Really need to get rid of this stuff. I will offer discounts on any interest.

the scene is often on the slate too so the editor generally does know what scene it is. so scene 1 slate 5 for example would be the same as scene 1e. a quick look in the scriptys folder and the reference is there too. i think its easier as a reference because its one reference number. with the scene 1a,b,c method you have to relate the slate to the shot list and the which part in the scene it is, it means every time you have a new set up the 2nd has to have a conversation about what the next scene is etc. our way means the slates go sequentially and the scene is usually the same for a day and you just hand over the camera info and the scripty has the slate number and the scene reference in her notes. i think if people are relying on the information on the slate to help them work out what the shot is then its all gone backwards. in some of the posts above it was highlighted the problems of the american way - script rewrites etc. and you end up with scene 21a/e/f and ive seen one shot cover 3 shots in the script and you get the same 21a/e/f problem, certainly confusing in the edit. or what if you decide to split one shot into 2? would it go to scene 1aa? a slate and take number is a unique reference to that take and that take alone, with direct reference to all the information in the scriptys notes. it certainly keeps things simple for me, with more priorities than working out all the alphanumeric tangents that will be going on the board.

in america they slate with scene numbers as opposed to slate numbers. so they have scene 1 for example and to differentiate between which part of the scene it is they use a letter. here we use slate numbers which go up sequentially regardless of what scene it is. sometimes a scene number isnt on the board as the script supervisor has the reference in the notes. its just a different method no real reason for the difference i dont think, personally i think our one makes more sense, its alot easier (for my job) and it keeps things simple. although if you work on an american film here you would need to do it their way for their editors.

If anyone does have any concerns over purchasing, I am quite happy to list the item(s) that you would like on ebay and then you can have the safety of buying through them. Just contact me and let me know. James

brilliant - loved the ninja slate, the reveal and the tippytoe. always makes me laugh when i see a clapper loader credited on a digital production though. loading batteries?

I Have a 400ft roll of Kodak vision 320T 35mm for sale. Was given it but since have moved on from the industry so have no need for it now. Its the original Kodak Vision range so is probably about 10 years old but im sure it will still expose fine, but id suggest any indie shooters, students or anyone who wants to experiment with 35mm for the first time. Im in the UK but will ship to worldwide if needed. Price starts at £25 plus p+p. Vision 2 stock is still worth about £150.
