How to slate for the camera

Thanks to Eric for passing this along ... as with he, I did not know what the purpose of a camera slate was. Makes much more sense now.

Best slating ever slated http://videosift.com/video/Inglorious-Basterds-Film-Clapper-Awesomeness

Inglorious Basterds - Film Clapper Awesomeness has been added as a related post - related requested by eric3579.

Surprised he didn't mention the importance of the colours on the slate for editing purposes. Allows the editor and post-production folks to ensure everything looks right in the final mastered version of the film. For example if an actor's costume appears to be a different colour in certain lightning then the post-production folks can adjust the filter for the whole scene using the colours on the slate as guidance.

also most professional 2nd assistants will not use random words to associate with each letter, as you can see in the Inglorious clips it can be distracting to the actors and take them out of the scene.
The correct way is to use the Military Alphabet Code.

Also, close up scenes in porn require soft sticks.
