I'm sorry, isn't this just a histogram of all the posters for that year? Am I missing something (e.g. a page I didn't see)?
It doesn't take that long to make a histogram of a "movie posters year X" Google image search...

No, you're right.
But from your comment "it doesn't take that long.." its clear to me we're thinking about this in two different ways.
You're saying, "Here's how long it would take me..." hourly * estimate.
I'm saying, "Here's how to add more business value..." business_value * my_cut_to_decimal
If you can, perhaps by not even programming, make business_value a large enough number then (business_value * my_cut_to_decimal) > (hourly * estimate).
I'd go one step further and argue that the higher price is a win for both parties. You get paid more, and the company has just discovered a slot that they can slide money into and get more money back out off.
There are infinite ways you could add a ton of value to this project that would be worth more than $5k. Automating the data retrieval and plugging it into mechanical turk for verification, being able to critique or comment on the deeper meaning of the change in colors. Or even online marketing to get the backlinks for a business could potentially be worth $10k.
