Film Calculation Nature Documentary

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

What do you mean by film calculation? Haven’t heard of that before.

Elisabeth Meier

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.

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!

Tony S.

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!

Tony S.

Prego.
