Held for overruns1h 35m5:45p
25 and 26 moved to Day 2 (Andrew, Sept 19, on the day — running behind). This is their 95 minutes, held in front of 27 rather than given away: 27 cannot move earlier, it needs the 7:20 PM dusk. If the day is back on time by 5:45 PM, pick up whatever else you can here

2h 55m7:20p
Starts 7:20 PM (Andrew, Sept 18 evening), 9 minutes BEFORE the 7:29 sunset — the first half-hour is real light going to dusk, then full dark, which is the point. No blackout (Andrew OK'd Sept 17). Keeps its 2h 55m, so the day ENDS 10:15 PM, 25 minutes earlier than before. Becca has the TV room until 7:20. Continuity HMU — 26 (the tackle) now shoots TOMORROW but comes BEFORE this in the story. Photograph the dirt and the restraints on Ruthie before and during this scene; tomorrow matches back to those stills

From Day 4 (v12)

From Day 1 (v12)
Moved from Day 1 (Andrew, Sept 19, on the day). Two setups on the shot list — the cabinet insert into a dolly move to profile, and the wide where Ruthie runs. She runs out of the kitchen here and across the field in 26, so these two stay together

Key props restraints (hands still tied from 22)
50m6:30p
From Day 1 (v12)
Moved from Day 1, and 6:30 PM is held exactly where it was. 50 minutes, down from 1h15. Two setups on the shot list, so 25 min a setup, and the tackle rehearsal is inside this block. Continuity 27 shot the night before, so the dirt and the restraints match BACK to the stills HMU took on Day 1 — this scene is what makes her dirty, and the audience already saw the result

25m9:50a
Martha alone in the bushes, 25 min — moved AHEAD of 5 (Andrew, Sept 18 evening) so the troupe scene does not start until 10:15.

Shot straight after 12 while the truck is still here. WILD LINES: Rod records Lloyd's sc 16 megaphone line, and anything else wild, during the turnaround at the end of this block (Andrew, Sept 18 evening) — it is why Lloyd is not held until 6:25 PM.

CURRENT schedule: this link always shows the newest version. Every change gets its own number — this is v30.

20 minutes to first shot, and the dining room lands on Day 4

Draft v12 plus your Sept 17 evening notes. Every day that opens on a scene now has 20 minutes between crew call and the first shot, and every time on the board is the moment you move on from the previous scene. 19 moves to Day 1, 28 and 30 to Day 4 with 34, 37 to Day 4 behind 35, 43 to Day 6 with 40. Day 3 eats after the company move. Each scene shows a short synopsis, any archival footage it needs, and the page it starts on (WOT_9.16). The archival list by shoot day is a separate live page: WOT Archival Footage by Shoot Day.

Continuity notes

What changed from v12

  • 20 minutes between call and the first shot, every day that opens on a scene (Days 1–4 and 7–10). Days 5 and 6 open on rig blocks, so their first shot was already well after call. Every time on the board is when you move on from the previous scene.
  • Day 1 opens outside, for Becca. 19 at 11:45, the Ruthie car chunk, Martha's car dialogue, then 21 — the crew is not inside the house until the door break at 2:05 PM, and not in the hallway until 3:05. The bathroom and the kitchen are off the day entirely, so the cow wallpaper gets another full day. Meal 5:00, tackle still 6:30, 27 at 7:45, wrap 10:40 PM — 11h 15m with 45 minutes of slack.
  • Day 2 takes 24 and 25 and gives up the car package. Its call moves to 10:40 AM, exactly twelve hours after Day 1 wraps, which is what buys those two rooms their daylight: 24 runs 4:45–6:10 PM and 25 finishes 7:30, two minutes past sunset. Everything else holds — 48 before the meal in the green shirt, Jenny's change during the meal, 31 at 8:00 PM, wrap 10:25 PM. 11h 45m, the longest day after Day 4.
  • Day 3: after 7, all cult wrap except Lloyd, Howard and Jim; after 12, Lloyd and Jim wrap and only Howard’s truck comes to the motel — Lloyd’s megaphone line in 16 is off camera (Sept 18). The Park → Motel move is 30 minutes and dinner is after it, near the motel — the meal lands exactly 6 hours after call and 17 ends 9:10 PM, 20 minutes inside the motel window.
  • Day 4: meal in the middle (6:10 PM; day midpoint 6:27). 28 and 30 come in from Day 6, so 28, 30 and 34 shoot back to back on the one dining-room setup and nothing has to match across the days off. 37 comes in from Day 7 to sit right behind 35, so the nosebleed is live instead of matched. Call moves 20 minutes earlier to 12:25 PM to keep 50 at dusk. 12h 05m from call to wrap — five minutes over, your call to accept.
  • Day 5: the morning VO and 3D-scan session moves to 11:00 AM–1:00 PM, so Grace gets 10h 30m off after Day 4’s 12:30 AM wrap and still clears her 3:30 PM hard out.
  • Day 6: Jenny is hosed down before 39 (15 min) and dried off after it (15 min). 43 comes in from Day 7 to sit with 40. With 28 and 30 gone the day is 9h 05m, its lightest yet.
  • Day 7: loses 37 and 43, opens on 51 and runs 10h 25m. The meal moves behind 58 to 3:50 PM, against a 4:12 PM day midpoint.

Still open

  • Day 4 runs 12h 05m from the 12:25 PM call to a 12:30 AM wrap. Five minutes over your own rule; you said to live with it. Trimming 37 to 40 minutes, or the meal to 55, brings it back under.
  • Day 3 dinner: which restaurant near the McKinney Inn, and does the Park → Motel drive really fit in 30 minutes? Both need a real answer before the call sheet.
  • Scene 29 stayed on Day 6 when 28 and 30 left, because you asked for 28, 30 and 34 in a row. It can follow them to Day 4 if you’d rather keep the three dining-room scenes and the doc montage together.
  • Day 5 morning: Rod (sound) is on set all of week 1, so: does Rod record Grace’s VO, on what, and what is his call for the 11:00 AM session; who does the 3D scans, and with what; and which AirBnB.
  • Mary + Ryan: real minutes for the pieces of 8 and 10 (still guessed). After Thu/Fri: tell me which car shots you got.

Still true
