I don't know... 5 minutes of 3D is a pretty big project...
And you really shouldn't be posting the same thing in several threads in the same forum.
Look for someone who do this professionally. I assure you it won't be 50$ though user added image

I guess the price would depend much on what you would like to be modeled and animated. 5 minutes of animation is a lot of work, and i'm sure if it's complex, it'll cost a lot.

I think you would get a better look for less money if you do something live action with your friends or somthing.

The song just needs to be simple....a white background with a few characters and a car @ the back....only a few effects. a very simple video. I'll explain better to anyone interested

I have to agree with LauriePriest there
simple or not, 5 minutes of animating will still take some time

Thats true.

Also, measuring complexity with the number of characters, cars, effects isn't accurate.

A hundred 50-poly characters is easier and faster to make than one character built from a million polygons. This would apply to the car as well. As for effects, well, depending on the effect, the complexity to perform each would also vary.

And I haven't gone into animating yet...

I think i have to analyze the video bit by bit.

The whole song is gonna have 6 characters and good enough they all look alike so you can just make changes on their faces.

There will be 3 scenes.

The first will have a Green white Green Background (Nigeria Flag)a nice packed car and just 3 people in the scene rapping. Just moving. The beat has a slow tempo.

The second scene will be the second verse where the back ground will change to a galaxy(Stars) and 2 people will be in the scene taking the rap in turns, and it will change to the first scene once in a while.

The third will have a background with "OLLYDAVE" written and 3 more characters in it. just rapping and the remaing part of the song will be switching all the scenes....and this things i'm saying should just be simple...you dont need to make it too detailed, just the necessary things.

So just 6 similar characters, 4.12 minutes to be precise. Lets forget about the time to create it for now.

This is the best way i can explain...

It would be far easier for you to do that in front of a green screen instead of 3d

Is it the price that is the problem? cos the video is simple....anyways how much is anyone willing to help me with...a month's job....the best i can go for is 200 dollars....pls i need the video to start on time....lets start the job and not waste time talking about the time.

thats really the best i can do....who is ready.....lets do this people!!!!! Or if the job can be divided into 4 parts so that it wont be stressful for one person....50 dollars for each person.

What are you trying to achieve? Are the characters block like? Are they cartoon-like? Are they photo-realistic? How complex is the animation? Is it just rigid movements? Is the rapping going the be jaws moving without any synchronization to words or will there be synchronization? If its all of the low-medium to medium and high quality, then I doubt anyone is going to do it for $50 given the complexity.

It would be far easier to hire a camera and just film it with actors and props. Much more realistic than what 3D is going to result for the same price. I think project like this done commercially will cost a few thousand dollars at the very least.

Again, especially if you need it by a deadline, look for someone who does this professionally!
Making something in 3D is much, MUCH more complicated then you obviously think.
Therefore, it will not be cheap at all so you might just want to film it and maybe hire someone for some SFX. this should be much cheaper.

One way or another you're going to loose at least 10 times more then you originally intended.
