Hey Friends of Sound in Great Britain.
I've picked up a job from London based animation studio doing a 5 minute film and I've budgeted 5 days for recording, editing, tracklay, revisions and mix. The question is now, what should I charge?
I've looked around on the net and it seems that quite a number of London based studios are charging between £250 to £300 per day for a edit suite with operator. Bearing in mind that the majority of these studios have really top-notch facilities, PT HD, super networked FX libraries etc and my setup is little more humble, do you think that £1000, i.e. £200 per day is reasonable?
I live in Switzerland and that translates to a less than what a sound editor would charge here...but then again everything costs more here.
Your advice is much appreciated,
Kurt
