Content Sharing
These are our suggestions to make great looking content, even with just your phone. We are asking for these steps to try to keep things on brand as much as possible. This is all meant to be helpful and not demanding. Whatever art you create as a favor to this project is welcome.
For photos and video
- If you don’t have colored lighting, take photos with a clean background
- Take a photo in front of a clean space, like a blank wall, that is contrasting to the color you are wearing. (Don’t wear a white shirt in front of a white wall)
This is an example of how your pic(s) will be edited if you photog in front of a clean background.
- If you do have colored lighting (purple and pink) then have an interesting background (strip club, pole studio or room, brick wall, art wall, ect)
This is an example of a pic that would fit the description above.
- Make sure you have light in front of you not behind you
- If there is a light behind you it should be an accent light, like a low lamp or an LED light, pointing down on you but behind you, or on the floor coming up, also behind you.
Here is a quick video tutorial how to make good lighting really easily.
- No light box like in the video? Use a lamp or a ring light.
- No third color light like in the video? No worries, we will color your background in post.
- Product should be visible and well lit
- When doing photos, don’t use the live setting
- Make sure your lens is clean
- You can leave your face or head out if you prefer
For Video
- You can vamp/dance around for like 10-15 seconds with a focus on the product(s)
- Then 10-15 seconds being cute, don’t worry about product focus for this part
- Move around the pole with item on if applicable
- Floor work
- Chair work
- On stage
- Rolling around in bed
- Making food
- Ect… Whatever makes you feel cute.
- Use lighting suggestions listed above
- Film vertically, please
- Make sure you have more space at the bottom than at the top (remember that text on reels posts cover a portion of the bottom of the video)
- If you have pink and purple light, that’s great. If not, just have a clean background.
- Also use warm lighting no matter what.
- Make sure the product can be seen visibly
- You can also do a series of Live Photos as a form of video content
Here are examples of videos. One is an example of how we shot some content and the other is how the final video looks after we edit it. Just to give you an idea!
