In today’s essay on video production, we give you a budget breakdown and show you how Wes Anderson used creative budgeting to film The Grand Budapest

This video will help you understand how to creatively budget for your next project.

Indie films have pros and cons like anything else. You don’t have to answer to big corporate studios as much, but you have less money as a consequence.

Why do some directors prefer the control over their films more than extra money?

That’s because they have figured out a way to achieve their narrative and visual goals within a limited budget. When you know how to creatively use your money and department heads, you actually improve the energy behind the film while also helping out your producers.

We show you examples of how Wes Anderson did this on The Grand Budapest Hotel. This film ended up having the best box office haul of any independent film.

There are many reasons for this that extend beyond the creative use of the budget, but the quality of the actual film very much relied on creative budgeting. Quality and success go hand in hand with independent features.

If the audience is disappointed with their experience, they won't recommend the film to their family and friends.

Wes Anderson used miniatures, matte paintings, and creative camera rigs to film many of the high budget scenes, and this allowed him to achieve a mega-budget look with an independent price tag.

Your project can gain more production value from creativity than it can from simple gear, because manufacturers have no idea what you need for your specific project, and doing something that no one has ever seen before is more valuable than a hundred cookie-cutter projects with good lighting.
