Slate.

Plan the shoot. Log every take. Slate turns a script into shot lists, storyboards and shoot days, shares the call sheet with a link, and keeps the take log on set, even with no signal.

Free. One account for every Ruytha Studios app.

Slate showing scene 4, INT. KITCHEN – NIGHT, with three shots and their storyboard sketches, beside a phone logging take 3 of shot 4B as circled.
A scene broken into shots with storyboard frames, and the take log on set.

From a script to a wrap in four moves.

  1. Script

    Scenes and shots

    Headings and page counts, then each shot: size, movement, lens, angle, and how long the setup takes.

  2. Sketch

    Storyboard on the shot

    Draw with a finger, a pen or a mouse, in the project's aspect ratio. Or drop in a reference picture.

  3. Plan

    Shoot days that add up

    Pick the scenes and who's called when. Slate warns you if the day runs past wrap before anyone is on set.

  4. Roll

    A take log from your phone

    Slate fills in the next clip name. Circle the good takes and mark the rest NG.

A call sheet the whole crew can open.

Share a shoot day as a link. It opens on any phone with no account and no app: general call, location, parking, the nearest hospital, every scene and shot, and who's called when.

  • No account, no appThe link opens in any phone browser.
  • Always the latestChange the day and share again. The same link shows the update.
  • Private by defaultPhone numbers stay off unless you include them. Stop sharing and the link stops working.

Built for one hand, in a basement with no signal.

  • Works offlineProjects live on your phone first and sync when there's a connection.
  • One tap per takeThe next clip name is filled in, and the shot moves on when you've got it.
  • Know where you standSlate compares the clock with the plan: how far ahead or behind the day is.
  • On your home screenAdd it on iPhone or Android and it opens full screen, like any app.

The notes from set meet the footage.

Open a camera file in Shutter and the takes you logged for it are right beside the notes: which shot it was, whether it was circled, and what you said on the day. Back in Slate, every take shows whether it's been reviewed.

Shooting soon?
