Teleprompter - DIY

can't figure out why the rank is so low though...

rating and comment sinisa10!

I appreciate it!

your computer and monitor and make the box fit your monitor! You obviously have some type of computer or you wouldn't be online!

I just got owned.

Wasn't busting your chops... just trying to help Ripture!

Why do so many people gotta be so negative and technical. The video was clear. BTW Hershey I sell used monitors in my pawn shop for $5. So you still would be under $50.00

"negative and technical" ?

I was only pointing out that this post claims to teach how to make "your own teleprompter for less than $50.00!"

My contribution was that the $50 does not include the computer you need to run the teleprompter software, meaning this is more like a video on how to make your own teleprompter case, which would have been a more accurate post title and description.

It would be as if I made a video on "How to make your own laser cannon for $15!!" and I just described on building a cheap housing for some $10000 laser generator. It doesn't really count.

Sorry i also own a $2.99 store. We have monitors there too.... if you got one there your total cost would be 49.99!

I just saw that you posted twice? It sounds like you meant to switch accounts and make it look like more people are commenting against me?

Again, you can buy a monitor fine. Good luck running teleprompter software without the other stuff a computer needs to, you know, actually run.

IZasPIE!

Lucchina!

too

Great idea you gave me to make this! I appreciate it! Diggs are up over 200 in the last 4 hours! Rank still S**ks ... go figure.

Kip will always be the how to god! LOL

5 *****"s

What did you mean??

I meant that teleprompter, AFAIK, is needed to help announcer read text. So, announcer is reading text from teleprompter and camera is shooting announcer at this moment. But. Why do you need to shoot teleprompter itself?

teleprompter so the announcer is looking at the audience instead of off to the side.

Appreciate it!

5 stars!

Thanks Sam!

is so the camera can shoot through the glass that the script is being projected on. That way, you are looking directly at the camera instead of looking off to the side or under the lens. When You're looking anywhere other than the camera, it's obvious and you can tell you're reading from something. This is how news and other live TV shows do it.

But anyway, it's a good DIY project.

the teleprompter. I assume if you can watch online videos you already have a laptop or computer!

watch your monitor instead of looking directly at the reflected surface (that the camera is shooting through) it's obvious that you're not looking at the camera!

Sure was!

Now everyone can do their own Metacafe News from the underground LOL

It was your idea to make the video LOL

Well it was your idea and brain that made the teleprompter. I could have never in a million years come up with that.

You come up with some BRILLIANT comedy sketches Edie!

I have a Canon XL2 with an Anton Bauer Battery Pack and a Digital Hard Drive on the back of the camera. The Tripod is a Manfrotto Tripod with a 503 fluid motion head and the VariZoom rocker hand control for the tripod. Thanks for watching!

What made you get a digital hard drive and what model number is the tripod?
Thanx again

With the hard drive, in addition to recording on the MiniDV tape, it also captures the footage in a digital format so you don't have to capture the footage on your computer. Take the hard drive, plug it into your computer and copy the files over for editing. You can capture about 4 hours on the hard drive I have.
The tripod base is a 351MVB2.

It's a Canon XL2
