Teleprompter Assisted Recording Device In Shipping crate

Teleprompter Assisted Recording Device In Shipping crate


I built this video booth as a promotional tool for my CC-licensed novella, Boggle and Sneak, in which inventor trolls travel to our house in jury-rigged vehicles and subject us to Rube Goldberg practical jokes. Most author readings feature the author reading. I want my readings to feature the readers reading.

This project is a mashup of Build a Basic Crate 2.0 by Overclocked and Teleprompter DIY for $50.00 by hersheymagic.

Step 1Cut Panels

Cut Panels
Panel dimensions:
- Floor: 1/2" plywood, 40" x 48": standard GMA pallet size.
- Ceiling: 3/8" plywood, 40" x 48"
- Side Walls: 3/8" plywood, 40" x 82"
- Back Wall: 3/8" plywood, 44.25" x 82"
- Door: 3/8" plywood, 43.75" x 80"

The panels were too big to cut indoors, but it was thirty below outdoors. I need a new pair of gloves.

Painting it blue would be too obvious. Why not go for a red phone booth to match the light?
