[comp.graphics] Need to find out how long 3D modeling and animation takes

Hello!

I am doing a study to find out how much preparatory work goes into
producing computer generated advertising.

I am concerned with two types:  3D renderings, and drawn animation.

I have no idea what a "typical" ad might include, but if people out there
are involved in producing ads, I would appreciate a response that
includes a brief description of what was modeled, how long the modeling
took, how long the rendering took, your estimation of the scene's 
complexity (from 1 to 100), and so on.

If you are invloved in producing human-drawn animation, I would like
to know about how long it takes to draw each frame, how many frames per
second are shown, a estimation on the scene complexity (from 1 to 100),
and so on.

Also, are there any books that discuss such things?

Any help is *greatly* appreciated.
