customer David Snodgrass has been using Prompter People prompters for a number of years. "We’re a small community
newspaper in a town with a major university that we cover intensely, especially
the athletic teams. This fall we started an OTT channel for Indiana University
sports on Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon. The programming includes daily
sports briefs presented by the newspapers sports editors as well as longer
pieces on the major sports stories of the week. We record these in the
newspapers photography studio, which we adapted for video use with new lights
and repainting a wall behind the backdrop to incorporate green-screen effects
when desired.
All of this has been
designed and operated by our three staff photographers, primarily oriented to
still newspaper photojournalism, but we’ve been adapting new technology in
various forms for the past 25 years.
When we first started
the talking heads sports reports, the “talent” would stutter and stumble,
requiring re-takes and careful editing.
With the addition of the
teleprompter, they now breeze through their script smoothly — and usually with
just one recording, making all of us happier." www.heraldtimesonline.com
