Monitor, stand, camera: already existing.The fabric should be attached in a way that no light can enter from the the back (also from the sides). To keep the fabric from getting in front of the camera, I added two braces. Therefore the whole construction is covered with plain black light-tight fabric. The space between the camera and the acrylic glass plate should be as dark as possible (otherwise the projection will not work). A plate (made of acrylic glass) is put on top of the monitor and fixed with some wooden bars and an L-section at an angle of 45° (circa). I had an old 23″ Samsung monitor (an iPad would also work, there are a lot of teleprompter-apps (link in German)) and mounted it onto a snare stand (a drummer always has one of those stands lying around somewhere). There are also teleprompters where the display is placed directly under or besides the camera, but if the person is quite near to the camera you will notice that he or she is not looking into the camera. The camera is on the other side and is filming “through” the reflecting surface, so that the person is always looking into the camera while reading and (nearly) no eye-movement is visible. The text (that is displayed on the screen) is reflected by the surface and can be read by the person in front of it. a semi-transparent mirror) is placed on top of a horizontal display (ideally at an angle of 45°). The basic setup of a teleprompter is quite simple: a reflecting surface (eg. For a no-budget-shoot both alternatives are out of question. Prompterpeople) and also to rent (€150 per day in Vienna). Unfortunately they are also relatively expensive to buy (eg. Teleprompters are essential for US-presidents, longer speeches and persons who are too lazy to learn a text by heart.
