WARDROBE STYLISTS.

The best wardrobe stylists understand the dramatic impact of clothing and costuming in video production. An ill-fitted item of clothing, or a pattern on a shirt that appears to flash, ‘strobe’, or even disappear (it happens!) on screen, which can be highly distracting for your audience and cause them to miss the entire point or message of your video altogether. That’s why utilizing professional wardrobe services for your video can be so important. A wardrobe stylist will know (both from their training and past experience) what kinds of patterns, colors and clothing silhouettes work well on camera and which ones just don’t. They’ll know that dark colored clothing can sometimes be quite unsuited for the background, and that very bright clothing such as reds and oranges, can just look too highly saturated on screen. They’ll also know what kinds of colors work with the skin tones of your actors, and dress them accordingly so they don’t end up looking overly pale or sallow on screen

Wardrobe stylists help prevent and fix any little wardrobe emergencies that might occur, and if an item of clothing isn’t quite fitting right, can provide on-site tailoring to ensure that everything fits perfectly and looks professional and polished on camera.

Wardrobe stylists will also keep an eye on things like continuity, particularly if you’re shooting your video over the course of a few days or weeks. They’ll make sure that what someone was wearing the previous day for filming, is exactly the same the next day, right down to the last earring.

It’s If you want to go for a particular look for your video production project, wardrobe stylists can make this happen. They have extensive knowledge of style trends and in costume design and how to help talent to look their best. A single anachronistic accessory or clothing item in an actor’s costume can completely ruin the believability and professionalism of your video, and can also distract the audience so it’s important to use a professional to get this right.
