Thread: Makeup for TV

Quick! I need the rundown before tomorrow night.

I'm doing a 20-minute interview followed by a 5-minute mini-performance. (There will be time to change into costume and amp up the makeup before I dance).

What looks good on film - and more importantly - what should I stay away from? Paging Yodazhia.....g.:

Someone paged?

Do you know if they're shooting in hi-def?

Most likely negatory on that one, Azh....it's an Up and Coming series for local cable, not 20/20 ..l;,

Then follow standard operating procedure as for a medium-sized venue show!

Use warming colors as most TV stations shoot under fluorescent lights.

Cool! You're the best ..g.:..g.:..g.:

Good luck!
You will rock!!!..g.:

Yay, thanks Kalinka!

I might wear your red Tony & Robbie, by the way

How exciting for you. Let us know how it turns out and where to get the scoop on the show.

We're filming tomorrow night, but the show probably won't air for another week or two, in a fairly localized Comcast market.

I will, however, upload the whole enchilada onto YouTube and my website, so you can hear my (tasteful) rants about fake history and stripper stereotypes. The host is incredibly cool and has already put me at ease by briefing me on the nature of our Q's and A's: most of the questions involve the historical origins of the dance, how I got into it and who taught me, who my ideal audience would be, the health/wellness benefits of the dance, what the misconceptions are and where they come from.

Thank GOODNESS it's something different from the typical "put a news anchor in a hip scarf and giggle while she forces a shimmy" bit that's ever so popular in the media.
