Awesome and probably my favourite example of kinetic typography...
Can I ask how much one could hope to earn from such a project?
First I thought... $5000 on the low-end, as an after-hours hobby project for beer money, beats burger flipping.
Then I thought, well, this is equivalent to a one-time three-months full-time highly specialised consulting gig, has an audience of 50 million people, probably a highly integral part of the success of Al's song, included some subcontracting (to his brother), not a lot of people can do this... so this gotta be worth at least $50k (coming to $100/hour which again, seems just about right or again on the low-end for something like this).
He clearly massively overdelivered, I mean you can watch this thing frame by frame a dozen times and still discover tiny little details and jokes he included in the graphics, that's insane (in an awesome way) and you probably can't expect anyone to do that in a project spec up-front.
But then again, he's not doing this full-time, he's not a specialised business with a dozen GFX artists and if you'd quote $50k on this to a major corporation, they'd probably outsource it to a guy overseas (...) who'd be happy to try his luck for a thousand bucks or so.
What do you think? I'm just curious.
