What is a Teleprompter? Do I really need one for my shoot?
A teleprompter is piece of equipment used to help the person in front of the camera read a script. The teleprompter displays the script via scrolling text (similar to credits at the beginning of Star Wars). As the text is read by the person in front of the camera, the teleprompter operator controls the speed of the script and rate of delivery of the person speaking as they are trained in following speech patterns.
Teleprompters are not just for commercials or movies, they can also be used for live events and speaking in front of an audience. Anytime you have a long list of things that you need to cover when speaking, a teleprompter is helpful in making your speech or film shoot a quick and painless one.
Using a teleprompter in your next shoot has many benefits:
- It streamlines and reduces shoot production costs by making it easier to get that perfect "take". When you are working with deadlines and budgets, you want them met without issue.
- Scripts do not need to be memorized or rehearsed prior to filming. It eliminates cumbersome paper notes or cue cards. Everything can be put into the prompter and read with ease and confidence.
- Long, detailed scripts or speeches are delivered consistently and with precision.
- It helps the presenter/talent maintain eye contact with their audience and feel comfortable speaking, giving the presenter/talent the ability to focus on their delivery and style when speaking.
