Poser can export to most everything, including DIVX which is becoming the mp3 of movies (technically, its actually mp4). do some reading up on codecs and what Poser is capable of. are you looking for streaming video, or something forpeople to download. Gotta factor those things in, and take a look around. As for charging, I don't think frame or hourly really would do. You'll have to give a rate before starting the job, and then you really can't change the rate afterwards (screwing with clients heads are not good!). Before starting the job, do your best to try and calculate how much time and effort you'll be putting into this, and figure out your own going rate. Also, talk to the client on what his budget is and what he's willing to spend. Also, when you first mention how much you'll be charging, go for 10-20% more than you figured, that way if there's any price haggling, you'll at the very least get the minimum rate you want.
