Rostrum the list

Welcome back.

Today I want to talk about how we finish things.

Not the tools — the last five percent that makes a piece feel considered.

If you can see the words without leaving the lens, you can stay with the thought.

That’s the whole job.

Look at the camera. The words will keep up.

Look at the lens. The words will keep up.

A calm scrolling script while you talk to camera. Large type, even motion, nothing on screen that doesn’t belong.

Welcome back.

Today I want to talk about how we finish things.

Not the tools — the last five percent that makes a piece feel considered.

If you can see the words without leaving the lens, you can stay with the thought.

That’s the whole job.

The script.

Paste one, or write one. Large letters, generous leading — contrast meant for a room where the lights are already set.

The lens.

Place the window beside the camera, or the phone just under it. The notch can wait. The words come first.

The pace.

Scroll as you speak. Slow it, hold it, start again. If they can tell you’re reading, the prompter failed.

Free to read one script. Lifetime $35 — more scripts, finer speed, kept in one place.

These dollar amounts are draft placeholders. Nothing here is for sale, and no payment is collected.

Keep a place on the list.
