You're asking for more effects shots in ONE episode than Stargate uses in a whole season.
Will we be expected to edit and composite or does that go to another facility?
Do you have storyboards? Will you be expecting animatics? Who's in charge of the new designs of all those extra ships, ore-diggers, etc.?
For a small shop like mine, 100 Gs will probably get you the modeling work done. What's your budget for the actual shots? Go to a shop like The Orphanage in LA and you'll be dropping upwards of half mil. Just for the models.
You're talking a laundry-list 4 planets, 15 space craft, and 6 composite models plus. Break that down and you've got an average cost of 4Gs per model. That's not alot in the grand scheme. But then when they're done, they are re-usable assets in your library.
We'd need a minimum of 14 months pre-production time to scratch all of them up.
We'll require location information for the static composite models (locations). Your shots for composite will have to go first on your shoot schedule. Normally they would be assigned to second unit.
You've also got ALOT of extended shots planned that I know won't survive edit. How many are you planning as lock-off shots?
Oh, and if you want Hi Def, quadruple your budget. For everything. That might cover it.
