Get Yourself Ready

  • Do your hair and makeup in the style that makes you feel comfortable and confident.

 

  • Wardrobe: Stay away from solid black or solid white, as it can tend to blend into the background. Try wearing vibrant solid colors -- everyone looks good in blue on camera. 

 

  • Do not wear any shade of green if you are using a green screen.

 

  • Avoid wearing shirts with prominent logos (unless they are the logo of your university/company) to avoid any potential legal issues.

 

  • Avoid wearing big necklaces as they have a tendency to bump against the microphone. Jangly bracelets will also be picked up on the microphone if you are moving your hands around causing the bracelets to clink together.

 

  • Avoid tight patterns (like tiny stripes, polka dots, checks), as they can cause a “moire” (or buzzing) effect on the camera.
