Teleprompter with scripts on them...to go across the computer screen while videoing
Hello..
I just spoke to David Brown, with my request.
I have a hard time reading the small script print and another BombBomb user and I
think that getting a teleprompter incorporated into the video would be such a great idea.
YOu could video and the words go across the screen o the script and it would look much more comfortable to reading the script and having to get close with glasses on...
Think about it...

I have been recording videos for years, and most of mine are scripted.
I started out using a webcam on my laptop and read the words from the screen underneath the webcam. The problem with this was that to the viewer, I was not making eye contact because I was not looking at the lens.
The solution I use in longer, more formal videos has been to get the camera (a DSLR) about 8 feet away from me. I put my script into a program called Prompt (you can get it for free). Then it scrolls like the big boys' TelePromptTer. Because the camera is so far away, the viewer can't tell I am reading; it appears as though I am looking directly into the lens.
For the simpler BombBomb videos, I have the camera closer: I put it on my desk on a small tripod. The one I got also has a sort of clamp to hold a smartphone. I print out my script and tape it right under the camera, so if I glance down at it, the viewer doesn't even notice.

There are apps for this now that run on your phone while you are recording. I have seen them shown during webinars, but not used one myself. I don't know if they could be used along with BB. I like to record on my laptop, so I need to find out if there is anything available to run on the computer that could run while BombBomb is recording.
