What is the unit cost/price of TV series animation?

I think there are many people who are curious about the unit price and price of TV series animation.

This varies greatly depending on the platform and scale.

Based on 20 minutes, the average price is in the following order: OTT > TV > Web Animation.

By country, the order is US > China > Korea = Japan. In general, the unit prices in Korea and Japan seem to be similar.

In Japan, it may be a bit higher if you receive it directly from Japan.

If you search on Naver, it says you get 1 million to 3.5 million won for 5 seconds and 650,000 to 1.1 million won for 30 seconds.

This can never be full animation. I think it should be said that it provides almost all children’s drawing styles, illustrations, and materials.

When made into a TV series, basic low-budget animation costs around 100 million to mid 200 million.

If you make it at a normal level, it costs around 200 million to 300 million.

When making more than that, it is set at 400 to 500 million won.

(Based on Japanese TV series animation)

For American animations, you get around 200 to 300 million won for a 20-minute main episode (the exchange rate has gone up a bit), so you get more if you do the planning. In the case of Netflix and OTT, the level of difficulty varies greatly.

(It is said that Arcane spent about 340 billion won on seasons 1 and 2.)

I will try to summarize the unit price above, the unit price I experienced, and the parts I did not experience through other links.

scenario

150~200 for 30 minutes (it is said that it costs up to 400)

> There are a lot of children’s films in Korea, but if you make a Netflix film, you get 2-3 times more.

Total number of cuts in 20 minutes – approximately 300 to 350 cuts

If you think there are a lot, about 400 cuts.

When receiving gross, the standard is roughly set for the number of cuts and number of copies.

1 won picture (1 won picture) 1 cut (LO)

– 2,000 to 35,000 yen (about 18,000 to 300,000 won)

I think going up to 300,000 won would be a really special cut. If you go for the series or PV difficult cut, you can get more than this. To give an extreme example, there was an action scene in Attack on Titan where Levi moves quickly between buildings, and it is said that the total cost for one cut was in the hundreds of millions.

It is usually said to be between 4,000 yen and 10,000 yen. (Approximately 36,000 won to 100,000 won)

(If you receive it directly, the most common L/O is 2,200 yen, 3,500 yen to 4,000 yen, and 2 won is 2,500 yen.)

In the end, the most combined cost is about 50,000 to 55,000 won.

For something with some action, I give 1-2 won, totaling 100,000 won.

If you work in the US, you get paid per foot, ranging from 14,000 won to 25,000 won per foot.

If both the original and the cleanup are action, the price is charged at least 2 to 3 times.

It used to be said that 300 feet per month was average, but…

If there is no work, we may split the distance by 150 to 200 feet.

Just because it is Korean Won does not mean that it is unconditionally set at that unit price, but within the set price.

This should be set considering how long it will take for the worker to do it.

No matter how expensive the unit price is, if it takes too long, it can be a loss.

The unit price system is a bit difficult.

These days, many people in Japan are offering detention to Korean animators.

I think it would be a good idea to aim for that direction.

2 won (clean-up)

-2,000 to 2,500 yen (approximately 18,000 to 22,000 won)

-It seems that most cases are 1/3 to 1/2 of the unit price of 15,000 won to 1 won in the US.

fairy tale chapter 1

-150 yen ~ 300 (approximately 1,300 won ~ 3,000 won) (excluding checking fee)

-It’s a pity that we still have to stay in Cheoneo-ma..

1 color

– Things like Doramemong and Crayon Shin-chan cost 500 won excluding checking fees, and illustrations cost 1,100 to 1,200 won.

If you receive it directly from Japan, copper color is 400 yen, copper color is 240 yen, color is 160 yen.

I used a copper knife, but the illustration costs 2,500 to 3,500 won.

If you go for the theatrical version, the price will be 2-3 times higher.

5,000 to 5,500 copper knives as of the 20th quarter of Japan.

In the US, the number is 12,000 per episode, and in DTV, the number goes up to 15,000 to 20,000 per act.

If you buy a lot, it will inevitably cost a lot of money and time.

At first, decide to what extent you want to cut this part.

1 background board (key background)

-10,000 to 30,000 yen (approximately 100,000 to 300,000 won)

However, difficult cuts can cost up to 500,000 to 1,000,000 won.

Director salary

-More than 50 million won

Drawing director 1 cut

-2,500 to 3,500 yen (approximately 22,000 to 32,000 won)

detention fee

-The most seems to be between 100,000 and 400,000 yen (depending on whether it is semi-restraint or full restraint).

40 to 50 million won for 3 to 4 minutes from live 2D planning to filming and sound.

Since each work is so different, I wrote it down, but I’m not sure if it will fit well.
