Slate (slate.cam) — Cinematic Shot Builder for Digital Directors

Stop Prompting. Start Directing. Slate translates real cinematography into prompts that AI video and image models actually understand. Designed for digital directors, 3D animators, and technical artists working with Midjourney, Flux, Sora, Runway, Kling, and Luma.

Direct with Physics and Optical Precision

Slate brings cinematographic discipline to AI art. Instead of trial-and-error natural language queries, construct visual frames by defining real physical hardware, optical configurations, and lighting ratios. Validate your hardware configurations and engineer your lighting with deterministic precision.

Core Production Capabilities

Optics and Lens Hardware Validation

Control depth of field with exact f-stop precision (f/1.2 to f/16). Seamlessly switch between anamorphic lens families (oval bokeh, horizontal flare streaks) and prime spherical glass (ultra-sharp focus, natural roll-off). Automated validation flags impossible physics and optical incompatibilities.

Studio and Natural Lighting Engineering

Calibrate three-point studio lighting setups with key, fill, and rim light ratios. Program volumetric atmospheric haze, harsh chiaroscuro, natural golden hour, and cyberpunk neon noir color palettes with calibrated color temperatures in Kelvin.

Camera Choreography and Movement Paths

Direct dynamic cinematic movement: program complex dolly tracks, crane shots, Dutch angles, 360-degree orbital pans, and handheld organic camera shake with specified speeds and directions.
