Cold Weather Shoot Tips!
I have been the cosplayer in a few snowy shoots of my own and would love to share some tips on how to make it a success for you!
-
Layers!
-
How much can you layer up under your costume?
-
Long sleeve shirts, leggings, gloves, socks.
-
-
Nude fleece tights
-
Fleece tights in your skin color will help with characters that show legs!
-
-
Nude fleece under shirt
-
Like the tights, it'll help for characters that show arms.
-
-
Wear boots
-
Does your costume cover your feet? Wear boots instead of costume shoes! You can even brings shoes to switch out into if we need a few shots that show feet (like twirls!)
-
-
Bring a coat or blanket
-
You'll want to throw it on to keep warm between shots, while I'm changing lens or while we move locations
-
-
Hand and foot warmers
-
These are little packets that heat up that you can put in your gloves, shots, pockets, etc.
-
Careful not to put them directly against your skin
-
Activate them 15 minutes before the shoot starts; they take awhile to warm up.
-
I've seen them for sale at Dollar Tree!
-
-
Bring a thermos with a warm drink
-
Hot chocolate, coffee or tea kept warm in to a thermos or bottle will do wonders!
-
-
Keep it short if needed
-
Keep your own cold tolerance in mind when booking your shoot!
-
Don't worry about me, I can be out there all day!
-
-
Winterize your character!
-
Get creative and make a winter version of your character! What would they look like in cold weather clothes? Build the warmth right into your costume!
-
Cloaks, faux fur, gloves, hats, boots, and more!
-
Book now!
What if there isn't snow the day of our shoot?
No worries, we'll just postpone to a day when there is good snow coverage!
