My friend from high school runs a teleprompter business. His site, Promptin’ Circumstance has a lot of personality to it, which seems unique in the industry. The other sites are a technical snoozefest, filled with information about monitors and computery-things. His has a voice. And it’s led to some big time clients for him. Rock stars, presidents, award shows… He’s got a pretty impressive roster. Not bad for an A/V Club kid who used to wear vests.
I took themes from his site and modified them for other sites. It was cool to know I could get away with using tone. After all, it works for him…

Overall: Decent. Not great. There are some good lines, but not enough to give myself a solid grade on it. I think I’m missing something. Like there’s a door I never knocked on.
Lessons: I like the tone, but I didn’t love the topic. Too technical for my liking.
- I might have unintentionally limited myself by writing too much in one style. While it was fun, it’s not necessarily conducive to 100 lines
- The Ron Burgundy lines felt cheap. Too obvious.
- I was writing from the mindset of a presenter rather than the purchaser/decision maker. That may have been a mistake
- There’s an event production side to this service I’m too unfamiliar with to really get it right.
Time: 2 30-minute sessions. I knocked out the first 64 before looking at the formulas.
37/100
