Hi there.

my name is Jeremy.

I have a BIG animation project that i am working on for a guy,… and I would like to see what the pool of Flash Guru’s think I should be getting paid for this web site… an aproximate #of hours that you think it would take to complete. hourly rate - - anything.  
I am in a bit of a pricing bind. and i need some real world prices to go off of.

THE FLASH WORK:

* * *

This is an interactive map of New York State.  
it is 8-10 stages long, and tells a linear story of a battle campaign, so there is a timeline type of effect with the navigation.  
Each page, has numerous rollovers, tool tips, buttons, dymanic text… and moving animations that detail the couse of a military campaign from 3 different fronts.

Here is what i have done:

I have completed the Maps in Illustrator and made them ready for print.  
To give you an idea of what the illustrator file looks like - - it is over 80 layers deep with multiple objects on each layer. Now i am putting this into a Flash animation… and i have never worked in Flash as a production artist… and i am rusty at it. I need some good estimates.  
I cant figure out how to post pic to this,… if i can i will post more pics of what i have done so far, to give you a good idea of what it is…

…estimates, rough guesses… any shout out will do.

thank you - Jeremy [silencematters@att.net](mailto:silencematters@att.net)
