Questions on time required to model & animate.
15 3D models need to be designed & rigged for animation
42 lines of dialogue to lip-sync
One song (21 lines) with character models dancing
About a dozen action / effects shots ranging from playing a guitar to throwing a baseball and one character shifting it's shape.
So I'd appreciate some help estimating a schedule for him. Assuming we hire more experienced people than myself, how long to animate one line of dialogue (in A:M it would take me about a day, but after having it critiqued, perhaps another half-day). How long to design each character model? How much time to allow for checking & revisions? Also, I assume there are a lot of competent animators and modelers around ready to jump at a paying job? I'd like to be able to tell him so many animators & modelers could to it in 6 months; so many in 3 months.
Thanks!

"15 3D models need to be designed & rigged for animation"
That could mean anything from Jimmy Neutron to Lord of the Rings, too many variables.

The best information I have on the characters is that some will by like planets, the Sun and Moon, "Orbs with faces but as cartoonish characters" and one will be a dog. Others maybe be simpler, I think all "cartoonish" so maybe using Toon Render.
Also can some one give me typical pay rates for animators & model designers?
Thank You!
