Stage and Live Teleprompting

When prompting talent in a live situation, your needs may fall under one of categories below.

Presidential Style

"Presidentials" refer to the style that many politicians use when speaking live to an audience from a stationary lecturn. The speaker looks through the 2-way glass mirror into the audience. The audience can't see the scrolling text, while talent reads a sharp, clear image as it scrolls across the glass in front.

Feeding DSMs

For speakers who like to move across the stage, DownStage Monitors (DSMs) provide the latitude the speaker needs. The talent reads their script off of monitors placed at the base of the stage, or, in the 'pit' just in front of the audience. This format doesn't have the direct eyeline that "Presidentials" offer, but might be considered more 'conversational'.

Live Broadcast

If your production is going live to the internet, or to record, the "live/stage" rate will apply rather than the video/film rates. Prompter needs may vary between "on-cam" prompter, or feeding strategically placed DSMs.

Video or Film Prompting

Prompting for a video shoot can take several different forms depending on your needs.

Eyeline - Direct to Camera

Most video prompting falls under this category. When you want your talent to deliver their scripted words directly into camera, this method allows their eyes to look directly at the viewer. A special 2-way glass mirror is mounted in front of the camera lens either on a stand or directly on a tripod with the camera.

Over the Shoulder

When you want to prompt talent in a 'skit' format, prompter screens can be placed on stands strategically so that talent appears to be talking to EACH OTHER, rather than into the camera. For long training videos, this format can speed your production along with less chance of forgotten lines causing delays.

Eye-to-Eye

Utilizing an eyeline teleprompter, and a separate camera focused on the person conducting an interview, this method helps create intimate 'dialogue' with talent. This is most used as a documentary style where the goal is to have the interviewee feel relaxed, but at the same time, speaking directly into the lens of the camera.
