The worksheet · alpha

Mark the calendar once, read it every way

Mark where each location shoots, preps and wraps. Flip the switch and the same sheet reads day by day. It is the DOOD, because it is the same sheet.

AI tagging

Photos that describe themselves, with a score

Style, environment, features. Strike the wrong ones. The counter is real: reads are the one thing on a plan that is metered.

What a read costs

AI image analysis37 of 100 reads used this month

One read costs one photo. Three or four per location are usually enough to make it searchable.

Press Read this photo. Strike anything it got wrong. The counter is real.

Projects

Folders that read like the breakdown

Script locations with their options numbered 1A, 1B underneath. Binoculars for the scout list, a star for the final, a title in the show's own face.
