Hello!

I am currently in post-production for a 90-min. documentary shot entirely in digital (PD150). And we are running out of money.
So, I am creating a budget for various grant applications and have hit a wall. I have estimates for all these (in parenthesis), but I am not sure if they are accurate... Can anyone please tell me the standards for:

Sound editor - salary ($1300/week)
Sound Mix ($3000)
On-line color correction ($5000)
Dubbing costs ($2000)
Graphics/title ($3000)
Various deck rentals ($5000)

Am I way off?

Thanks,

B

Best thing you could do is call the best post houses in town and get their prices, then call the lower level places and see if they can beat the price, but put thoes prices in your back pocket go out and try to raise the high side. For some reason whether you are at a Big time Post House or a cheaper one you always need or could use a little more money.

Hope that helps.

Peace,
