On my June 12 post "How to pitch your script/ funding" I mentioned Ehow.com and the article "How to Fund a Movie:"

There are even more related articles on that site. Here's one:

"How to calculate the cost of filming an independent movie:"

The tips were:

1. Estimate the cost of equipment like a video camera, recorder, sounding recorder, and lighting rigs.

2. Location shooting. You may have to rent or find somewhere to shoot for free.

3. How to pay the actors like extras may work for free.

4. Research the type of film and how many reels will be needed for your camera.

5. The post- production fees like editing software and studio time.
