Question
Hello,
I am planning to open an animation and explainer videos studio but as its a new type of business in my region, the information available about it is not sufficient.
I have read online about the processes and the business module but I would like to get your advice please.
1- I plan to use freelancers animators and designers in the beginning, but what type of designers do I need? An art director? Animators? Work flow manager? Any recommendation please?
2- Are there particular websites that I can find available freelancers in and hire on short or long term basis? I found some websites and they connect me with designers to do a single job and they charge a commission on it as well, so this is not feasible for me in terms of quality and profit, any recommendation on where to find these talents? Because they are not available in my region.
3- Are there examples of successful animation studio business modules and operations plans? Any recommendations? A module that doesn't put many costs on me in the beginning
4- what is the process I need to take to start and develop this business further and what budget do you recommend me to allocate at the beginning (excluding the office space and other logistical needs).
I am happy to take this further on a call and move things forward quickly.
Thanks
