Camera Friendly Wardrobe

Today we had someone doing our greeting for the first time. This man didn’t get the memo our department usually sends out about what to wear and what not to wear on camera (Actually I think we failed to SEND it). So in rehearsal here’s what I saw: A black stage and an African American man with a white shirt on. All of this, of course, leads to either a glowing man or invisible man. We always try to expose cameras for flesh tones, so we would have had a ghostly white shirt. We had our greeter switch shirts with another staff member and the problem was solved. Kind of a low tech solution.

Check out this article from Videomaker magazine about camera friendly wardrobe.

I’m going to recommend to all our staff who appears on stage that they keep a camera friendly backup shirt in their offices.

Our technical difficulty that I was supposed to have engineered has been put off until next week. I’ll post a video after we do it.
