A budgeting spreadsheet for film, tv and commercial productions. I use this budget for planning and budgeting all my film and client projects. I have found this spreadsheet to help me achieve highly accurate budgets as long as you fully vet all your potential expenses.
This is the budgeting tool that I use for all my tv, film and commercial projects. If a client calls me for a quote I use this to get an accurate estimate of the cost to produce the project. After using multiple different budgeting programs and templates I have made adjustments to fit my workflow so that it is the most detailed, easy to read and accurate for estimating the costs involved in producing a project.
I often time will include the top sheet from this budget in my proposals/estimates to help a potential client understand where the costs are going and that every dollar has been accounted for.
