If your serious about filmmaking, take it from a pro... Filmspeed is a program made by a internationally acclaimed film maker with
contribution from other acclaimed film makers.
...head over to "jungle software" (do a Sherlock search if need
be) to purchase Gorilla film budget software...
This seems as if the critic is from Jungle Software. He seems to be wanting
to advertise a different product instead of reviewing FilmSpeed. I checked out
Gorilla Film Budgeting Software and found it average compared to FilmSpeed,
particularly in that it does not allow budgeting in simultaneous international
currencies that can be adjusted according to the exchange rates.
...Best of all, it is three hundred (plus) cheaper than moviemagic ...
Gorilla Film Budgeting software may be cheaper than moviemagic by $300 dollars
but shouldn't you be comparing it to FilmSpeed. FilmSpeed is cheaper than the
Gorilla Film Budgeting by $89 dollars in the student edition, $189 dollars in
the standard edition and $289 dollars in the professional version. FilmSpeed
is $110USD which is the cheapest but offers the most features of them all, particularly
relevant for international co-productions.
...runs on native Mac OS X unlike Filmspeed which requires you have Excell....
Filmspeed may run in Excel but Excel is one of the most stable programs out
there. Microsoft Office has been around a long time and has improved their product
over the years. I have yet to find a problem with Office.
Also the critic fails to understand that the value of a piece of software is
in its design, function and accessibility, not in the language it is written
in. I would much rather prefer a good functional piece of software written in
Visual Basic in Excel ( one of the most powerful programming languages around)
than thinking that just because a program is stand-alone it somehow has more
value.
If you have read all that, you will see that Gorilla Film Budgeting may have
a bigger name and has been around longer. But Filmspeed is a new program, with
a fresh start making it the first proper film budgeting system specifically
designed for international co-productions.
