I took a reverse picture of the set this time to show off my versatility. There aren’t many teleprompter operators that will go to the lengths that I have to provide two additional monitors for the talent to look at. This is an example of the experience and professionalism I bring to the table when hired.

I love the set design for this shoot but wasn’t a big fan of the location. This took place in a dusty, cold, and abandoned Lemp Brewery, in which we had to lug all our gear up a couple flights of stairs. It was all worth it though! I came through on this one with my tripod, which rarely gets used. They mounted the camera on a high hat but the tripod head screw they were using was too long. Luckily, my tripod has a shorter screw and worked perfectly. Did I mention I have tripod to go with my rental kit that is rated for up to 50 pounds? You do now.

This is the second weekend of a three weekend shoot for me. On day two of this weekend, the talent got up and moved around while reading the script. I brought in a second monitor to read off of when he wasn’t looking directly at the camera. This location was done at a Frank Lloyd Wright house and the space was rather cramped. With it being so cramped, the best photo I could manage was of the camera monitor, and Anne. Sorry Anne for the close up of you!

This was day one, at least for me, of a five day shoot spread out over three weekends. I’d have to say this is one of the most interesting shoots I have ever been on. I’m still not fully sure what it is for? I think a graphic novel promotion? This first day was shot at the Globe with my teleprompter system mounted on a dolly.

I’m always down for a traveling job as you can see by this job done in Peoria. I seem to make the trip to Peoria quite often but I’m willing to go just about anywhere if needed. This job was for Caterpillar, and I believe it was an addition to a job from a year ago when I spent a week in Peoria.

I get around 15 days a year working for the Busch Communication Network so I appreciate everything they’ve done for me. The BCN does internal videos for Anheuser Busch. I was trying to hold off on posting this until I could get a shot of Sandy Miller on set, but alas it looks like that won’t happen for awhile. The interesting thing about BCN is how a lot of the teleprompter work I do for them is remotely. I’m in the studio, but do a share screen through Zoom and the talent can read it and record from home.

I was a utility for the Cards last series of the 2022 season against the Pirates. It was a great weekend as I got to see Pujols and Molina’s pregame honoring ceremony. As much as I enjoy doing teleprompter work, I also enjoy taking these jobs to fill in my off days.

Teleprompter work at Spot’s studio for Avatar. I had worked on this project the previous year at the Avatar Studio, which they no longer have so they are doing it at Spot now. This was a short one day shoot as they were updating some of the content for the 2023 year.

Here is another job I was on at Vision Tracks. I was a grip on this one but I like showing some of the other jobs I work on.

I once again made my way to Peoria for a political commercial. This one had me using my teleprompter system on a dana dolly for a short move. For anyone wondering; yes I will travel farther than this.

Here is a view of my teleprompter back stage work station for a live Evernorth event. I’ve worked for them so many times, normally on location, so it was nice to be at a live event for a change.

I’ve been a lifelong Cardinals fans and it is exciting for me to be able to work at Busch Stadium. While technically, I was working for the Cubs during the series, it was still a great opportunity. To demonstrate my love for the birds, I’m currently on a mission to see them play in every ballpark, and after April of next year, I’ll only have one park remaining.

Live event for Baby Lock with multiple scripts for different speakers.

This is another look at the Car Shield shoot with the talent this time being Dylan Carlson.

Here is a behind the scenes of a recent commercial shoot for Car Shield. If you watch the games or local TV, you’ve more than likely seen the spot.

This is from one day working at the Ritz Carlton for a live show. The keynote speaker, Kathy Najimy from movies like Sister Act and Hocus Pocus, was super nice and a real joy to work with. Pictured on stage is me!

I have two days running teleprompter for the people at Mastercard. The talent wanted to change most of the script on the fly so I needed to type quick to be able to keep up. She asked me if I could type fast. I told I could totally type fast. I can type a lot of other words too. That dialog didn’t actually occur but it did happen in my brain, so that counts, right?
