So my Brother in law has a project for our next Oct 2019 studio shoot that will require some of his talent to sing and present long, long lines of dialog. He thought of using a teleprompter and I told him I had built one (see link here) but it’s […]
Last weekend we had the pleasure of staying with our friends in Austin. That meant the obligatory field trip (for me) to Frys Electrionics and Precision Camera and Video. I didn’t realize that PC was having an Inventory sale of sorts. They had lots of good vintage stuff out on […]
