Commissions? ๐ค
Added 2023-03-12 14:13:33 +0000 UTCA lot of polls this week ๐ณ
I usually take simple requests when people want me to do an edit for a theme or character but I start to have more and more people asking if I take commissions or not. I only did on in the past with DemonAnii.
So maybe I should start officially to take commissions? ๐ค
I don't know how much I should charge that's why I create this poll.
I will give you some information about my workflow so you can judge.
- Trying to find the right animations for a song can take up to 2 days so let's say 8 hours * 2 = 16 hours.
- Sync to the beat can take up to 6 hours (some adjustments are required).
- Adding effects usually take one day so let's say 8 hours.
- I'm not going to count enhancement since I'm watching anime on my phone when it's upscaling ๐ณ
- Adding SFX, or trying to fit the right moans in some scene to add some spice can take up to 2 days (it's the hardest part, I'm not even sure it's worth it but I like when it's close to perfection): 16 hours.
A total of 46 hours of work for a ~3 minutes edit.
I know I'm a little bit slow with this process but I like the final result ๐ค
I get paid 10โฌ per hour working IRL but a commission of 460โฌ sounds crazy ๐
I researched the video editor's hourly rate and it's 25$ per hour for a beginner but 1150$ sounds even crazier ๐
(I'm sure I would be rich by now if someone paid me all the hours worked ๐)
The question is: How much should I charge or how much would you pay for a 3 minutes edit? ๐ค

The SFX and moans add a ton to your HMVs and are a big part of why they're so great, so they're def worth the extra effort imo

2023-03-12 19:54:09 +0000 UTCI took 20โฌ for my first commission a year ago. So yep, 25/30โฌ should be fine for a commission beginner. ๐ค I will try my best for my second commissioned work ๐ค

2023-03-12 19:16:27 +0000 UTCidk pricing off of "how hard it is" is pretty subjective, dont really think pricing that way would be easy

2023-03-12 19:05:09 +0000 UTCI would suggest starting small yet fair, between the 20 - 30 mark for less intense commissions. But if they pick a song or request that would be harder to fulfill then I feel a price increase to accommodate the extra time and effort is definitely the way to go. Then you can raise the price if they want a longer song, a specific character, and overall personalize prices to fit the amount needed. Maybe throw in a discount if they're a Patreon subscriber or something. Especially if these commissions will be made public after the fact. Just food for thought though!
