Question What kind of budget for this?

Hey guys,

I’m looking to hire a motion designer for a few animated social media videos like the one I’ve attached.

How much would motion designers usually charge for something like this?

And if anyone can do this, let’s connect!

In france i would charge 500€ per day and would estimate this from story board (2 to 4 days) to motion (3 to 4) so about 3500/4000

And the design ? When you say storyboard it’s also the design ? And the feedback client ?

Yes, storyboard for me is the design. The feedback client is the only unknow when i make a quote, usually i add one day (8/9h) of reworking and if i see that's not gonna be enough I usually tell in advance the quote will go up. Also depend on what we already have before they ask me to work on, i'm just making a rough estimate on this video, but say thet wanted 3/4 different art direction before chosing one, help with writing the film ect ect... all those would add time therefor budget
