Day-Out-Of-Days (DOOD)
Day-Out-Of-Days (DOOD)
The DOOD tab shows a matrix of which elements (cast, crew, extras) are needed on each shoot day. It’s an essential scheduling document used by production coordinators and assistant directors.
The DOOD Matrix
The matrix is displayed as a scrollable table:
- Rows: One per element (cast member, crew member, etc.).
- Columns: One per shoot day.
- Cells: Color-coded status codes.
Status Codes
| Code | Meaning | Color |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Start Work (first day on payroll) | Dark green |
| W | Work | Green |
| WF | Work / Finish (last day on payroll) | Light green |
| SWF | Start / Work / Finish (single-day booking) | Darkest green |
| WD | Work + Drop (working but dropped from payroll after) | Light green |
| H | Hold (on payroll but not shooting) | Amber |
| T | Travel | Blue |
| R | Rehearsal | Purple |
| F | Fitting | Pink |
| D | Drop (off payroll) | Transparent |
Empty cells mean the element is not scheduled for that day.
Reading the DOOD
The header row shows shoot day numbers. The left column shows element names. Scroll horizontally to see all days and vertically to see all elements.
The header also shows the total element count and shoot day count.
Data Source
The DOOD is generated from the active scenario’s schedule. It cross-references:
- Which scenes are assigned to which shoot days (from strips)
- Which elements are tagged in each scene (from breakdowns)
This means your DOOD is only as accurate as your schedule and breakdowns. Make sure both are up to date before relying on the DOOD.
Exporting
DOOD exports are available as PDF from the Crew section’s Availability tab. See DOOD export for export options (Cast, Crew, Extras, Combined).
Tips
- The DOOD updates automatically when you change the schedule — no need to regenerate it.
- Use the DOOD to spot scheduling gaps (e.g., a cast member on hold for many days between work days).
- If an element appears on a day you didn’t expect, check the breakdown for that scene to verify the tagging.
