Slatefox
What it is
Slatefox is web software for planning productions from script to shoot. It is designed for producer-directors, first assistant directors, student crews, and small teams making shorts, music videos, commercials, web series, documentaries, or features. Pasting script text can create scenes and characters, while the AI Script Parser produces scenes, cast, and breakdowns in one pass. Production planning includes a stripboard, calendar-based shoot days, and 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 while schedules are tested. Auto Day-Out suggests scene groupings using location, interior or exterior, day or night, and cast availability, with review before applying. Slatefox says it works offline, requires no account, keeps scripts on devices, and offers cloud sync. Plans are Free at no cost, Indie at €19 a month, and Studio at €59 a month.
