Diary · see it in action
Diary
Production diary, DPRs, BTS gallery. The crew log that organises itself.
Your production's live journal. Eleven view modes covering daily progress log, scene completion, BTS uploads, Daily Production Reports, problem log, travel, meals, wrap notes — the paper trail every production needs when something goes sideways. Plus the Live Continuity Tablet (script supervisor + camera assistant + sound mixer share one live record) and the Costume + Makeup Continuity capture (a quick photo at the top of every take auto-tags scene + actor for instant recall next time the scene shoots).
Replaces: DPR apps + a shared Google Doc that always rots
The numbers
Diary by the figures.
Every figure below is live in the product today — counted from the running code, not the marketing deck.
Diary · Shoot Overview
Every shoot day's status, scenes wrapped and pages shot at a glance.
Each day's scenes, pages and crew counts at a glance — and when the script supervisor ticks a scene wrapped, the producer's dashboard updates itself.

The pipeline
Where Diary sits in the production flow.
The on-set journal that organises itself. Diary sits at the end of every shoot day, reading from the call sheet (planned), the shoot app (actual gear used), and the cast app (attendance) — and produces the DPR + costume + makeup + continuity records the production needs when something goes sideways.

Diary · Issues Log
On-set issues logged with severity, department and resolution.
Problems logged where they happen, with severity and the department they hit — safety incidents route to the producer automatically, building the audit trail insurers ask for.

Diary · BTS Media
Behind-the-scenes photos filed against the day they were shot.
BTS photos land against the day they were taken and flow straight into the EPK and wrap package — marketing assets that organise themselves while you shoot.

Frequently asked
Common questions about Diary.
Does the diary auto-build the Daily Production Report?
Yes. The DPR PDF — pages shot, scenes completed, runtime, cast attendance, weather, problems — auto-builds at end of day from the diary's structured entries. Formatted to the spec every insurer + bond company expects.
What's the Live Continuity Tablet?
A shared live record where the script supervisor, 1st AC, and sound mixer write to the same diary entry simultaneously on set. Every camera roll, every scene number, every audio note logged in real time — no end-of-day reconciliation.
Can costume + makeup continuity be captured with photos?
Yes — a quick photo at the top of every take auto-tags scene + actor. Next time the scene shoots, the system surfaces the prior continuity photo instantly. Continuity stops being a clipboard.
How does the diary feed the producer's morning brief?
Yesterday's diary entry — pages shot, runtime, cast attendance, problem log — feeds the producer's OT predictor + hot-cost forecast + EFC roll-up. The EP scans the morning brief at 6am, anchored in yesterday's actuals.
