📊 Universal Commercial Production Budget
A clean, modular spreadsheet system for real-world commercial production.
This isn’t an agency-facing estimate or a hidden PDF. It’s a fully editable Excel workbook designed for actual working producers — with auto-calculating categories, estimated vs. actuals, and department-by-department cost breakdowns.
Built by Studio Lellow and used on live commercial shoots, this spreadsheet gives you a transparent, flexible tool to quote and track production costs at scale. With dedicated sheets for Above the Line, Production, Camera, Talent, Art, Post, and Insurance, the template links all costs back to a single master summary — making it perfect for both client transparency and internal production management.
📦 What’s Inside
8-tab Excel file with auto-summing master page
Linked departments: Above the Line, Production, Camera, Art, Talent, Post, Insurance
Columns for quantity, unit cost, actuals, and notes
Includes pre-filled example lines + README
🎯 Who It’s For
Producers, freelance directors, boutique production companies, and creatives who want to quote, plan, and wrap commercial projects with precision.
