We're so excited for our sister organization Camera Rentals NYC to launch their tool via CineD , one of the top film industry publications out there.

For everyone in the business, if you've experienced these kind of mental back-of-a-napkin math problems of projecting how many batteries and of what kind you'll need - this tool helps you calculate power consumption and minimum voltage needs.

Feedback is always welcome; we're looking to improve the tool and are beyond excited we could launch it on !

Happy Holidays!

To the producers out there - we hope you can take a much-needed work-life-balance rest and start 2025 fresh and recharged! But what are holidays without gifts? We've got two for you. 🎁

The last 2 years have been tough on the industry, and ways to stretch budgets are at top of mind - like utilizing tax credits wherever possible, even on smaller films and shows. We service-produced a narrative feature out in New Jersey earlier this year, and ran the entire tax credit (ex*****on, liaising with financing & auditors etc.) for our creative & equity producing partners.

New Jersey has a transferable tax credit of up to 39% - that's top 3 in the US (next to Louisiana and New Mexico), is right next door to NYC and the law is locked in until at least 2028. If you've been considering NJ for a future production, here are 2 really useful free tools hot off the press for you.

[ And if you're looking for local producing expertise or a reliable production services partner to pull it all off without a hitch, you'll know where to find us! ]

#1: All-In Tax Credit Calculator for NJ
Getting the numbers right for your financing pie chart is the first step in this whole process. There are of course lots of nuances, and it takes hours of research to understand the credit before you can estimate its financial impact on your equity needs.

We just saved you that time - go ahead and try out our brand-new interactive NJ tax credit estimator tool. It's the only one of its kind (others don't take the Jersey nuances into account). You can even export your results to PDF or print: https://www.prodigium-pictures.com/new-jersey-film-tax-credit-calculator-interactive-estimating-tool

#2: Mapping Tool for the NJ Tax Credit Zones
A big part of the credit depends on where you shoot in New Jersey.. If you end up moving around a bunch, using a ruler on Google Maps gets cumbersome.

So type in an auto-complete address and it sets a pin on a big map, telling you if it qualifies for a 30% or 35% base in relation to the 30 mile zone radius. Rinse and repeat for multiple locations, all on one map, with our NJ Tax Credit Mapping Tool. And again, easily export-able for your other stakeholders, shaving valuable hours off of location planning or last-minute tasks: https://www.prodigium-pictures.com/new-jersey-film-tax-credit-interactive-30-mile-zone-map
