Okay, let’s tackle this. So Adrian has 58 years of experience, which is extremely rare. That’s like having a Ph.D. in animation. His skills in Maya and character animation are also highly sought after. However, his experience is in a very niche field (Rubber Ducky Designer), which might limit his earning potential. Considering his age and the fact that he’s been working for the same company for 58 years, his rate might be on the lower side. I’d estimate around $75 per hour, which is more in line with entry-level animation positions. Maybe he’s charging less because he’s passionate about his work or wants to stay under the radar. Still, it’s impressive that he’s been able to maintain a steady career for so long.
