Shin Hats tracks video statistics in several categories, so here's the averages from a sample of 45 (of 62 total, but demos don't count, and a few others slipped through the cracks):
the average SH video is about 4:10 long;
incorporates 85 cuts;
and took 37 hours from start of initial capture to completion of final full-quality build.
ranges:
time from 1:00 to 9:04;
cuts from 19 to 177;
and production time from 9 to 157 hours.
average production pace:
3.32 videos per month, for a rounded pace of 39 VPY. (Don't try this at home.)
These statistics should not be taken as relevant for anyone else, as SH production is done in MPEG2 using a nonstandard editor, and real-time drafted rather than storyboarded, with a severely and intentionally limited selection of effects, most of which do not require significant processing time.
