DOOD
aka Day Out Of Days
A grid showing every cast member, every day, with their status — on call, hold, work, travel, drop, or pickup — across the full shoot.
Day Out Of Days (DOOD) is the production-office staple that tells you, at a glance, when every actor is needed and what status they're carrying. Each row is one cast member; each column is one shoot day; each cell is a single-letter code. Standard codes are W (work), H (hold — paid but not shooting), SW (start work), WF (work finish), and D (drop). DOODs feed cast deal-memo calculations, hold-day costs, and the producer's daily budget variance. In StoryboardCanvas the DOOD generates automatically from the schedule and the breakdown cast tags — change a shoot day order in /calendar and the DOOD recomputes in real time.

Every dood we generate stays linked to the rest of the project — change a scene heading and the dood updates automatically. No re-import. No copy-paste. One project file from script to wrap.
