Cue scary Darth Vader music!

It's not everyday that you get to meet and work with Stormtroopers in authentic Star Wars costumes!  Luckily they didn't need to read the prompter, as I don't know how they see through those helmets!

The 10.5" freestanding lcd did the trick on this one.

iPad prompter with 5D on an Cinevate™ Atlas Slider

This job screamed for the iPad!  We couldn't weigh down the slider any more than necessary- and the 5 pound iPad mount was ideal.  There's a 5D in there somewhere! :) 

Teleprompter to the stars!

Just wrapped a multi-day job at TIFF - (Toronto International Film Festival for non-Torontonians reading this).  This was for an international PSA campaign to help raise funds to fight poverty and disease in Africa.  The ONE campaign.

I'm not one to name-drop, but MANY stars passed in front of the prompter over the three days.  I'll tell you who on the next job you have me out on.  :)

Teleprompting for "Total Recall" remake!

Sorry.. no shots from this one.  As you can imagine, personal cameras are strictly forbidden on jobs like this.  Check back after the movie is out and I'll repost some more info.

Needless to say, it was a VERY COOL SHOOT to be involved with.

iPad steadycam shoot

Completed a multi-day steadycam shoot with the iPad prompter and the new Sony F3.  This was a great job with an amazing crew!  The iPad mounted to the steadycam rig very easily.. like they were made for each other!  We shot in several locations- a movie theatre, a grocery store and a book store to name a few.  The iPad was perfect in this scenario, and people were blown away by the wireless prompting technology. 

Steadycam paired with a wireless iPad teleprompter- cutting edge or what?!

Red Cam on track & dolly/jib

Here's a couple of shots from a studio shoot that paired the 17" display with a Red Cam on a track & dolly/jib.  Talent was about 20 feet away and had no problem viewing the teleprompter screen.  The shot to the right has the arm extended to the maximum height- about 8.5 feet.

First iPad shoot!

All the testing paid off.. Everything went really well on our first iPad prompting shoot.  The pics below show a Sony EX-1 camera on the iPad mount.  This was a great use of the iPad prompter- a short script, and a short distance to the subject.

We are gathered here today... to teleprompt in St. James Cathedral.

Glad to be part of this recent shoot in St. James Cathedral.  This one paired a Canon 5D with the 10.4" lcd display.  Thanks to Brian for sitting in for the shot :)

Fill 'er up!!

You never know where we'll be next.. This shoot at a gas station in Toronto ran the teleprompting gamut-- Indoor, outdoor, freestanding, on-camera, dolly shots.  Everything was handled and the client loved it!

Another Red One Shoot

Isn't this a gorgeous shot?  A Red Cam paired with the 17" on-camera display.  This was at Pie in the Sky Studios.  Thanks to Barry for the pic!

Double the pleasure!

Two freestanding prompters on this shoot.  The one on the left was a regular 17" lcd screen-- the one on the right was the 17" freestanding unit with glass.  We moved and interchanged the displays depending on what the shot / eyeline called for.  Sometimes the actors were looking off-camera, and sometimes it was right down the barrel.  Fun shoot!

Canon 7D/On-Camera Teleprompter Shoot

Below are shots from another Canon 7D SLR shoot.  This time it was better to mount the camera directly onto the prompter sled.  We also used the riser bracket to achieve ideal lens placement.  The 10.4" display was used here as well.

Should I share this??

Well now I can say I've prompted pretty much everywhere possible.  The shots below were taken from a shoot in the washroom of a large corporation... At least I had no problem finding a seat!  Camera was a JVC ProHD 100U.

Canon 7D/Freestanding Teleprompter Shoot

Below are pictures from a shoot with a Canon 7D SLR camera. The prompter and tripod needed to be separate for the shoot, as some lines were delivered to-camera and others needed to be off-camera, or 'interview style'.  The freestanding teleprompter was ideal for this scenario, as you can move it quickly and easily anywhere you need it without being tied to the tripod.  The 17" lcd display was used.

Ever seen a prompter used with a 7D before?  Now you have!

Got RED?  Got you covered!

Below are pictures from car dealership shoot using a RED ONE Cam with the 10.4" display.  The universal teleprompter mount accepted this high-end camera with no issues.  You may notice that the side prompter curtains are hanging down for the picture.  When up and in place, they do a great job of keeping text readable by blocking external light to the lcd screen.

This is the first time the cameraman had used a teleprompter with his RED Cam before. 

Queen's Park Shoot

The picutres below were taken at a Queen's Park shoot for the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.  It shows the 10.4" teleprompter display paired wtih a full sized Sony PDW-F800 XD camera. 

Jib-Shoot for the internet

Below are some stills from a jib-shoot in the Distillery District.  The jib operator appreciated the lightweight mount and display (only 6 lbs).  The talent loved the fact that he could read his script clearly up to 12 feet away while the jib was in motion!!  

"Family Matters" Pilot Shoot

IslandFX and Advicescene flew in from Victoria, B.C. to shoot a pilot episode of "Family Matters", with Justice Harvey Brownstone.  The show's goal is to educate the public on family law issues.

ARprompt was pleased to provide teleprompting for the production. 

Thanks to Omar Ha-Redeye for supplying the pictures.
