where can I get pricing estimates for video and flash ads without talking to salespeople?

Question

of course if there are pointers on what to expect and how to do it right w/o blowing a bundle, that would be appreciated

I guess I should ask about the cons of templated designs - they seem so cheap....

Answer 1

well i create flash from storyboards and some involve advertising. uhmmm. i guess the price reflects how detailed it is and how involved it is. usually when u use actionscript itl cost more cause its more time consuming. just ask around. i would go for rougly 20 an hour i guess. thats not too terrible right ;) haha. compared to usual contracting jobs at 35+ an hour O_O
but thats just me.
