Applaus zum Lesen
Ich bin auf einem Konzert von Mitch Benn – natürlich läuft es wie so vieles momentan remote: Musiker und Publikum sitzen alle in ihren eigenen Wohnzimmern und das Konzert wird per Livestream übertragen. Das läuft über Crowdcast, den Livestream-Service von Patreon. So wird sichergestellt, dass nur die teilnehmen können, die Benn auf Patreon unterstützen.
Crowdcast hat auch einen integrierten Chat, den die Zuschauer nutzen können. Der Sänger selber kann auch lesen, was darin geschrieben wird. Am Ende des ersten Liedes schaut er in die Kamera und sagt, dass es schon etwas seltsam ist so ganz ohne Applaus. Einer der Zuschauer kommt auf die Idee, den Applaus Emoji 👏 zu posten und bald folgt der Rest dem Beispiel, bis das Chatfenster mit 👏 gefüllt ist. Der Sänger schaut sich das Ganze grinsend an und meint, dass das sogar irgendwie hilft. Also füllt sich jetzt nach jedem Lied das Fenster mit dem Emoji.
Irgendwann kommt dann ein etwas ruhigeres Lied. Einer schreibt, dass es zwar kein Feuerzeug Emoji gibt, aber eines mit Kerze. Also wird jetzt 🕯 gepostet. (Am Ende wird aber natürlich trotzdem auch applaudiert).
Einen kleinen Haken gibt es bei dem Ganzen: man kann im Chat nicht zweimal die gleiche Nachricht posten. Habe ich also einmal mit fünf Mal 👏 applaudiert kann ich nicht nochmal fünf 👏 posten, selbst wenn dazwischen einige Minuten und viele andere Nachrichten sind. Aber das Konzert ist nicht so lang, dass es sich zu einem wirklichen Problem entwickelt. Ich muss nur zweimal einen Extra Emoji einfügen, damit ich applaudieren kann.

Reminder: Early next week (Tuesday, July 25th at 12pm Pacific) I’ll be talking with Jessica Abel/@visiblewoman (excellent cartoonist, teacher, and storytelling enthusiast—do listen to her podcast Out on the Wire if you haven’t yet) on Crowdcast about crowdfunding success, self-doubt demons, and building a career around communities. If you’ve got questions about how to get over your creative anxiety, or just want to tune in a listen, you can register for free right here.
Hi AD, don't know if this question was answered in terms of animation, if so where might I find it. I am a recently graduated animator and was approached by a company that wanted to hire me to do an approximately 1 minute 2D animation and they asked for my rates. I don't know what to charge and don't want to charge too much as to miss out on this opportunity but I also don't want to charge too little and cheat myself out of being paid for the amount of work I put in.
We have discussed pricing many times here, and the industry doesn't matter because pricing is so specific that we can really only talk about it in philosophy and in generality. There’s too many variables and you’ve given us so little information that we couldn’t give you an accurate estimate. For example, we don’t know where in the world you are. We don’t know how big the company hiring you is. We don’t know if you mean an hourly rate or a project rate.
Regardless, here is what you need to know about pricing:
When you are asked to quote a price and you don’t know what it should be you:
1) Ask peers doing work in the same industry
and/or
2) You respond to the question with a question. Something like “I can work with all kinds of budgets depending on turnaround times/complexity of work. Can you tell me more about your project and what your budget is?” That way, you sound professional, and you are signaling to them that they can toss out a number that you can then start to think about. Negotiation is a dance, and there’s etiquette and proper forms involved. We’ll be doing a Negotiation crowdcast soon (like our previous Confidence crowdcast you can watch for free) so stay tuned for more.
