@ Spencer. Like you I’ve used them for many years, but its an educational video and not every man, woman or dog would know what a autocue is. :)

@ John Kantor, Christine Lund (a news reader at the ABC O&O in Los Angeles, during the 1970s) was wearing a chromakey blue knit dress one evening, when they came back from the commercial break, she was wearing red 8-D

Friend of mine who does corporate “talking head shots” uses a teleprompter. Works well with people who are good public speakers, many are one take. Also very helpful for people who don’t usually speak in public (turns 10 take into a couple.

Have you heard about “ear prompters?” http://www.ovation.tv/ They feed you lines with an earbud. Eric Estrada (who doesn’t speak Spanish) used an ear prompter when he was on a Telenovela.

Am I missing something about this video? Maybe I’m just so used to things, but I’ve known about teleprompters (autocues) for at least 10 years. We used to have them in my high school video production studio back in 1999.
