I am a newly retired person (40 years old). I always loved animation and have some experience in 3D modelling (using 3Ds max). Now after retirement I want to start my own freelance animated video production business. However I have few questions

Question 1: Since I do not want to get a huge team should I stick with 3D animation or switch to 2D. Is 2D managable for small team of two?

Question 2: Is it possible for 1 or 2 men team to develop 2D anmations at their own since I do not want to start a large company just me and may be one more person. I had plans to have a 3D animation company but 3D animation is a very long process and takes lot of time so I have settled for 2D. Is making a 1 or 2 minute 2D aniamtion for a single person / month possible (please assume what ever you have to to answer this)

Question 3: My objecctive is making 500-1000$ / month since I have my pension how long it will take me to reach this goal in freelance business if i work full time.

I understand that all the above questions are very subjective and need lot and lot of other information but please assume what all you have to OR just give your own experience. My style in 2D animation I assume will be cartoon / series creation promotional vidoes.

I may be way off in my assumption, but it would seem like someone going into animation could also profit by checking out the video game development SE. This question seems perfectly on topic here, but you might be able to pick up some tips over there as well. gamedev.stackexchange.com – WLPhoenix Oct 1 '12 at 1:16
Please take a look at this particular section of the faq. What you're asking, while a very interesting question, may not actually fit the format of this site. – JoshP♦ Oct 5 '12 at 13:42
