New Indie Film Tech Tip: Slating

[scottspears]

I was shooting a film(Super-16) project recently and had to train one of our crew members on the slate, so that's where this tip originated. When you break it down, there are lots of little procedures which are all illumnated in this tip. This tip can apply to shooting video too, especially if you shoot using a sperate audio recorder and it's good for general record keeping to help your editor.

Hope you find it helpful.

Yeah, very great! I tend to use mine to find the best takes to capture, my computer is really low on space and for some reason it won't transfer to my external hard-drive so a slate is very useful to me.
