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

  • BTS photo and video uploads with scene linking + lightbox
  • PDF and DPR export for production insurance and post

  • Dolly summarises each day into a shareable crew recap
  • Per-day unit code — A unit, B unit, splinter, aerial, underwater, stunt — the DPR header tags every entry
  • Per-day production phase — principal, second-unit, pickup, reshoot, post-VFX — tax-credit-ready paper trail
  • Safety-incident routing — the moment one is logged, the producer + team admins get notified, the audit log captures it, the bond company's chain-of-custody record stays clean

  • Permit-expiry warnings — every linked location's permit status is read at GET time; expired or expiring permits surface on the entry
  • IATSE turnaround check — prev-day wrap to next-day call computed automatically; anything under the 10-hour minimum flagged on the DPR

The numbers

Diary by the figures.

Every figure below is live in the product today — counted from the running code, not the marketing deck.

11view modes

The whole shoot day, every angle.

Daily progress log, scene completion, BTS upload gallery, Daily Production Reports, problem log, travel, meals, wrap notes, continuity capture, costume + makeup logs — 11 first-class view modes over the same underlying day.

LIVEcontinuity tablet

1st AC + script supervisor + sound.

The Live Continuity Tablet — script supervisor, 1st AC, and sound mixer share one live record on set. Every camera roll number, every scene number, every audio note logged in real time.

AUTOcostume capture

A photo a take.

Quick photo at the top of every take auto-tags scene + actor for instant recall next time the scene shoots. Continuity stops being a clipboard.

DPR+ PDF

Daily Production Report.

End-of-day DPR PDF — pages, scenes completed, runtime, cast attendance (Exhibit G), weather, problems — formatted to the spec every insurer + bond company expects.

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.

DollyAI™ in this app

3 AI commands wired into Diary.

Every command shows its credit cost before you commit. Every response is anchored in your real project — not a generic prompt.

Crew recap

2 cr

Dolly summarises each day into a 200-word crew recap — what shot, what wrapped, what's tomorrow. Shareable WhatsApp / email format.

Problem log review

2 cr

Reads the day's problem log and surfaces patterns — 'this is the 3rd time the camera battery died on the night exterior'.

DPR narrative

3 cr

Cover paragraph for the DPR PDF, in plain English, formatted for the bond company's morning read.

Shares one project file

Diary reads and writes to the same synchronized project as every other app in the suite. Change one thing upstream and every dependent surface picks it up automatically.

Powered by DollyAI™

Dolly reads everything Diary needs to know about your project before you even ask. She suggests, you approve — never the other way around.

Never-lose-saves

Every change is autosaved, versioned, and restorable. Roll back Diary to any point without losing downstream work.

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.
