I got to prompt at Carnegie Hall for Julie Andrews
Let me say that again, Julie Andrews!!!
Okay, that's Carnegie Hall, not Julie Andrews.
But wait, Carnegie Hall? Yeah. You, lucky reader, are seeing what the performers at that legendary space see. Breathe it in.
Once again I find myself in the strange place. A place where I am thrilled to be on stage, but it's bitter sweet. You see life as [...]
Baz Luhrmann and the Tripod of Doom!
Yeah, I said it, Baz Luhrmann and an Over Zealous Tripod
We get a last minute call for a prompter gig. That's right, we take last minute calls. Do you need a teleprompter tomorrow and haven't scheduled one? Did your last have to cancel on you? Yeah, we got you. We do that.
ALL THE TIME
.
Not to toot our own horn, but seriously, we've gotten calls at 11 PM [...]
Uma Thurman gained my respect.
And I'm not just dropping celebrity names here to get recognition. Uma Thurman
Well, maybe I am dropping names. Just a little.
Oh come on. This is a Video Production Blog from a Teleprompter Operator. I can only talk about scrolling or hardware so much. The really interesting things are who I work with, and the most interesting of those people (for you at least) [...]
A Teleprompter in the Sun
Why did I give a Teleprompter Blog such a crazy title?
I don't know. I've been trying to think of what to write for this blog for a while. Would that it were sunny!
It was a rainy Manhattan day. I was to arrive at a private residence in the Village at 9:00 in the morning. I was early. The residence was a penthouse. But not just one penthouse, it was three. THREE!
Oliver Platt is a Little Crazy
But the Oliver Platt Kind of Crazy, is Hilarious
So once again I'm working the Marilyn Monroe doc. It's awesome. I enjoy the crew. It's a small operation. We get set up, and we rock and roll.
Plus the food is always really good, and if you have ever been on a film crew, you know how important that is!
This time around I get to work with screen legend Oliver [...]
I love the History Channel
Armageddon Week on History Channel is AWESOME!
I don't know about you guys, but my favorite "reality" programs actually have something to do with reality. History Channel has one of my favorite shows "American Pickers". Have you seen this show? It's crazy, these guys drive around and go through people's old barns and houses looking to buy their junk so they can resell [...]
Gretchen Mol is a Goddess
In her own right, and as a screen legend: Gretchen Mol is incredible.
I've loved Gretchen Mol since "Rounders". She was the "it girl" of the 90's. She's still "it" to me.
I'm working on this really cool Marilyn Monroe documentary. The coolest thing about it, is that it's chock full of A-list actors.
This is particularly fun for me.
I'm an Actor. I've personally identified [...]
