If you’re not a professional on-camera personality (just like that guy up there), a teleprompter can be immensely helpful. It cuts the anxiety about delivering your lines, and after a take or two to get out the jitters you’ll be cruising right along. You won’t have to memorize or fumble through your lines since you’re just reading along.
Even if you are comfortable in front of the camera, you may want to consider a teleprompter if you have a lot of material to cover. If you work better off-the-cuff, we can load up bullet points to make sure you cover all your topics.
To summarize it again, there are two basic ways we can film an interview with a teleprompter.
Interview Style
- Less formal
- More relaxed
- As seen on 60 Minutes
Straight-to-Camera
- More formal
- More engaged
- More connected
There you have it; a quick crash-course in teleprompters and different filming styles!
A few more tips to look your best:
Busy is Bad
Don’t wear clothing with bold patterns or geometric shapes. The audience will watch your clothes instead of you.
If you’ll be wearing a tie, simple is best. Bring several options. Avoid complex patterns, thin lines, or bright reds and oranges.
Colors to Avoid
Avoid wearing black, white, bright orange or bright reds. These colors can cause problems on video.
Green Screen
If you’re going to be filmed in front of a green screen, don’t wear anything with green (unless you want to disappear)!
Jewelry
Watch out for jewelry that reflects light or makes noise, like bangles.
Makeup and Hair
Wear makeup to cover up blemishes and reduce perspiration. You may want to bring a handkerchief or tissues to dab perspiration during breaks. Women should avoid vivid red lipstick or lip gloss; stick to softer tones and dab lips with a little powder.
Don’t Over-Prep
We do not recommend memorizing a script unless you are a vigorous and frequent speech giver. Do memorize your key messages and let us help you get the information across during the interview process. We are more than willing to work with you to get the quotes we need to make a great video.
Drink Lots of Water
Make sure you stay hydrated and have bottled water available during your video shoot – the lights are hot and you may not have a chance to get up in between takes.
Look at the Interviewer
Don’t look directly at the camera lens. You will be answering questions asked to you by an interviewer seated next to the camera. Interact and converse with the interviewer as if there isn’t a camera in the room. Don’t look down or away from the interviewer, always look them directly in the eye and give your response with confidence and feeling. After all, you are talking to your audience!
Have Fun!
Try to relax & enjoy the process. We are here to help make this a productive and positive experience for you. Your preparation and willingness to listen to our advice is key to your video success!
