Well 20 quid an hour for animation is a no no!! You have to bear in mind your time that you cant do what you want when freelancing so make it work for you.

Freelance wage should be fairly reasonable, as its one of those cases where you may be without it and therefore need the money. Perhaps you should up it to 35-40quid especially if you are modelling and texturing as well. Also theres the render time where you cant use the computer to do work so are therefore wasting time you could be using it on another job.

I have a couple of clients at the moment and its not easy balancing the work, Im just knackered, but it pays off in the end, so again make it work for you, but dont charge stupid rates as you may piss the client off and they wont return. Do your absolute best and reap the rewards, they go hand in hand.
