I first heard of The Prompter People in 2010 when I saw an ad for the iPad teleprompter; I emailed using the contact form on their site and Chuck wrote me back right away. For two months we corresponded with any questions or concerns I might have about a future purchase. I ended up purchasing the iPad prompter and it's honestly one of the best pieces of equipment in my arsenal. I can't tell you how many hours have saved and how much client/talent stressed has been reduced by using the prompter...beats holding up large pieces of poster board with awful, darting eye performances.
Fast forward to 2012 when I was about to start my first indie film, we were shooting a lot of office scenes and I didn't want to have to gel all my tungsten lights...and knew it was time for Fluorescents. I saw the lighting kit advertised at B&H, I contacted Chuck once again with a few questions, who was very quick to respond and I made my purchase. I don't know how I shot corporate video for 25 years these lights. they are dimmable, foldable, light, cool and safe as well. I ordered some additional warm bulbs and split the array with 1/2 daylight, 1/2 warm...based on Chucks suggestion.
Here it is 2014 and of the lights had a ballast problem, I wrote sales, they issue an RMA, couldn't have been nicer and more efficient about it and a new light is on its as I type. They offer to repair the light, but I actually wanted a smaller model and they were kind enough to oblige me. Sandra has been wonderful with her communications throughout this process and I honestly couldn't imagine buying lights from another vendor. I have a flolight LED as well. I see there are some negative reviews from a few years ago and as a business owner, I have to admit that there have been bumps in the road dealing with client issues; we learn, grow and evolve with our business and I do feel a company should be given a second chance...if they fail again, then I would totally agree not to deal with them again. to end on a high note, I have been nothing but impressed with the equipment and customer service at The Prompter People since 2010. read more
