I'm seeing more use of iPad 'slates' in corporate interviews and voxpops, which should be good, but as an editor, the absolute NUMBER ONE thing I need to know is 'who is this, how's the name spelled, what should the caption say?' - that often gets left out, but I do know the F-stop and the DoP.

And that got me thinking because I am actually an editor who shoots and now shoots more than he edits. I use Movie Slate to get Interviewee name, affiliation, client, location, shot type (interview/voxpop) and so on.

Slightly less importantly, I try and slate 'Ch1: 416 Boomed, Ch2: COS11 Lav'

So, let's say we can slate all interviews and at least some GVs.

Never mind the 'feature film' and indie market with their requirements, what do we - the corporate, short form, 'bunch of random stuff - make it work' editors want on our slates?

I was going to list so many options, but hey - let's just shoot the breeze here. And it's not just slates, it's logging too.
