Wow, it’s been a week - I’m only just uploading on a Saturday! I made this teleprompter before I started the channel, and thought you might enjoy it. Let me know below: If you are RU-vid creator, do you script your videos, wing it, or somewhere in between?
This is the best design I have seen so far from my research on DIY. One thing I would add is wood gluing a board on the bottom and adding in a base plate so you can mount the teleprompter on a light or camera stand.
I also experienced that using your existing Powerpoint slides with bullet points in a teleprompter is a good option than following word-for-word script, you speak confidently and maintain eye contact because you always have the whole concept in mind. Thank you Simon for the great review,
Amazing!!!! & you don't use it! You're a pro Simon. I always love your videos for your authenticity, personality, clarity, & the feeling you're talking right to me. I don't know how you do it. 🤔 Definitely one of the best speakers/presenters/creators/editors I've watched on here. So happy to have stumbled on you. 'See' you Friday! 🤗
That's why you look so natural and confident in front of camera, Simon, Would slides with bullet points make a great impression if I present them as my teleprompter software?.
Haha thanks: yeah I use it for the trickier explanations of ideas when I want to be concise works well. Not a bad idea using it for Bullet points if you just had it static as a guide. Cheers
When I'm singing and playing guitar some of my songs I jump around and speed up and slow down what is there for that type of teleprompter? Is there some kind of mechanical turn the page type of device for musicians that is cheap?
Kind of maybe: you would likely be better to set up an external webcam that mounts on a tripod head, and use a phone sized teleprompter in front of it. I’ve used it with the Opal C1 before.
Amazing... Thank you very much ..Big hi from Dubai. .... I am Syrian Freelancer Training Consultant ..Thank you very much ....Wish you happy Life, you and your family and friends
Absolutely great tutorial, Thank you. Question: I found a way of converting my own slides and use them as my teleprompter software (which is done with PPT Mirror tool) would it be a better option to help me sound natural and maintain eye contact than using word-for-word script?. if you ever experienced using Powerpoint as your teleprompter software.
Interesting idea: I think slides or script work: just depends on the person. I just use mine for more intricate sections of video I want to get precise so use a script. Otherwise I just film sections and rif on my notes. Your PowerPoint approach sounds cool. Good luck! :)
Haha, I’ve occasionally used it for complicated explanations - but I’m a fan of bullet points and doing a few takes: it’s a really useful thing thou if scripting is your thing :)
@@BetterCreating it's not. I'm an improvised and go with one take only. But yesterday I had to present other people talks, so I had a narrative, and me not looking in the camera was a bummer…
Hello Simon. Trust you are doing well. Thank you for the lovely video. I am thinking of doing it myself too. Been wanting a teleprompter for so long, but they are super expensive in our country. Can you please just let me know what size was the photo frames? Much appreciated
Yeah it’s good! Mine is 10x9’ ish. I’ve also recently downloaded Promptsmart which is excellent - costs a bit but have voice recognition so will move as you speak and allows for ad libs. Best iPad app I’ve used in ages! :)
is this glass found in the frames good for teleprompting? I mean if you are recording does it look ok? (I asking if you can see the text on the recording going through?) Thanks in advance!
Check out my latest uploads - all used the teleprompter! I can’t see any difference - as long as there isn’t light behind the lens reflecting on the glass, and it’s close to the lens it just acts like a clear filter. All good!
Haha - you are very welcome - currently my least successful vid, but i was 2-days late uploading 😂 - after a tough week, figured I’d finally share this rather than rush a different video! It’s a great hack!
