As is often the case, prep time for promotions is all
but non-existant, even worse during sweeps. You write
the script, get approval, shoot the talent and in a
few hours it's on the air and you are on to your next
miracle of television. Getting the script into the
talents hands ahead of time can be tricky. Maybe they
are out in the field on a story? or on location for
an interview? Many times, aside from a quick glance
in email the day of is the first time your talent has
had to read and try to memorize the script. But what
if you could use the same tools the News department
uses to get through their shows? It's no secret

thanks to PromptDog and PromptPuppy from
DVCreators you can too.
PromptDog(Puppy) turn any regular laptop into a
cheap and portable solution for your prompting
needs. Copy and paste your script or just drag
it in and you are ready to go. Full speed
control, editable on the fly, the kind of tool I
