Overview

Slatefox is a web-based production planning tool for indie crews taking scripts through shoot preparation. It is aimed at producer-directors, first assistant directors, student crews and small teams making shorts, music videos, commercials, web series, documentaries and features. Paste script text to create scenes and characters, or use the AI Script Parser to produce scenes, cast and breakdowns in one pass. Users can build a stripboard, arrange shoot days on a calendar and view page totals. Slatefox generates PDF call sheets with sun, weather and cast call times, and automatically creates day-out-of-days reports. Continuity notes and photos can be pinned to scenes. The Day Simulator updates overtime, daylight, turnaround and day structure as schedule changes are explored. Auto Day-Out suggests scene groupings by location, interior or exterior, day or night, and cast availability; users review suggestions before applying them. Slatefox says it works offline without a signal and scripts stay on users’ devices; no account is required. Cloud sync is available across devices. Free is available to try; Indie costs 19.00 EUR per month and Studio costs 59.00 EUR per month.
