Interview friendly Interrotron
Posted by Andrew Parker in Teleprompter aka Autocue Sunday, 4 April 2010 23:45 No Comments
This bizarre sounding piece of equipment is actually a long awaited answer to a common interview problem.
An untrained interview subject is nervously looking into a camera lens and then keeps looking off camera at the interviewer who questions him. The Interritron is a simple but elegant solution. Its actually two teleprompters which have been modified to accept a video image. With the addition of a simple camera we have a closed TV system.
The interviewer sits in a separate space and is shot by the second camera. His image is projected on the teleprompter in front of the interviewee. That way the interviewee is relaxed as he/she is looking into the teleprompter and seeing not a cold, unblinking lens but the face of the person speaking to him and can concentrate on his/her answer rather than looking off camera at the director/interviewer. In short, the Interritron relaxes the “talent” and keeps their eye line right where it should be.

What’s a Presidential Prompter and Why Have They Become So Popular?
Posted by Andrew Parker in Presidential Prompter Tuesday, 13 October 2009 02:55 No Comments
A presidential teleprompter (also known as a speech prompter) is a pair of semi-transparent mirrors mounted on two narrow stands placed at a 45 degree angle. There is a monitor underneath which is reflected off the mirror, but the text is only visible from the speaker-side due to the anti-reflective coating on the backside of if.
As the speaker does not need to look down to consult written notes, he or she appears to have memorized the speech or be speaking spontaneously, without distraction.
Presidential teleprompt
ers are useful both with and without cameras. It’s helpful in situations where the speaker is addressing an audience and does not need to be speaking directly into the camera. The cameraman is able to capture the speaker from all angles, especially angles where the speaker is not facing the mirror.
But more and more frequently presidential prompters are used to simply give confidence to the speaker that he/she will say exactly what he/she wishes without looking down at a their printed notes and loosing eye contact with the audience.
