Depth of footing is definitely based on depth of frost line. You want to go deeper than the frost line to prevent frost heave. Here where I am I have no frost and no frost line, so I could place the footing on the ground if I wanted to. A cubic yard (about 90cm X 90cm) of concrete is what folks around here pour for a pier footing.
