Budget Research: Staff

With the studio now pretty much decided on, it's time to have a look at the staff I'm going to need:

The animation itself is going to be CG with 9 episodes at 10 minutes each. 

With this in mind I'll be able to make a decision on the size of the team I'll need, then have the teachers check over it before anything is final of course! I'm using our course references for studio staff and their wages, which I'm not sure if I can upload onto my blog... So I won't.

That seems to be about everything that will be needed, with sound editing being in house rather than outsourced (I'm a bit of a control freak and this is imaginary... So I want everything in house).

That's 20 in house staff for the duration of the production, and 8 temporary contract staff.

Theoretically the production should take around 6 - 8 months.

Next up is the equipment budget!
