Interrotrons Errol Morris, award winning documentarian, invented the Interrotron.  It consists of two units, each a modified teleprompter.  The “Talent Unit” pictured above lets the person being interviewed see the face of the interviewer in front of the camera lens.  Similarly,  the “Director’s Unit allows the director/interviewer to see the face of the talent through the lens of the main camera.  (The director and his Interrotron Unit are usually placed slightly off stage in video village). This process puts the talent at ease by looking into a human face instead of a cold camera lens. It also maintains correct eye lines. 450

So, the director and talent have a “conversation” by looking into each others’ faces.  When dealing with children or non professional actors  the Interrotron System can not only sped the shoot up dramatically but result in substantially improved results.

The Presidential Prompter

Presidential Teleprompter

The Presidential Prompter System is designed for corporate conferences or other events where a speaker is addressing an audience. When erected, the prompting system resembles a mic stand with a piece of glass attached to the top of it. From the audience’s perspective, the high quality prompter glass is transparent, giving the impression that the presenter is speaking fluently and professionally without any assistance. From the presenter perspective, the glass displays a mirror image of the per-prepared speech from the LCD monitor at the base of the stand. Executive Speech Coaches use the Presidential Prompter to great advantage.

Can't stop won't stop - Adrienne here with another fun video!

Good morning Blog Buddies! It’s not quite dawn here on the west coast but I’m not sleeping- I think it’s the residual excitement from our shooting this weekend – AMC West and Oraculum Media partnered up to produce the pilot of a new sci-fi series titled “the Forsaken” and it was a long couple of days but so much fun. I’ll be able to share more details with you later this week, but for now I wanted to pass long to you this VERY entertaining video created by the students of Coventry University demonstrating (for your enjoyment) how the auto cue system works!

I just wanted to take a quick moment and talk about how very easy it is for a shoot to go wrong. A faulty cord, a tired A-list talent, or even a unexpected rain storm can cause your day to go from having a profit to being over budget. We all know that loosing money is a big deal these days. I think you would agree that loosing Clients is a bigger one.

That is why you should give American Movie Company a try. There are so many companies out there competing for your business, but none of them can compete with us! From Burbank to Paris, we are your best choice. Here are a couple of reasons why!

Tricaster training with AMC

Adrienne here with more Tricaster related antics!

Greetings blog buddies! It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been on the blog – lots of action on both coasts has kept me hopping. But thankfully, our head of West Coast operations, my colleague Tom, has given me a moment to catch my breath at today’s Tricaster Training Class.  Have you ever thought about learning how to operate one of Newtek’s new model tricasters? Me too! Even if you know alot about the streaming process, operating the tricaster is a whole new world – lucky for us Tom is a master of the tricaster  and has been a certified trainer for ages now. And now that AMC West has partnered with Absolute Rentals in Santa Monica Tom has been providing training in Tricaster Operation for select clients.

The best part of American Movie Company West is our ability to work on a last minute notices. When Keynote speaker of the 9th annual Themed Entertainment Association and DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg couldn’t make the awards ceremony, the TEA called us.

Within an hour we were in Burbank on the majestic DreamWorks Campus, Set-up and ready to go. Jeffrey walked in and in five takes had finished his speech. A real Pro and wonderful man, I was thrilled to get to work with him.
