Im finding your videos all over the place man. First the GH4 review, now the teleprompter. Keep up the good work!

Here's a tip I've learned from work. Have no more than 3 words per line to minimize your eye movement.

@@marianomontiel You're right, eye contact is the key to build trust with your viewers, and I have experienced using slides in a teleprompter is definitive guide to keep eye contact because you always have the whole concept in front of camera, but you would have to mirror-flip the slides with PPT Mirror tool.

@live4mac, Before making my own, I drew inspiration from a lot of other DIY prompter builds on KZread, yours included. Thanks for producing your video, and for being an Indy Mogul fan! I'm glad we could learn from each other!

Just finished building my teleprompter and I am really impressed. Love that you showed us how to build it step by step. Just starting my video venture and looking forward to learning more on your channel. GREAT JOB!!!

This was great! This was incredibly helpful, and more practical than a prop/costume diy. I'm thrilled to see this type of content up on IndyMogul again, keep up the great work!

One of the best DIY teleprompter tutorials around. Going to follow your instructions, which were very clear. Thanks!

Way slicker than a lot of other indy mogul stuff, I've never seen you before either. Quality and cheap is what we like!

I had drawn up an idea for a free-standing holder for my iPad as a prompter, but I like your idea of mounting it to the tripod and camera much better. Thanks for sharing this.

Awesome job Griffin. I really like how you made this tutorial informative, but still entertaining and fun to watch. The teleprompter looked great and it really helped keeping a connection with the person watching instead of doing a lot of jump cuts or looking away from the camera while talking. You're off to a great start just remember keep indymogul informative but fun, because the more fun you have making a video deffinately comes accross to the viewer. Happy Holidays -Larry

I am so glad Indy Mogul is back. This is the best christmas gift ever!

Barely finished mine and the video quality behind the teleprompter looks amazing. Thanks Griffin.

This is pretty awesome! I'm excited to have you as the new host of whatever this tutorial show will be called. You've got a nice style, keep up the good work!

Griffin, awesome build dude!!! now im planning on making this!!! and btw thx for the descriptive details on the description box!! now it's easier for me to understand what to do and such

Wow! I'm surprised on many levels. This is the first time I've seen a diy teleprompter and, I must say, it works amazingly well. It's been a long time since we've seen a diy build from Indy Mogul. It's not BFX, but it definitely lives up to the original by offering movie-making tech on the cheap. Outstanding job. =)

Great. I specially thank you for the final tests, it really gives a grasp on the differences.

This is the best solution I've seen, I was surprised this video was this old, it has aged very well. I'm going to repurpose a Glide Gear teleprompter (which is too janky for my druthers) and use the glass from it within a design like yours. I'm not using it as a teleprompter, but rather as an additional monitor that will be directly in line with my camera (a la dslr video shooter's design).

Big thanks for this video. I just finished building mine. I made a couple of changes. Instead of using dowels, I used threaded rod with some threaded wood inserts. On the ends of the threaded rod I put some rubber stops. I did this to give myself a little bit of adjustability. I also used some sima quickconnects to make things easier. Great build.

I was a little skeptical with having a new host. But I think this video proves that IndyMogul is still alive :) Beautiful build Griffin! I don't need one but you did a great job. To answer your question, my mom got me a Motion Slider.

Sir, that is totally brilliant. I will definitely be giving this a go. If I may also say without wanting to sound patronising, you have a great presentation style. Very engaging.

perfect How-to video, informative, fun and I like how you showed alternatives on how to build it....just great.......can't wait to see more...

@millertime83, The software, Prompt Light, controls it. You could set it to one speed, or control it manually. My wife helped me out with much of it.

Yes! Diy builds are back!

Not only was that a great build, but Griffin, you actually made that song listenable! Good job!

Omg love the new Indy mogul! You should keep doing shows about diy camera gear! No one has a show like that!

Good job. I like the way you listened to the fans and gave us a DIY episode but kept it practical,

That is THE BEST and simplest design I have seen for a strudy looking teleprompter. This one, I will go with. I opted to seek beam-splitter for use in brighter situations and you need the contrast for the talent. EBAY has some good sellers and at a lower cost than a specialized teleprompter shop. Thanks, David

Just did this for my iPad Air 2 and it works great. I only had to buy a frame and wood, I already had two stand. Thanks so much for this. I'm finally using that iPad box I held on to. I did it a bit different by just cutting, a whole out of the top, slightly smaller than the picture frame hole.

Thanks for the informative video, and the use of lyrics in your testing demonstration is a great example of why I haven't listened to pop music since I was a teenager. : )

Thank you for the review, A teleprompter helps a ton, I have experienced difference between using Script and Slides is the eye contact and sounding natural execution, slides leads because you don't read word for word and the advantage is you always have the whole concept in mind therefore its a definitive guide that keeps you maintaining eye contact and sound natural on camera.

That was awesome! I'm excited for the future of IndyMogul!

Real Sharp Chap! Thank you very much for your informative shows! you've very helpful to the community!

I'm a new subscriber and a huge fan. You are extremely informative and cover every aspect. Thanks so much for sharing and looking forward to your future videos.

Loved this. I am new to it all, and wasn't even sure what a teleprompter was, just that I needed one.

I love this! I hope there will be more BFX type videos in the future. You're a great host, Griffin!

Great video, thanks! I end up making a lot of my own studio equipment for the University I work at and the teleprompter issue recently came up since we have a lot of non professional talent who have difficulty memorizing lines or ad libbing. This was very helpful and I will be putting it to use soon! Thanks again!

welcome back indy mogul! Oh yeah and for Christmas I got a 50mm lens, a dolly tripod adapter and a shoulder stabilizer rig!

