Lens-Level Polish: Why Teleprompters Create Professional-Looking Videos

For executives, engineers, clinicians, and sales leaders who don’t live on camera, a teleprompter is the fastest path to polished delivery. It doesn’t make people sound robotic—poor setup and coaching do. With the right script, optics, and operator, a teleprompter frees your talent to focus on presence while your brand stays on message.

Why Teleprompters Work (For Non-Actors, Too)

  • Cognitive relief: No memorization. Working memory goes to tone, pace, and connection.
  • Message fidelity: Brand, legal, and technical language are delivered accurately.
  • Schedule control: Fewer restarts and pickups reduce crew hours and room time.
  • Consistency at scale: Multiple speakers, one voice—ideal for product lines and multi-market rollouts.

Best Use Cases

  • Leadership announcements and culture messages
  • Product explainers and regulated claims
  • Training modules and onboarding
  • Fundraising and investor updates
  • Multi-language/localized content (script-first translation)

Script Engineering: Write for the Mouth, Not the Page

  • Pacing: 120–140 words per minute for non-professional talent; shorten dense sentences.
  • Structure: One idea per sentence. Favor active voice and concrete nouns.
  • Readability: Sentence case, short lines, generous line breaks; avoid all caps in body copy.
  • Pronunciation: Add phonetics for jargon and names (e.g., “biologics (bye-oh-LAH-jiks)”).
  • Performance cues: Light markers—[beat], [smile], [gesture small], [hold]—to shape cadence.
  • Two versions: A Full script for complete info and a Tight script for time-boxed reads.
  • Compliance: Lock “do-not-change” claims early and highlight them for the operator.

Optics & Lighting That Flatter Prompter Reads

  • Lens choice: Full-frame 85–135mm (or 50–85mm on Super35) to compress micro eye movement.
  • Camera distance: Back the camera up; use longer focal length to maintain intimacy without eye drift.
  • Prompter glass size: Larger beamsplitter for slower readers—less visible eye travel.
  • Brightness balance: Match prompter luminance to key light to avoid squinting and reflections.
  • Eyeglasses: Slightly tilt prompter glass and adjust key/fill angles to eliminate double-reflections.
  • Line of sight: Align copy to the optical center of the lens—1–2 inches off looks “shifty.”

Coaching: Natural Over “Newsreader”

  • Warm-ups: Two fast “throwaway” takes to lift energy and settle nerves.
  • Thought chunking: One idea per breath; operator pauses at commas and resumes on the inhale.
  • Eye focus: “Look through the lens, not at the words.” We place the lens behind the copy’s focal area.
  • Hands & posture: Ground stance, unlock knees, invite purposeful hand movement in-frame.
  • Energy ladder: Record passes at 90%, 100%, and 110% intensity; select per brand tone.
  • Safety takes: One conversational paraphrase for authenticity, one precise read for compliance.

The Operator: Your Hidden Superpower

A dedicated prompter operator (separate from camera and director) listens, anticipates, and rides speed/emphasis live. They also:

  • Manage last-minute script updates and create section bookmarks
  • Insert visual signposts (— dashes, • bullets) to cue phrasing
  • Coordinate with sound for breath-friendly pacing and with gaffer for glare control

Remote, Live, and Hybrid Setups

  • Remote executives: Compact camera-mounted prompter with return video for live eyeline coaching.
  • Webinars & keynotes: Confidence monitors near lens; headlines in the prompter keep presenters off slide-reading.
  • Field shoots: Lightweight units for mobile crews; battery-backed tablets as contingency.
  • AI assists (pre-production): Timing forecasts, readability passes, and pronunciation maps to set scroll targets.

When Not to Teleprompt (Or When to Go Hybrid)

  • Emotion-first testimonials: Use guided beats instead of verbatim lines.
  • Rapid dialog or banter: Bullet prompts or IFB ear cues often play more naturally.
  • Hands-on demos: Teleprompt for open/close; let the demo breathe with beat-level notes.

Risk Management & Compliance

  • Route scripts through brand/legal before shoot day; highlight locked lines.
  • Capture a clean “compliance take” with slower pace and clear enunciation.
  • Pre-plan captions and translations at the script stage to avoid post compromises.

