estimated cost for stop-motion puppet making? i need someone who works with stop-motion puppets?

Question by music man: estimated cost for stop-motion puppet making? i need someone who works with stop-motion puppets?
hi, ive been speaking with a company that casts puppets for stop-motion movies, they dont specialize it that only, they do many other things, but they do stop-motion puppets so i told them i need five (5), 6 inch puppets, they will sculpt, mold and cast them based off of my 2d pictures, with silicone, so how much would you estimate it would cost including supplies and labor, they arent painting them, they are only making the armatures and the puppets, so how much would you estimate this should cost?

That’s something you’d have to ask the company; they should give you an estimated cost or price when you’re negotiating with them. Materials and labour costs would differ from region to region and company to company.

It could be costly though, as making stop motion puppets is a highly-skilled craft and labour required to make something film quality would also be a huge factor in costs.
