I was on set of a commercial shoot doing run and gun production sound mixing this past week and I hit quite a snarl. As soon as I arrived I was asked if I had slate. There was no mention of bringing slate on our prepro call and this marked my first experience of being expected to have one without previously talking about it.
The producer, DP, and AC all looked at me in agreement and said, "sound always brings slate."
I felt bad beside I couldn't refute on the spot, but now that I've researched I can't find anything on the subject. I would assume either the AC or whoever is renting gear would bring it.
So does anyone here know who brings the slate?
