A Long-Needed Upgrade
🕑 Added 2021-12-21 22:00:32 +0000 UTCHey everyone. After a lot of time and cursing, my new teleprompter is here and (mostly) ready to go. Not just the teleprompter, but the tablet and the tripod to hold them up.
I'm still waiting on my remote to arrive so I can start, pause, and adjust the scrolling speed. It should arrive this week, but with holiday mail, your guess is as good as mine. Test footage so far has been a little grainy, so I'll have to figure out what's up with that.
Between the new tripod's shortest height being taller than my old one, plus the added height of the teleprompter rig itself, I wont be able to set it on the table as I normally did. No big deal, I'll simply have to slide the table over. I've gotten used to that with doing Jack scenes, as I always have to scoot the table back from the green screen. The weird part will be getting used to nothing in front of me.
Hopefully by the next video I'll have all the last issues worked out and can use it.
Thank you, everyone.

I don't even know if we'll know it's you without the shifty eyes over to the script from time to time during the video ;) in seriousness, glad to see this!
The fake half-table prop isn't expensive. The real cost is the additional room required to house and store all that stuff. Once I've hit the point I can build a dedicated studio addition to my house, I'm going to get the sweetest fake half-table you've ever seen.

Hey you at least haven't gotten to enough YouTuber money that you have a practical table and one sawn in half so it looks like you're sitting at a table.
You forget my curse. Every piece of new technology only increases my chances of breaking it all myself. There is no need to threaten my gear. It's in peril enough.

Good news and a A Very Scary Solstice, Seth!

Alright hold up one minute here. Are you going to do that thing where now that you have ACTUAL good equipment your content is going to suffer? Because if it does I'm going to have to do the internet a solid and come destroy your new toys and replace them with an iPhone 4 and a speak and spell.

Awesome, dude! I'm sure this will make the quality of your videos even better. Oh, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
