Slating has never been easier!

Now a “Simple” Solution to an age old problem.


How many times have you been frustrated in post-production trying to find the proper spelling or title of someone you interviewed because you didn’t document it on site? Using the Interview slate will allow you or an editor to easily see and verify the information in post-production saving you valuable time and money.
Successful professionals know that slating is an essential production element for scene identification, production notes, or matching shots to a script in post-production. Making it a habit to slate and log your shots while shooting will save you hours in the edit suite.
The EasySLATE system is the fastest, easiest, and most convenient way to incorporate slating into your production workflow.
EasySLATE comes complete with three slates designed to meet all of your shooting needs and includes a handy back focus chart.

1. EasySLATE makes it easy and convenient to slate wherever you shoot.
2. EasySLATE comes complete with a custom heavy duty compact carrying case for easy storage.
3. EasySLATE is durable, lightweight, and can be written on with dry erase markers.

EasySLATE consists of two 6” X 9” dry erase slate style templates that can be easily written on with dry erase markers.

The surface of EasySLATE is made with state of the art polymers that can be wiped clean with the eraser end of the dry erase markers included, or with a soft cloth. Regular maintenance cleaning is quick and easy with alcohol swabs also included in the starter kit.

The EasySlate system comes packaged in a custom

It only makes sense that documenting crucial information during production with a slate, and then recording it to film or tape, will make your footage more useful and easier to find in post-production. The absence of slating can make it very difficult to locate shots, and in some cases render your footage useless. Don’t let this happen to your work; slate while you are shooting.

Is slating worth it? It's all too easy to say, "I'll remember it later" in the midst of a hasty shoot, but all too often you forget. For most projects there are usually too many shots to keep organized in your head. Slating allows you or someone else using your footage to easily find and identify takes or interviews.

EasySLATE system includes 3 Slates and a Back Focus Chart:

Side 1: Interview Slate

This Slate was designed for slating interviews, and has fields for documenting the most commonly needed information for post-production or future reference.

Don’t waste your time in post-production looking for proper spellings and titles of interviewees. Slate it on-site and confidently move on knowing that it can be recalled in post production as easily as the interview you are shooting.

Side 2: Notes

Production situations vary, and so can the information needed for slating. That’s why we have included a large notes section for recording information specific to your shooting situation.

This section is a useful area for documenting shooting conditions, type of camera used, FPS, picture profiles, changes made to default styles, “best take” indications, messages to the editor, and shooter contact information. It’s up to you how this is used.

Side 1: Production / Independent Slates:

Modeled after traditional slates, this slate has fields useful for shooting scripted scenes. Great for Independent films, or “run & gun” style documentary shooting when budget counts and in the field ease of use is a must.

Don’t sacrifice your workflow, just because you are in a hurry. A few extra minutes in the field slating can save you hours in the edit.

Side 2: Back Focus Chart:

Ensuring critical back focus is crucial for today’s high definition cameras. This easy to use Back Focus Chart is a valuable tool that will help you set your camera’s back focus
