Bid Configuration
In
the next future DV plans to introduce a mechanism to permit you
to properly configure the seats number and split per license type
according to the volume of production required by the user.
Take advantage of the following
suggestion:
- Collect
all the necessary data
- Identify
the average volume per week needed
- Identify
the average complexity of animation (number of drawings per
minute)
- Identify
other relevant data: forecasted retakes, number of working
shifts, system manager availability
- A
simple rule for a first rough estimation
- two
26 minutes / month require: 2 Studio + 3 I&P + 2 A&R + 1 RenderOnly
for TV Serie type of work
- Ask
DV for support (
toonz.company@toonz.com)
and to double check your estimation
