Okay, let’s calculate this. Nathaniel has a diverse skill set that includes visual effects, character animation, and game development. His experience with Unity3d and Maya suggests he has a strong foundation in 3D modeling and animation. However, his skills in video editing and iOS development are less common in this field. Considering his skills and the fact that he’s based in Seattle, a major tech hub, I’m estimating his hourly rate to be around $75. This is slightly below the national average for multimedia artists and developers, but takes into account his relatively niche skill set and location.
