Filmmaking and Project Plans - anyone?

[naeem]

Hi;

I'm not sure what post this shoudl go under - but has anyone used a MS project plan during the filmmaking process, covering all three phases, pre, production and post?

I've been using mostly excel spreadsheets, but am thinking of using a more "formal" process by creating a project plan in MS Project - just wondering if there's some templates out there, or if anyone's already done that?

thanks!
