Preparing your team for the shoot day is essential to ensure a smooth and successful video production process. Here are some steps to help you get ready:

1. Designate a Point Person: Assign a point person from your team who will be our main contact on the shoot day. This person will help coordinate logistics, answer any questions, and ensure everyone is on the same page.
2. Share the Schedule: Communicate the shoot day schedule with your team well in advance. This includes the timing, locations, and any specific roles each team member will have during filming.
3. Dress Code: Discuss the recommended dress code with your team. Choose attire that aligns with your nonprofit's brand and the message you want to convey on camera.
4. Visual Aids and Props: If you plan to use visual aids, props, or any materials during filming, ensure they are ready and organized. This will save time on the shoot day and help the process run smoothly.
5. Rehearse Key Messages: While we aim for natural responses, rehearsing key messages or points can help your team feel confident when addressing specific topics during filming.
6. Tidy Shooting Areas: Make sure the shooting areas are tidy and free from any distractions. A clutter-free environment enhances the visual appeal of the video.
7. Relax and Be Natural: Remind your team to relax and be themselves on camera. Encourage them to engage in a natural conversation rather than delivering scripted lines.
8. Comfort and Refreshments: Provide a comfortable and welcoming environment on the shoot day. Have water and light refreshments available to keep everyone hydrated and energized.
9. Encourage Collaboration: Emphasize the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Encourage open communication and support among team members to create a positive atmosphere.

By following these steps, your team will be well-prepared and confident on the shoot day, contributing to a successful and impactful video production experience.

1. Solid Colors Over Patterns: Solid colors generally work best on camera. Please avoid patterns, especially thin stripes, as they can create a moiré effect.
2. Stay Away From Extreme Colors: Bright white or pitch black can impact camera exposure and contrast. Off-white or deeper shades are preferable.
3. Choose Soft Colors: Pastels or muted colors are flattering and draw less attention away from the message.
4. Logo & Branding: If you have branded attire with your organization's logo, consider bringing it. However, ensure it isn’t too bright or heavily patterned. Non-logo options are also encouraged.
5. Comfort Matters: Choose attire you feel confident and comfortable in, especially for longer shoots.
6. Strike a Balance: Depending on the message, dress might range from formal (like a collared shirt) to more casual. We'll discuss the tone of the video to guide you further.
7. Minimize Jewelry Noise: Simple jewelry is best. Large or clinking pieces can interfere with sound.
8. Shoes: For full body shots, appropriate footwear is essential. Avoid noisy heels for indoor shoots.
9. Glasses: If you wear glasses, bring them. We'll ensure there's no glare or reflections during the shoot.
10. Light Makeup Recommended: A touch of makeup can help even out skin tones and control shine. Avoid overly shiny or glittery products.
11. Neat Hair: Hair should be tidy and away from the face, especially if there will be movement or wind.
12. Pack Extra Options: Bring 2-3 attire choices. This gives us flexibility if something isn't camera-friendly or in case of unexpected mishaps.
13. Backdrop Considerations: If we decide to use a backdrop, we'll advise you on colors that will contrast well and ensure you stand out.
14. Focus on the Message: Your attire should amplify, not overshadow, the message. Think about the narrative you're sharing and choose attire that resonates with it.

Include a clear call to action (CTA) at the end of your video, whether it's to visit your website, subscribe to your channel, or make a donation. You can also use interactive elements like polls or quizzes to engage viewers further.
