Kandis,

How are you? You might want to shoot a message to Shane Sooter through his profile.

Hey, I use good ol' excel for most budgets and Movie Magic for more complex. The excel is great because you can really customize because MM often makes a lot of assumptions that aren't needed for me.

Thanks Jeff

I actually assigned it to an Executive Producer because he has the software already.

Hi,

There is a product from Jungle Software called Gorilla that is great. There are stairstep versions from student up to professional. It's available as single copies or in "crew packs" which contain five copies. For about $50, you can buy an add-on that has all of the union rates for every area of the country. I was so impressed with it that I used it in a college course that I taught.

Thank you for the information. I gave in and outsourced the work and he happens to use the same software.

Blessings!
