Invoice template for filmmakers and videographers
From pre-production to the final grade: an invoice that lists the whole job clearly, made in your browser in a couple of minutes.
What to put on a video production invoice
- Your details and your client’s: company name, address, tax ID.
- Invoice number, issue date and due date.
- Pre-production: concept, script, location scouting, planning.
- Production: shoot days for direction, DOP and crew, with day rates.
- Equipment: camera package, lenses, lighting and sound, per day.
- Post-production: edit, colour grade, sound mix, motion graphics, deliverables.
- Revisions included, expenses you pass on, tax, total and payment details.
Tips for production invoices
- Quote first and keep the same lines on the invoice: no surprises for the client.
- Use day rates and quantities (2 shoot days × rate) so the maths is easy to check.
- Write how many rounds of revisions are included; extra rounds go on a new line.
- On long projects, invoice in stages: pre-production, shoot and delivery.
