Appearance Dos and Dont’s

• Avoid tight patterns. Pinstripe and herringbone patterns can cause a moiré effect that creates strobing and can’t be adjusted on camera or post-production.
• Avoid solid white clothing. White reflects a great deal of light and can cause the camera to wash out your video; in effect, you will look overexposed.
• Be aware of the color of your webcam background. Wear a contrasting color so that you don’t blend in with the background.