What Decision Makers Can Measure

  • Retake reduction: Lower crew hours and studio rental time
  • Fewer approvals cycles: Pre-approved language plus accurate reads
  • Message consistency: Cross-functional alignment across regions and teams
  • Asset reuse: Script-aligned captions, cutdowns, and social snippets delivered faster

Troubleshooting Quick Hits

  • Looks like “reading”: Increase glass size, back the camera up, bump focal length, slow scroll.
  • Glare on glasses: Adjust key angle, dim prompter, add polarizer if needed.
  • Eye drift: Re-center copy; ensure talent stands square to lens.
  • Tripping over jargon: Add phonetics; split long nouns across lines.
  • Tech failure: Keep a synced tablet backup and printed Tight script on set.

Producer Checklist

Pre-Production

  • Lock Full + Tight scripts; add phonetics and performance cues
  • Approve claims/legal language; highlight “do-not-change” lines
  • Book large-glass unit and dedicated operator for long or technical copy
  • Choose lens package (85–135mm FF equivalent); build lighting plan for anti-glare
  • Schedule 20 minutes per speaker for warm-ups

On Set

  • Match prompter brightness to key; confirm eyeline alignment with a 20–30s test read
  • Run two high-energy throwaways; capture keeper takes at natural pace
  • Record paraphrase (authenticity) and compliance (precision) passes
  • Slate sections for easy post assembly and caption sync

Post

  • Generate captions directly from final script (no drift)
  • Deliver vertical/square cutdowns using script-aligned hooks
  • Archive scripts, approvals, and pronunciation notes for future sessions

Sample Script Excerpt (Prompter-Friendly)

[smile] “If your team makes great products but struggles to tell the story on camera, there’s a fix. A pro teleprompter lets real people sound like themselves—while staying perfectly on message.” [beat] “Today, I’ll show you how we standardize delivery across teams without draining calendars.” [gesture small] “Let’s get started.”

Making Your Clients Shine: Tips for Testimonial and B-roll Shoots

In the world of video production, testimonials and B-roll footage are two of the most impactful ways to showcase your brand and its value. When done correctly, they can help build trust with your audience, promote your services, and even drive conversions. However, to truly make your clients shine on camera, it requires more than just a camera and a willing participant. Professional guidance, planning, and the right equipment are essential to making these pieces of content not only look good but also resonate with viewers. Here’s how you can make the most of your testimonial and B-roll shoots to deliver polished and engaging video content for your business.

The Power of Testimonial Videos

Testimonial videos are among the most effective ways to share your brand’s story from the perspective of those who matter most—your clients. A well-crafted testimonial can bring authenticity and relatability to your business, helping potential customers connect emotionally with your brand. However, a strong testimonial doesn’t just happen—it requires careful planning and execution.

1. Pre-Shoot Preparation

Before you even pick up the camera, the most important step is preparing your clients and the environment. Clients should feel comfortable and confident on camera. Make sure they understand the purpose of the video and the message you want to convey. An effective testimonial isn’t just about what your clients say, but how they say it.

  • Pre-Shoot Questions: Prepare open-ended questions that prompt authentic responses. Avoid yes/no questions, as they may result in flat or scripted answers.
  • Rehearsals: Allow your client time to rehearse, but keep the tone conversational. This isn’t a performance—authenticity is key.
  • Environment: Select a location with minimal distractions and great natural lighting. If you’re shooting indoors, ensure the space is clean and tidy, as this will help the focus stay on the client.

2. Perfecting the Lighting and Sound

Lighting and sound are critical when it comes to testimonial videos. Poor lighting can cast shadows or create harsh highlights, while bad sound quality can make your video hard to follow. Professional lighting helps highlight your client’s face and emotions, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

At St. Louis Video, we specialize in setting up lighting that flatters the subject while maintaining a natural feel. Whether we’re shooting in our private studio or on location, we ensure that your client looks their best. The right lighting setup can also help convey your brand’s tone—whether that’s warm and approachable or sleek and professional.

Sound is just as important. Without clear audio, even the best visuals won’t matter. Use high-quality microphones to capture every word. We use wireless lapel microphones for interviews and shotgun mics to minimize background noise, ensuring that the testimonial’s message is crystal clear.

