Cost of 5 minute Clip

[kentog]

I want to make several 5 minute clips, same characters. I will need soup to nuts work done, but it has to be good and cheap.
I need Writers, Directors, Animators, etc..
How much do you think I can get 10 clips done for?
I know the answer is "It depends" but if I can get ballpark figures, that would help a lot.

Figure about $10,000 per minute, minimum.

Some parties claim they can do it for less, but consider the quailty you might be getting (or not getting).

If you want 10 clips, at 5 mins each you'd be looking at something around $500,000.

That's not too much considering you are asking for 50 minutes worth of product, and a animated feature (at 90 minutes) would cost at least 10 -100 times more--depending on quality.
Animation, simply, is not cheap.
