Deliverables
Deliverables are the concrete items a production contractually hands over at the end — nothing more, nothing less.
What this is about
A film is never just one file. Clients expect masters in several aspect ratios, cutdowns for social, clean versions without text, subtitle files, thumbnails, sometimes raw footage. Each of those is a deliverable with its own effort, and each unlisted one surfaces late as a favor request. The deliverables list therefore belongs in the quote with format, length, version count and file specification — it is the difference between a defined handover and an open-ended one.
A term only helps when everyone on set means the same thing by it — so what follows is how it is used, not a dictionary definition.
What runs differently here
Where this differs from the general case:
- Every aspect ratio, language version and cutdown is its own deliverable with its own effort
- Raw footage is a deliverable too — decide and price whether it is included
- A named file spec per deliverable prevents the second delivery round
With TillyGen
TillyGen tracks deliverables from the brief onward, so every version and format is planned and priced before the shoot instead of discovered after it.
Change one constraint and the consequences travel through the whole plan: affected shots are flagged, the call sheet is regenerated, and nobody keeps working from yesterday's version.
Frequently asked
Does raw footage count as a deliverable?
Only if the contract says so. Handing over raw material touches usage rights and future editing control, so treat it as a separately priced decision, not a courtesy.
How long does it take to get started with TillyGen?
A first project takes under an hour to set up. There is no configuration phase in which templates and fields have to be defined before the tool produces anything.
Can the results be exported?
Yes — as PDF for the crew, CSV for downstream systems and through the API for anything automated. The plan stays the source; the exports are views of it.