So, is Indy Mogul back? This was a fantastic build I must say. I was looking at making a news show myself and a teleprompter would be a fantastic time saver. Great build guys! I really hope you keep the show going

Excellent Griffin,,, the breath of fresh air is here.

I like this guy....he's bringing back indymogl. He's kept my sub

A little tip that might help with your eye tracking issues at closer ranges...if possible, set the justification of the text to "center" instead of "left". It will keep your eyes more centered and make the eye movement less noticeable while reading off the teleprompter. Let me know if this helps any of you out there get better quality!

@Fucas101, I'd looked to other DIY designs for inspiration, but yeah, this design is my own. I wondered why no one else had used a wood picture frame-that provides most of the necessary structure in one item.

Thanks for spending the time to share a really good solution.

I think you just revived Indy Mogul in one swift upload. Good job Griffin, keep it up.

THATS SO AWESOME!! NICE JOB GRIFFIN!!

That’s one small step for the fans but one giant leap for Indy Mogul. btw nice build, the prompter makes a huge difference.. I like it! :D

Great as always Griffin. And as for my Christmas equipment, I received HitFilm Ultimate. I'm loving it!

I received the canon holga pinhole lens and the 50mm 1.8 for my 600D, two great presents that I was so happy to get :) I used to ask eric to do videos that are actually useful, not props that most people don't need or want, so thanks for doing this build, can't wait to see what other DIY builds you can come up with. - Red Spectrum Pictures

Great device Griffin!! I'll get to it this weekend!

This is why I subed to indymogul, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT BACK!

Holy cow this video was so far ahead of its time. It’s still looks great 10 years later!

I definitely need a teleprompter for my shots. I have been going by memory for my vids. this will make a huge improvement for me. Thanks!

@Power1Productions1, Sweet! Have fun!

@forensicdrew, You're right; I noticed the same thing.

great work, very creative and efficient.

@U83RTV, That's quite the present! Have fun!

@queenofcrows, I was never taught to, but you're right; OSHA recommends safety gloves when operating power tools.

YES YES YES, much better than last week!

Very Nice. Thanks for your great work in this video

I did not realize that teleprompters were filmed through. I always figured they were just there to replace the guy with the giant posterboard cue cards! (Which, is probably still a side effect.). So, I learned something extra ontop of what you were already teaching! Nice work!

I'm no video making master but imo, you've put a lot of effort into making that video. Simple and to the point and well narrated. Nice job. I'm building that very teleprompter with a couple of changes. Where the dowl rods are, mine will be adjustable to fine tweak the angle. Thanks for all your effort with that.

Nice video! Keep it up! P.S I love how you read the script on Friday.

Thank you very much for your how to make a cheap Teleprompter !

Awesome video, glad I didn't unsubscribe from Indy Mogul.

this is the oldest video I found about DIY teleprompters, and the only one that does a field test showing the final result ad different distances from the camera!

this is well good, bring back the indy mogul i love and miss!

@VarietyShop, Besides the sound, it's nice adding a mic to your HDSLR-people know you're shooting video, so they stop posing for photos!

Great build idea! Thank a lot for sharing!

@BIPICY, I don't know. If it's clear and reflective, it should do the job.

@LBenderProductions, Nice, I love a fast prime lens!

This is very helpful for our channel. Using this for sure. Liked and subscibed. Excited to see your futrure content!

Love how 11 years later this video still holds up! ❤️

@LiveThisLifeStudios, Thanks Larry!

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE BRINGING THE CHEAP FX BACK!!! but seriously, we want the bfx theme tune aswell.

Excellent video style, very informative.

Thanks, awesome video, excellent quality and very informative content...

I think that this may be the best Christmas present I got, I mean other than my new canon vixia HF R100, that shoots full 1080p HD, a big step up from my old panosonic that used cassettes. Thanks Griffin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blooming eck. Professional stuff on a budget. I have iprompt on my iPhone which I place just above the lens sitting on the cowling of my cannon xha1 Works well. Like the idea of the construction though. Thanks for sharing James

This is so cool; I would have never thought of building a teleprompter.

Interesting project. I might try this. Thanks.

New sub! Just watched your telepromptor and softlight videos! That was so good :) both relatively cheap! - Neil

@TheHanderon, I know. I didn't expect it to be that dramatic of a difference.

Just got a teleprompter from telepromptermirrors dot something or other. But I'm going to build the base as per this video. Thanks very much Griffin!

Great build, great tutorial.

It's true you will always get somewhat of a double image with regular glass.I started out using a triple thick piece of glass on a darkroom proof frame and I was using a small thin serif font. When I changed to regular glass and a large san serif font it all worked.

Old but gold!

Awesome, I am really going to try this out. Thanks a lot.

That was really interesting! Thanks for the build!

Great build. Actually very useful.

I like the build keep them coming.

You are my HERO! My teleprompting HERO! Thanks so much for this! BRILLIANT!

Absolutely brilliant!

Amazing editing, amazing content. Amazing.

amazing video for a great project!

Almost 70,000 views and only 8 dislikes. Funny - even when I KNEW you were using the teleprompter, it still seemed like you were 'talking to me'. You've helped me make my mind up; I'm going to build one of these cool contraptions! Many thanks!

Best DIY yet!

Looks better then the other teleprompter DIY tutorials on KZread.

Thankyou so much for this video! Just created my own teleprompter from your video. Slightly less elegant than yours, but that's just my skill with tools :)

Excellent!!! Teleprompters are always good.

Thank you for this. Super helpful.

indy mogul is back alive again
