Slate, Clapper, Sticks, Board, Marker - All terms used to describe the process of scene designation and sound syncing each time the camera rolls. In this online exhibit, our members capture the ubiquitous slate during the production of feature films around the world.

Features 115 images taken on film sets by 25 of our members. The photographs provide glimpses of how numerous and essential, "below-the-line" crafts people create movie magic during long days and nights of shooting. Archival prints originally on display at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills CA., the exhibit is presented here for online viewing.
