The possibilities of indipendent low-budget animated films are really exciting, but even a low-budget film of any kind of quality is going to cost a lot more then 1.5 million. It sounds to me like they're just trying to make a lot of noise with a press release.<BR/><BR/>There is this French company Oniria Pictures, who are genuinely off doing indipendent low budget features for theatrical distribution....and the animation doesn't look bad. They seem to be doing it partly by painting rather then modeling all of their backgrounds, producing each shot more like a traditional animated film even though the characters are CG.<BR/><BR/>http://www.oniriapictures.com/renardweb.html<BR/><BR/>Nothing they're doing is gonna compete with Pixar, but they're not claiming to, either. I wish I knew what their budget was. I'm sure it was far, far less then the average American animated film, but I don't know by how much (I don't think being overseas would give them any kind of advantage when doing this sort of thing, because currently the Euro is worth more then the dollar). I'm dead sure they had more then 1.5 mil, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-1120248156633603502005-07-01T15:02:00.000-05:002005-07-01T15:02:00.000-05:00Oh dear... oh dear.Somebody is wearing their neckt...Oh dear... oh dear.<BR/>Somebody is wearing their necktie too tight.Darrin Hofmeyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080748265339523993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-1120233478289977852005-07-01T10:57:00.000-05:002005-07-01T10:57:00.000-05:00Yes, it includes payroll, plus all pre and post pr...Yes, it includes payroll, plus all pre and post production (voices, audio, sound design, score, mixing, film out, master, etc.) Can you get it done for $1.5mil? Maybe. Barely. Can you get it done well? Even if you're charitiable with the definition of the word "well", not likely.Keith Langohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496328772372705317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-1120232577612766142005-07-01T10:42:00.000-05:002005-07-01T10:42:00.000-05:00I don't know how things work in the industry for s...I don't know how things work in the industry for such budgets, but does that 1.5 million include payroll?<BR/><BR/>Is 3d work THAT cheap overseas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
