Teleprompter setup and camera - two operators behind it

Standard Teleprompter Rental (AutoCue)

Price: $945/10 Hour Day

Delivered and operated by a professional operator.

Mileage charge and tolls apply to shoots outside the city.

A “through-the-lens” setup is most commonly used on video production sets. These are often recognized as the type of prompter used by news anchors.

On a very simple level, a teleprompter is a modern display device much like the old fashioned cue cards.  The speaker or performer is “prompted” with the visual text of a speech or script.

Larger teleprompters should only be used if there is a considerable distance between the unit and the talent, if the talent has very poor eyesight, or if two cameras will be placed behind the glass. If a larger unit is used in any other circumstance, there is a strong likelihood that the eye line will be compromised, therefore the subject’s eyes will shift left to right, making it apparent that the subject is reading a script.

Our operators are so adept and familiar with the software that they not only can make adjustments to the copy at rehearsal, but also during a break between shots.

Boston Interrotron

 

Interrotron Mark III Rental (Director’s Unit and Talent Unit)

The Interrotron Mark III contains two separate units:

The Director’s Unit displays a live feed of the talent. The director not only is “face to face” with the talent directly through-the-lens but he/she can simultaneously judge framing, exposure, depth of field, focus, color saturation, etc.

The Talent Unit is built on a modified, professional teleprompter platform.  But the standard definition VGA teleprompter monitor is replaced by a large HD monitor, sized to correctly display the director’s face in the correct proportion. The talent is more relaxed as they are conversing with a human rather than looking into the depths of a camera lens. The Mark III rig is especially useful with children and inexperienced actors/interviewees.

Another option is the Interrotron Mark II ($645/10 Hour Day). This is basically just a talent unit. It does not come with a director’s unit or second camera or professional camera monitor, so while the talent can view the director’s face in front of the lens, the director cannot see talent and must speak into the camera sending the feed to the talent unit.

Boston EyeDirect unit

 

 

EyeDirect Rental

Price: $250/Day; $750/3 Day Week

It is only available for in-office pickup or shipping.

The EyeDirect functions like the standard Mark III Interrotron in that both talent and director are able to see each other “face to face”. The unit utilizes a mirror system to achieve these results, and does not require any battery or AC power. The unit also comes with an iPad mount, which can be used to turn the device into an iPad teleprompter.

The unit comes in a custom-fitted Pelican case which protects it while being shipped.  The case weighs 30 lbs and is just a bit larger than the typical airline carry-on bag.

 Presidential Teleprompter Rental (aka Speech Prompter)

Price: $1295/10 Hour Day

The Presidential Teleprompter allows the speaker to address the audience without being blocked from view. Two glass panels are set up on steel rods. Monitors are placed at the bottom of the stands, which displays text and projects them onto the glass for the speaker to view. While he/she can see the text, the audience does not. Instead, they see right through the glass and get a clear view of the speaker. For this reason, the device is sometimes called the “invisible teleprompter”.

Since Presidential Teleprompters are mostly used for live events, our operator always brings a backup laptop with prompter software. It is also wise to request that the operator arrive a few hours before show time so that he/she can work with the talent and set up the prompter, and fonts, in a way that is most comfortable for the speaker.

Boston Confidence Monitor on wooden floor

Confidence Monito

19” monitors or 32”, 36” monitor on a black stand.

For larger monitors and unique setups, please call Bill at 917.414.5489.

Although it’s common for most speakers to stand behind the podium, some people (performers and singers) prefer to walk around the stage. In cases like this, the Confidence Monitor is the appropriate teleprompter. These are small, flat screen HD monitors which can receive any signal from a teleprompter. They can be placed downstage, offstage or in the back of the room behind the audience.

iPad Teleprompter Rental/EyePrompter Rental

Price: $95 without iPad; $120 with iPad

Please call for extended rental packages.

Stand not included.

This unit is available for shipping only.

The EyePrompter is the best iPad prompter unit on the market. It is small (it fits inside a laptop case), affordable, and takes under two minutes to set up. The only note we have about this unit is that most iPad prompter software does not allow live scroll speed adjustments, so the talent has to keep a constant pace with the scroll, rather than speak at his/her own pace.