3. Interview Setup and Framing

The framing of your shot is essential for creating an engaging testimonial video. A close-up shot focuses on the speaker’s facial expressions, which adds authenticity and emotional weight to the message. On the other hand, a medium shot can introduce a more dynamic background or add visual interest.

At St. Louis Video, we specialize in setting up custom interview studios, whether it’s a simple background or a more elaborate setup that includes props, logos, or branding elements. We understand how to frame your clients in the best possible way, ensuring they look and sound amazing on camera.

The Importance of B-roll Footage

While testimonials provide the heart and soul of your video, B-roll footage is what adds richness, context, and engagement. B-roll refers to supplementary footage that supports the story your testimonial is telling, providing viewers with more visual and emotional context. It helps break up the monotony of a talking head video, making the final product more dynamic and engaging.

1. Show, Don’t Tell

B-roll footage is an opportunity to visually show what’s being talked about. For example, if your client talks about how your product made their work more efficient, show them using the product in a real-life scenario. This not only supports their words but helps demonstrate the value of your product or service.

When capturing B-roll, think about the story you want to tell and the emotions you want to evoke. For a testimonial about a fitness program, for instance, shots of the client working out, using equipment, or smiling after a session can create a deeper connection with your audience.

2. Capture Details

Sometimes, the beauty of B-roll lies in the details. Close-up shots of hands working on a product, the face of a client enjoying a service, or your team in action add layers of depth to your video. These small moments make the final video feel more intimate and relatable.

3. Plan B-Roll Around the Story

While shooting testimonials, think about the B-roll you’ll need to illustrate the points being made. Planning your B-roll around the main content ensures that you’ll have the shots you need to complete the narrative. Work closely with your client to determine which aspects of their story should be highlighted visually.

The Best Types of Marketing Videos to Boost Your Sales and Convert Viewers into Buyers

In today’s competitive business environment, compelling video content is no longer optional—it’s essential. Businesses that utilize high-quality, purpose-driven videos enjoy stronger engagement, higher conversion rates, and better brand retention. As decision makers overseeing your company’s marketing strategy, understanding what types of videos drive results can help you maximize ROI and grow your customer base.

Here’s a strategic breakdown of the most effective video types designed to boost sales:


1. Product Demo Videos

Purpose: Show how your product works in action
Why it Works: 90% of users say that product videos help them make buying decisions. A professionally shot demonstration video builds trust, explains product features clearly, and reduces hesitation in the buyer’s journey.
Best Use: Website product pages, Amazon listings, sales presentations, or onboarding support.


2. Customer Testimonial Videos

Purpose: Build credibility through authentic customer voices
Why it Works: Social proof is one of the most powerful marketing tools. Video testimonials provide emotional resonance and real-world proof that your service delivers results.
Best Use: Landing pages, social media ads, proposal decks, and follow-up emails to prospects.


3. Explainer Videos

Purpose: Simplify complex ideas or processes
Why it Works: Explainer videos use clear visuals, narration, and motion graphics to distill complicated services or technologies. These are particularly effective for software, consulting, and B2B companies.
Best Use: Homepages, tradeshow screens, and YouTube channels.


4. Branded Storytelling Videos

Purpose: Connect emotionally and build brand loyalty
Why it Works: People remember stories, not stats. A narrative-driven brand video that showcases your mission, values, or history helps customers form a long-term emotional bond with your company.
Best Use: “About Us” sections, investor presentations, recruitment tools, and social media.


5. Behind-the-Scenes or Company Culture Videos

Purpose: Humanize your brand
Why it Works: Audiences crave authenticity. These videos showcase your team, your work environment, or how your services are delivered. It builds rapport and sets your business apart from faceless competitors.
Best Use: LinkedIn, recruiting platforms, and corporate presentations.


6. Short-Form Social Media Videos

Purpose: Engage fast-scrolling audiences on mobile
Why it Works: Platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok reward bite-sized, engaging video content. These videos are ideal for promotions, tips, or teaser campaigns that lead back to longer content or sales funnels.
Best Use: Brand awareness, influencer marketing, and seasonal promotions.


7. Event Recap or Highlight Videos

Purpose: Extend the impact of your events
Why it Works: Conferences, product launches, and trade shows cost time and money—video helps you get ongoing value from those investments. Highlight reels and recaps can be reused in future marketing materials or shared with those who missed the event.
Best Use: Email campaigns, blogs, and annual reports.


