Re: Camera and teleprompter positioning

I recently shot a similar production of a 1 hour delivery. I used a 19 inch LCD screen positioned right below the lens and we were about 12 feet away from the talent. The farther away the camera is from the talent, the less the viewer can perceive the exact angle of the talent's gaze direction. The talent (who had experience with commercial teleprompters in big studios) said that it was his best experience with a prompter and the video looks great.

I found an off-the-shelf bracket at Home Depot that allowed me to attach the VESA mount on the LCD screen to a Matthews TVMP adapter to support the screen on a C-stand.
