Grat's Film Slate/Clapboard Hack 3 + Redeem Codes

Wanted to title the slate...the keyboard comes up and then you can’t see what you are typing. Thoughtless. Lucky you got one star...deleting and getting a different slate...you can thank me for the $2.99!

I needed an app that would allow me to show the exact time from the phone's clock in front of a camera used to shoot legal depositions. I also wanted it to allow me to display the case number, witness name, date, and attorney names. I can do all of that on the phone app. Granted, I can't change the names of the fields (eg director, scene etc.) the iPad version allows a little bit more text to be displayed.

I don't really need the clapper/audio feature, but I did some test shots. It seems the red dot displays a couple of frames before the sound is heard on my camera, so be aware of that if you're using it to sync audio.

Also, the last numbers near the time--the frames number-- is completely random. It goes up to 20 something several times per second, when it should go from 0-30 only once per second. Not a big deal though. I don't use that number for anything anyway.

I absolutely love this app! I am a filmmaker in Kentucky and don't want to purchase a very expensive clapperboard. I decided to look on the App Store, and the prices are through the roof! They may have some slight advances in features, but for 99 cents, this is a GREAT bargain! At first I was a little skeptical about the animation of the moving-out-of-frame slate, but in the end I enjoy it! I highly recommend this!

The two updates I would enjoy is a selection to make the movie title in all caps. Maybe under settings? Lastly, I wish the text would shrink to a smaller size in the title area, so if the production name was long, it could still fit on the board without an ellipsis. But don't get me wrong! This is an amazing app! Thank you so much, Mr. Developer!

Does everything as promised. My friends and I shot a "movie within a movie" with child actors playing actors. This was much cheaper and actually pretty hilarious for our child director to use.

"Your phone is a clapboard?"
"My phone does %$&#ing everything!"

I am an indie videographer that does a lot of on the run multi camera shoots. This is a GREAT app to give a sync point for 2,3 or more cameras when you are following the action and don't have the luxury of on site engineering. A great tool for the field.

We use it to compliment our family videos made with our FlipHD camera. Adds a nice touch to our videos :)

Such a great app at a cheap price. Been fun an entertaining to use these past few days with my kids :)

I was happy to find out you can flip your phone/ iPad around an the slate doesn't rotate.

A option to manually close the clapper would be great. Very basic features.

This app hangs up when using the clap feature. You then need to trigger it a second time. Can be a little embarrassing when using with a client.
