Hey, i think i got a job animating. It's not paying much at all. It's 25.00 for three min animation. I'm know i'm getting rammed up the arse, but i could use the experience. Hey, when you finish an animated pieace, how do you send it to a client. Is a Quicktime file the professional way to send it. Thanks, guys.

For YouTube/Vimeo follow their compression guidelines.
But you should really move the decimal point in the 25.00 fee to 2500. This is a more realist price for 3 mins even for a graduate starting out. About 150 dollars for a 10 hour day (flash/anime studio animation with character creation and direction)

Thanks. I think it's for film. I'm shocked anyone wants to even use my crappy talents, honestly. Some of the work i've seen on here, yes i would charge this guy half a billion for 3 minutes of animation. But with my work i'm shocked he wanted to spend 10 bucks.
