DON'T wear green! Wearing green will cause your Drama Kid to have the "floating head" effect, like the meteorologist in the picture above! Also try not to dress your child in any close variation of green; such as, turquoise, aqua, neon yellow, etc. These colors often trick our software, and while it won't create a "floating head" it may make your child's body a little transparent! We also suggest avoiding any reflective white fabrics, because it will often pick up the green color of the screen and create a "fuzzy" texture around the actor.
DO look for warmer colors like reds and oranges, as well as purples, dark/navy blues, and neutrals! These colors provide a stark contrast to the green screen, and will create a better effect! DO look for solid-color shirts, and avoid patterns! Patterned shirts will often contain flecks of green or yellow and will cause the image to flicker - which can become very distracting! DON'T be late for your child's scheduled film time! We schedule our film groups back to back, so please help us stay on track by making sure your child is on-time (if not a few minutes early!) Plus, an actor's performance will be much more polished if he or she feels calm and comfortable. We don't want our Drama Kids feeling rushed and frazzled before their shoot! DO arrive at the shoot in costume with hair and/or make-up complete. Obviously we know that life is busy - and if your Drama Kid needs to get ready at our location that's totally fine! However, please make sure you arrive a little early in this instance so your child can prep before his/her film time, and please only do so in restrooms or rooms you know you have permission to use. Your child by no means needs to wear make-up, but if they would like to we ask that all primping and polishing be done before the shoot as well. We will have a lot of set-up and prep work with the camera, lights, sound, etc. so we won't have time to help with wardrobe! If you have any other questions regarding the filming process, do not hesitate to ask!
