Hey guys. Is there any free software for film calculation? I have to calculate a nature documentary which is of course without a fixed screenplay. Hence, I find it difficult to calculate as you can't plan exactly. Any expierences, tips?
Ryan McCoy Well, in Germany you can get money from the gov, a film subsidy from the country. To apply for this you have to write down a complete calculation with all costs. I have written calculations, but don't know all possible positions for a film calculation, especially not for a nature documentary in which you don't have actors, but a lot of other costs. So, I thought I ask the producers here for any form or example - or a program.
What do you mean by film calculation? Haven’t heard of that before.

Tony S. No, I don't think so, but thank you for your help.

Oh, a budget.
Try this free Excel spreadsheet:

Just delete the ACCT# that don't apply.
Tony S. - I glommed onto that template, I hope you don't mind! It's one of the best I've come across!

NP, John. It's a public post.
I've used it before. It's an industry standard covering all Union and Non shoots. Enjoy.
Yes, exactly what I needed. Thank you so much! Mille grazie!
Prego.
Good info here! Thanks for sharing!
