Today we are with Nathan Drake from Mina Studios and he is helping me make a DIY Teleprompter for only $4! I have been struggling to talk to the camera and knowing what to say, so we are making a teleprompter with a free iPad app to use for my future recordings and for uses at my church such as our church video announcements. We will show you how to make this cheap teleprompter in a few easy to follow steps.

    • For Android - @play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.confidentteleprompter Teleprompter - read text while scrolling in your screen & record video or audio at the same time. Read your text straight from your phone while recording yourself. Just like a professional teleprompter.

  • I swear, 24 hours ago, it hit me that I could use a cheap photo frame glass to make one of these. The black binder was a brilliant bonus. Would like to see the footage recorded by the camera through that glass though. If it's not anti-reflective, and that glass isn't low-refraction, I feel like there might be some ghosting?

      @thehappyhippie3826@thehappyhippie38263 жыл бұрын

    • @@thehappyhippie3826 I've used it, so I can tell you how it works. With the glass bent forward slightly, you place your tablet with teleprompter app underneath. Then, you place your camera behind the glass and cover the back of the teleprompter and camera with a dark sheet. The glass reflects the screen, and the sheet allows your camera to record without any of the words getting in the way.