Why Quality Matters: Production Value = Perception Value

A professionally produced video reflects directly on the quality of your business. Poor lighting, shaky footage, bad audio, or inconsistent messaging can harm your brand more than help it. Working with a full-service production company ensures that your video tells the right story in the right way, with cinematic polish and strategic intent.

Keep It Real: When Location Interviews Win Over Studios

In today’s media-saturated landscape, authenticity is the new currency. Consumers are more skeptical than ever of overly produced content that feels disconnected from real experiences. For businesses and organizations looking to connect meaningfully with their audience, location-based interviews have emerged as a powerful tool to convey honesty, culture, and credibility—sometimes even outperforming traditional studio setups.

The Power of Authentic Environments

While studio interviews offer a controlled setting with optimal lighting and acoustics, they can sometimes come across as overly polished or generic. A location interview—conducted in an office, facility, job site, or other real-world setting—immediately lends context and believability to the story. Audiences get a glimpse into the working environment, which helps establish trust and reinforce brand identity. Whether it’s an architect discussing a design at a construction site or a healthcare provider sharing a patient story in a clinic, the environment becomes a character in the narrative.

Capturing Candidness and Comfort

Many subjects feel more relaxed and natural in familiar surroundings. Studio lighting, large cameras, and boom mics can intimidate non-actors. But when someone is interviewed in their own space—be it a conference room, lab, or shop floor—they’re more likely to speak comfortably and confidently. That realness translates directly on camera, creating testimonials and interviews that feel human, heartfelt, and trustworthy.

Flexibility and Visual Impact

Location interviews also provide a dynamic range of visuals. B-roll opportunities abound, offering engaging cutaway shots that help illustrate the message and maintain audience interest. Instead of adding artificial props or fabricated backdrops, your brand’s real story is framed by its own environment. It’s not just what’s said that matters—it’s what’s seen.

When Location Isn’t Ideal

Of course, there are moments when studios win: controlled sound, professional lighting, custom backdrops, and privacy. Studio setups are often the best option for scripted videos, training content, or interviews that require numerous takes. However, for marketing-driven interviews, customer testimonials, or employee stories—especially when relatability is key—a location shoot often delivers more impact.

Hybrid Approaches: The Best of Both Worlds

At St Louis Video, we often recommend a hybrid strategy—interview on location, then bring select elements into the studio for follow-up visuals, voiceovers, or explainer segments. This ensures continuity in quality while maximizing the authenticity of the message.


Why Choose St Louis Video for Your Interview Production?

At St Louis Video, we understand the nuance of choosing the right setting for every interview. As a full-service professional commercial photography and video production company, we offer the equipment, experience, and creative insight necessary for high-impact interviews—whether on-site, in-studio, or both.

We provide:

  • Full-service studio and location video and photography
  • Expert editing and post-production
  • Licensed drone pilots for aerial context and dynamic visuals
  • Custom-built interview setups with lighting, sound, and camera operators

  • AI-enhanced media services for maximum efficiency and adaptability
  • Expertise in repurposing your photography and video branding to reach broader audiences

Should You Script Testimonials? What Experts Say

In the world of corporate video production, testimonial videos have become a cornerstone of marketing strategy. A well-crafted testimonial can build trust, enhance credibility, and provide social proof to potential customers. However, a common question arises in the production process: Should testimonial videos be scripted?

Spontaneous responses often contain genuine emotion that resonates more strongly with viewers than a carefully crafted script.

The Argument for Scripting Testimonials

Some professionals argue that scripting testimonial videos ensures a polished and coherent message. Here are a few benefits of scripting:

  1. Consistency in Messaging – A script ensures that key selling points and brand messaging are clearly communicated. This prevents testimonials from veering off-topic or becoming too long-winded.
  2. Professionalism – A structured script can make a video appear more polished and well-produced, giving the impression of a high-quality production that aligns with a company’s brand standards.
  3. Legal and Compliance Requirements – In industries that require careful wording due to legal considerations, a script can help avoid liability issues and ensure accuracy.
  4. Time Efficiency – Testimonial recordings can be streamlined when participants know exactly what to say, reducing production time and post-production editing.

