HOW TO PREPARE

Styling

Do’s:

  • Colors: Any neutrals, muted/deep colors, and earth tones look great in our space, or wear a pop color if you want to stand out!

  • Shoes & Bottoms: Note that with our Lounge Setup, your legs & shoes will be visible in the wide shot.

  • Hair & Make-Up: If you wear makeup for going out or on-stage, then this is also the time to look your best under studio lighting!

Don’ts:

  • Styling: Tight patterns/stripes on clothing generally don’t render well on video and can cause moiré (pattern distortion/warping), so they should be avoided for video recordings.
