!

thank you
I m really thank you

Go here for US rates:

http://animationguild.org/contracts-wages/

These are Guild minimums for animation.


http://www.dga.org/index2.php3

is Guild minimums for Producers, directors, etc.


Writers are a little harder, but here's some info related:

http://www.sag.org/ (go to contracts tab, look at specifics) Though voice is more often AFTRA.

And, note that these are minimums for union work. There's a lot of non union work, and a lot of union work that has wildly higher rates for some of the 'talent' positions.

It should give you some idea of general production costs if you start adding though.

sorry, forgot editors
