Inspired by the innovative work of filmmaker Errol Morris and his renowned Interrotron technique, this dual-mode teleprompter elevates your interviewing experience. This setup allows the interviewer and interviewee to establish direct eye contact through a two-way beam splitter glass and periscope design.
As the interviewee converses with their own reflection, they unknowingly engage with the camera, resulting in a more authentic and warm on-screen presence. Errol Morris, an award-winning filmmaker, has employed this technique in various documentaries, demonstrating its effectiveness in creating a deep connection between subjects and audiences.
