For years, film productions have been one of the most effective means of communicating industrial processes in a visible and understandable way. Especially in technical environments where a lot needs to be explained, good films provide orientation, create trust and support sales, HR and brand communication.
But there is one question at the beginning of almost every project:
“What does it cost? ”
And this is where the first problems arise in many companies. Budgets must be planned, approvals take time, votes drag on. Often because there is no clear orientation as to the financial framework of professional production.
It is precisely from this experience that we have the COLADA CALCULATOR developed.
Why a budget tool is necessary for film productions
In industry, transparent processes and comprehensible costs are a matter of course. In film productions, on the other hand, prices often look like a black box: scenes, motifs, technical level, team size, post-production. Somehow everything influences the effort and therefore somehow nothing.
The episode:
- Uncertain budget planning
Without a clear assessment, it is not possible to reserve a reliable budget. - Delayed decisions
Specialist departments need figures before they even know what is realistic. - Time lost during the offer phase
Complex concepts must be created even though no internal approval has yet been received.
Our calculator doesn't solve every detail, but it solves the basic problem: orientation.
What the COLADA CALCULATOR does
In just a few steps, our calculator takes you through the most important parameters of a film production:
- Design effort
- Turning volume
- post-production level
- Focus on price, speed, or quality
Based on this information, the tool calculates a realistic budget range based on over twelve years of experience with industrial and B2B productions.
It does not replace an offer, but provides the basis for companies to make decisions.
Operation: quick and easy
It takes an average of time to use 30 seconds:
- Select focus
- Define design effort
- Set the shooting range
- Set the cutting level
- Maintain budget range
No registration. No data requirement. Just a clear orientation.
The concrete added value
1. Clarity before the first interview
Companies know immediately whether a project is realistic.
2. Better internal coordination
Teams can go into budget rounds with a well-founded range.
3. Realistic expectations
The tool shows how scope and quality standards affect the budget.
4. Faster project starts
Fewer inquiries, fewer loops, faster decisions.
5. Support for teams without a media department
The tool provides security, particularly in industrial environments.
Why we built the tool
Since 2012, we have been producing films for industry, mechanical engineering and SMEs. Often technical, complex and explanatory. Companies want one thing in particular: clarity before they tie up resources. The COLADA CALCULATOR is the answer.
A tool that provides guidance before a project starts. And it shows how we work: transparently, pragmatically and without bullshits.