The Argument Against Scripting Testimonials

On the other hand, many video production experts advocate for an unscripted, natural approach. Here’s why:

  1. Authenticity – Customers and clients value authenticity. When testimonials feel overly scripted, they may come across as rehearsed and insincere, diminishing their impact.
  2. Emotional Connection – Spontaneous responses often contain genuine emotion that resonates more strongly with viewers than a carefully crafted script.
  3. Engagement and Relatability – Viewers are more likely to trust and connect with a person who speaks naturally and in their own words rather than reading off a script.
  4. Improvisation Leads to Unique Insights – An unscripted testimonial allows clients to express their experiences in a personal and memorable way that might not be captured in a rigid script.

The Best of Both Worlds: A Guided Approach

Rather than choosing between fully scripted or entirely spontaneous testimonials, the most effective approach is often a hybrid method:

  1. Provide Talking Points – Instead of a verbatim script, offer key points that guide the testimonial in the right direction while allowing natural expression.
  2. Pre-Interview Discussions – Before filming, discuss the main message with the participant so they feel prepared but not overly rehearsed.
  3. Multiple Takes – Allow multiple takes to capture the best version of the testimonial while keeping the delivery natural and engaging.
  4. Skilled Editing – In post-production, skilled editors can refine the footage to highlight the most compelling moments while maintaining authenticity.

How St Louis Video Can Help You Capture the Perfect Testimonial

Why Your Team Needs Ongoing Training Videos: Boosting Productivity, Engagement, and Success

In today’s fast-paced business environment, the need for ongoing training is more important than ever. For organizations to remain competitive, it’s essential to ensure that employees have the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding to succeed in their roles. Training videos are a powerful tool in achieving this, providing an engaging, scalable, and efficient way to train employees on an ongoing basis.

Ongoing training also allows employees to stay ahead of industry trends, sharpen their skills, and adapt to new technologies or workflows, all of which are critical for long-term success.

1. Enhancing Employee Engagement and Retention

Training videos help improve employee engagement by offering an interactive and visually stimulating experience. Rather than relying on traditional training methods such as printed manuals or in-person lectures, which can be monotonous, video-based training keeps employees’ attention with dynamic visuals, real-world examples, and relatable scenarios.

Employees are more likely to retain information when it is presented through a combination of visuals and narration. This makes training videos a perfect tool for conveying complex processes or product information in an easy-to-understand and memorable way. Additionally, they are an ideal solution for remote teams or employees with different learning styles, providing flexibility and accessibility for continuous learning.

2. Cost-Effective and Scalable

Developing in-person training sessions for large teams can be costly and time-consuming. Travel expenses, booking a trainer, and organizing the logistics can add up quickly. With training videos, companies can create a one-time investment in content that can be used repeatedly, eliminating the need for costly recurring sessions. Once created, training videos can be accessed anytime, from anywhere, reducing the costs associated with in-person events and allowing organizations to scale training across teams or even global locations.

3. Customizable for Specific Training Needs

Another significant advantage of using training videos is the ability to tailor them to meet specific business needs. Training videos can cover a wide range of topics, from company policies and software tutorials to product demonstrations and safety procedures. Whether you need an overview for new hires or specialized training for a particular department, video content can be customized to address unique challenges and learning goals.

Moreover, video training can be periodically updated to reflect new processes, policies, or products, ensuring that employees are always up to date. Unlike printed training materials that may quickly become outdated, video training allows companies to respond to changes swiftly and cost-effectively.

4. Tracking Progress and Measuring Effectiveness

With modern video platforms and learning management systems (LMS), tracking employee progress and measuring the effectiveness of training is easier than ever. You can monitor how much content employees have completed, how long they engaged with the video, and even assess their retention through integrated quizzes and surveys. This data-driven approach allows companies to continuously improve their training programs and ensure that employees are meeting the desired learning outcomes.

5. Promoting a Continuous Learning Culture

Training is not a one-time event; it should be an ongoing process. By implementing a system of regular training videos, companies can foster a culture of continuous learning. Employees will come to expect and look forward to regular updates, keeping them engaged and motivated to improve their skills. Ongoing training also allows employees to stay ahead of industry trends, sharpen their skills, and adapt to new technologies or workflows, all of which are critical for long-term success.
