Script & Concept
The stone you throw in — enter your project title, total budget, format (feature, short, documentary, commercial, etc.), genre, runtime, shooting days, and contingency percentage. Everything downstream flows from here.
Production planning shouldn't require a studio budget
The Film Production Pond is the answer
Call sheets, budgets, schedules, locations, cast, crew. Enterprise production software costs thousands. Indie productions deserve professional tools. Professional production planning at indie prices. Budget tracking, scheduling, and logistics in a single file.
The Film Production Pond is a single-file pond with 13 tools that runs entirely in your browser. The Film Production Pond is a self-contained, browser-based production analysis tool delivered as a single HTML file. It models an entire film production lifecycle across eleven interconnected tabs: Script & Concept, Budget Breakdown, Shooting Schedule, Locations & Permits, Crew & Talent, Equipment, Post-Production, Cash Flow, Distribution & ROI, Dashboard, and Decision Log. Change your total budget and watch it ripple — crew rates, equipment costs, location spend, and post-production scope all recalculate. The Oracle runs sensitivity analysis across six production levers to show which adjustments have the biggest financial impact. Your budget projections, crew rates, and distribution models never leave your machine.

Shooting Schedule
Set pre-production weeks, shooting days, and post-production weeks. Add named phases with day counts and types. Total shoot hours calculate from hours-per-day settings.
Locations & Permits
Track each shooting location with daily fees, permit costs, travel expenses, and status. Location costs feed directly into Cash Flow and trigger Dashboard warnings when exceeding 15% of budget.
