Mid-five figures for a 15 second clip means I am in the wrong forum. I regret wasting everyone’s time. Best, Sam From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Brian Higgins Ask to see people's demo reels. Ideally they'll have some roto work in the style that you're looking for. Also, FWIW I didn't work on the Mekanism spots, but I'd estimate the animation/roto budget to be at least in the mid five figures range per spot, probably higher.

I’ve just done that with another contractor and have nothing to move forward with. It seems reasonable that submitting an incomplete fraction, (part of), which results in an unusable clip of one video would be acceptable as an audition to get the job.

If posting contract work is not appropriate, please ignore or delete this post and my apologies in advance. its perfectly fine to post about offering work. am looking for a contractor willing to audition for the job of rotoscoping these videos to a satisfactory quality. For the audition, I will provide a single 15-second video. I ask that part of the video be rotoscoped and returned so the quality can be evaluated before contracting the job. IMNHO this is pretty unacceptable. asking people to do work for free as an "audition" ? hmmm... get 15 or 20 responses, send each person a different clip. ...asking people to work for spec is wrong. good roto can take time depending on the material and asking for that time for free is wrong in the guise of an "audition". there are plenty of qualified people on this list who can do a great job. you are dealing with some of the best in the biz. if you want to see samples of previous work ? sure. to do the work ? no.
