Scope Example: Adding a Second Character

Adding a second character to the suggested scope causes the following change: Both character creation and rigging/skinning/testing times will double. Time spent on final surfacing will only go up a bit, say, by 10 hours, because only a quarter of the original time was going to be spent on the single original character. However, the main animation time will only go up based on the percentage of time that both characters appear in a shot at the same time. If the running time remains the same, and the scenes constantly cut between separate shots of the two characters, you will only be animating each character for half the time. On the other hand, if they spend 80% of the time in a shot together, you will ...
