Why choose an Autocue?
In our last blog, we covered the basics of an autocue, but let’s dive into why it’s a game-changer. In today’s fast-paced corporate world, nailing a presentation can be the difference between closing a deal and missing out. That’s where an autocue, or teleprompter, comes in. It’s your secret weapon for delivering a polished, confident performance that captivates your audience and leaves a lasting impression.
Benefits of Using an Autocue in Corporate Presentations
1. Enhanced Confidence and Professionalism
An autocue ensures that you stay on message and maintain a steady pace throughout your presentation. This reduces the risk of stumbling over words or losing your train of thought, allowing you to project confidence and professionalism. No better way to seem relatable and down to earth than speaking in a casual and approachable way!
2. Improved Audience Engagement
By freeing you from the need to look down at notes or slides, an autocue enables you to maintain eye contact with your audience. This connection is crucial for keeping your audience engaged and making your message more persuasive. While audience engagement is important, at the same time you don’t want to make it unnatural and scripted.
3. Consistent Delivery
An autocue helps you deliver your message consistently every time. This is particularly important for corporate presentations that may be repeated in different settings or recorded for future use.
4. Time Efficiency
Presentations often have strict time limits. An autocue allows you to pace your speech perfectly, ensuring that you cover all key points within the allotted time. It also helps with correcting any script errors or issues with structure. If you find a section reading wrong or too complicated to read, there’s always time to rewrite and start again and get back to recording!
Corporate Video Editing
Editing this project was a bit different from our usual approach. Although we were working with just four short videos, each 1-2 minutes long, we had 3-4 takes per script to ensure two solid options. This meant reviewing each video 3-4 times to pick the best takes for the final cut.
The editing style reminded me of our work with Graduate Coach—one speaker, front and centre, delivering key promises and stats. I knew exactly how to approach it. I also made sure to study Three Stone’s website to match their aesthetic, noting key colours, textures, and their preference for a clean, modern look.
The final results are sleek and polished! We used a soft grey-purple as the key color, with an off-white wood texture overlay to add subtle depth—just like on their site.