Boston Lectern Monitor (hidden from view)

 

 

 

Podium Prompter (Podium AutoCue)

Price: $745/10 Hour Day (with operator)

The lectern monitor is another alternative for the presidential setup. It is a thin monitor placed on top of the podium out of sight of the audience. The cable is run down the inside of the podium and out to the operator (seated off stage). The speaker just glances down at the top of the podium as if he/she were simply looking at notes and then gazes at the audience in a natural way.

Boston Wireless Prompter

Wireless SteadiCam Teleprompter & Jib/Slider Teleprompter

This unit is not available at all locations and is custom-built.

Please call Bill at 917-414-5489  or Jocelyn at 646-617-6535 for more information re availability and pricing.

Rise and Fall “Robotic” Presidential Prompter Pair

presidential teleprompter

Occasionally, there is a need for several speakers to share the same podium at a live event.  They may be of varying heights so that the teleprompter may need to be adjusted up or down for each individual.  Having an assistant rush onstage to adjust the prompter height is not a good way to handle this.

Enter the Rise and Fall “Robotic” Presidential Teleprompter.   In rehearsal, our operator sets the height of the two glass “paddles” for optimum comfortable reading level for each speaker.  Then during the live event, he/she robotically adjusts the prompter height from a nearby location.

This unit is available in New York and San Francisco but can be shipped to other cities.  Our Manhattan robotic prompter has served Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Nantucket, Newark, Atlantic City, Hartford, Westchester and the Hamptons.

Price: $1595 Rise and Fall “Robotic” Teleprompter

Close up of smiling woman
Living in Boston, Massachusetts has been incredible. It has formed some of the best memories of my life. I am aware that I am lucky in that I can say what most can’t. I spent several summers eating hotdogs and drinking fresh squeezed lemonade at Fenway Park with my father. He was an untiring jogger and eventually, I became one as well. I was very active and followed my father’s footsteps, as it were.
My favorite place to jog was and continues to be along the Freedom Trail. It’s a 2.5 mile magical run.   Canopies of bright, colorful leaves, engulf and protect you. The ground molds to your shoes making the impression that you are floating. The fresh, brisk air kisses your cheek. All this is conducive to a calming experience, one you yearn for daily.
As a single mother, I have become part of a strong community of other single parents. We jog together and coordinate lunches or play times for our kids. It’s been a lifesaver for me. Recently I celebrated my 34th birthday and realized that my son, Culley is seven years old now. He’s been my greatest teacher to date. He has sandy, brown hair and a smile that lights you up from the inside out.
He is bright, precocious, imaginative and highly inquisitive.  He loves to go the movies. Marvel related movies make him the happiest right now. He’s fascinated by how they are made. He’s expressed a desire to be involved in that area when gets older but not as an actor.
A few weeks ago, my friend Randy invited us to join him on set to watch the making of a commercial. Culley was so intrigued and asked questions of the crew. They, in turn, enjoyed explaining and showing him their function. Each is a separate part yet all work together, like a well-oiled machine.
Given my circumstances, I have always worked to support the two of us. I have had over 14 jobs in every area imaginable. I have modeled, acted, written, taught. I have cleaned houses and waited tables. I have mowed lawns and lived off the kindness of strangers. (As one of my favorite characters would say.) But not until now could I say that I have a job that I actually love and look forward to going to.
Randy introduced me to one of the teleprompter operators, Gina, who has a son around Culley’s age. We got to talking and the next thing I know I’m starting a new career! It’s only been a few weeks but I am so happy to be working with what has become a family of sorts. I found such an amazing and talented team at this company. They took the time to train me. Their unlimited patience won’t be forgotten. I appreciate the opportunity.
In addition, and perhaps most important, Culley is able to visit the sets and see behind the scenes. It’s as if he’s an intern. This is invaluable experience for him at his age. One of our grips even let him pull the camera attached to a dolly on small tracks. His big brown eyes lit up the size of saucers and sparkled with a happiness that transforms me. Life is finally beginning to feel complete.   I often pinch myself, am I living in a movie?
