How to set it up

Two devices beats one. Film on the phone's back camera, it is the good one. Put this page on a second phone or an iPad right under the recording lens, screen facing her.

  1. Recording phone on the tripod, vertical, lens at her eye level.
  2. Prompter screen touching it, directly under the lens. Leave Text sits: by the lens on.
  3. Back her up to about six feet. The further back she stands, the less anyone can tell she is reading.
  4. Turn brightness down until the screen stops throwing light on her face.
  5. Tap anywhere to move to the next line. One beat, one take. Pause two seconds before and after each line so it cuts clean.
On a beam splitter rig turn Mirror on. Do not read it word for word. Glance, look back at the lens, say it in her own words.
