A unique collaboration not only by Filmsticks and Tentacle Sync but also the assistance of multiple 2nd and 1st ACs in the USA and the UK, with the expertise of Forty One Thirty assisting with the design, our combined effort has been translated into the finished product by Peter Hoare, a British Engineer who has worked with top UK brands to create products used on production set. This Digital Timecode Slate Kit is made with the industry pros in mind but it’s perfect for everyone. It brings filmmakers a new level of accuracy & efficiency! With its automated timecode system, it not only simplifies production but also cuts down on human error. That means you'll get consistent results across all areas—camera, sound, & post-production.

Graded Slate Boards(for daily use), where professional-grade quality meets affordability.  We sometimes use slates for demonstrations, trade shows and other marketing activities.  We also have stock created giving rise to graded stock (that we pull from production acceptance).  Ideal as a back up board for ACs, for budget-conscious filmmakers, production crews and film students, these boards are manufactured to high standards but are available at a significant discount due to minor use or flaws. Though these boards may have slight imperfections, they do not affect the writing surface's usability. That makes them a cost-effective choice for those who need reliable equipment without the premium price tag.  Take advantage of the price tag should we offer limited stock of these graded slates.

In filmmaking and video production recording visuals and audio separately ensures higher quality recordings. However, as many budding filmmakers know, it’s incredibly tricky to synchronize separate picture and sound recordings. Well, there’s an elegant and simple solution which dates back to the beginning of Hollywood’s Golden age in the 1920’s. It is, of course, the iconic Clapperboard!
