FAQ AND INFO

  • WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

    I am based out of West Palm Beach and serve all surrounding south Florida areas. I am also open to unique and/or outdoor locations, and love to travel! :)

  • WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?

    Short-form videography including Reels, full song choreography, social media promotion, and creative projects. I travel to location with all equipment including studio lighting & professional camera gear. Make sure to visit the video options page for more information and examples!

  • DO I NEED A FULL CHOREOGRAPHY?

    Not at all! While I can certainly document your choreography, I also specialize in highlights-style videos that feature only your best shots. In addition to the standard video options, you may also choose to feature anything you would like during your video shoot, such as isolated tricks, combos, and/or non-dance related content. See the video options page for descriptions & examples!

  • HOW DO I BOOK?

    Any upcoming studio shoot days are listed on the home page, along with the links for booking (booking may be direct OR through studio). Private booking is available on an individualized basis- please fill out the booking request form located on the home page and I will get back to you to discuss scheduling! If you are a studio owner interested in scheduling a video shoot day for a group, or if you are interested in studio promotional content, you may use the same form.

  • WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT ON MY SHOOT DAY?

    During your 1 hour private session you will have some time to change, warm up and get started. Once we are ready to shoot, we will do a few test runs to review the lighting & get used to working together and then we can just go with the flow! When filming, the goal is to just 'do your thing' and it is my job to get your angles and capture your essence. Some people like to focus on eye contact and camera presence, but my suggestion is to do whatever will allow you to get into your true flow and comfort. Videography is also a bit different than photography, in that we rely on full transitions, flow, and natural feeling movement rather than posing and focusing on angles. During the shoot, we will play your music, so please make sure to create a music playlist that includes your final song(s) of choice. For a detailed breakdown of what to expect for each video option, please see the video options page!

  • WHAT ARE YOUR PRICES?

    Prices will ultimately depend on the project details, location & studio availability. Prices are typically higher for private bookings and lower for groups & studio shoot days. Please see the packages & pricing page for more information & current promotions.

  • WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY VIDEOS?

    Standard video turnaround time for 60-90 second video is 3-4 weeks. For studio shoot days, videos will be edited and delivered in the order booked (first to book is first to receive files). Rush fees for private sessions are available for an additional rate.

  • HOW DO I ACCESS YOUR PORTFOLIO?

    To ensure privacy to my clients, my full portfolio is password protected. If you would like to view my portfolio, feel free to reach out and I will be happy to give you the password! :)

  • HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM READY TO BOOK?

    Gemini Daze offers a variety of video options suitable for all skill levels, and you do not need a prepared choreography for the edited video video options. In addition, I specialize in creative editing aimed at capturing your essence and details- sometimes all you need is a good strut & some confidence and the rest falls into place!

  • CAN I DO A DOUBLES ROUTINE OR USE 2 POLES?

    I would love to capture your doubles or competition/2-pole routine! Because this type of routine will most likely require several lighting adjustments & potential lens changes, I recommend ‘The Gemini Daze’ option for these types of projects. This will ensure we have enough time to discuss your vision and focus for the routine, have the ability to adjust the lights separately for each dancer/pole/area, and ensure we get the appropriate, perfect shots! In addition, this option includes intentionally focused editing to bring your vision to life! *Please note that this option is usually only available for private booking with an extended time slot and requires prior approval for studio shoot days.

  • WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR MY VIDEO SHOOT?

    The best outfit is whatever you feel most confident in! Depending on the shoot location, you will most likely have the option to choose your background color. Please note that videography is a bit less forgiving if you have a ‘slip’, so please just be mindful of your outfit capabilities! In addition, if your outfit is sheer/lace, studio lighting will often reveal your skin underneath (pasties are a good choice to be safe!)

  • CAN I DO LYRA, SILKS, TWERK, OR OTHER NON-POLE OPTIONS?

    Absolutely! I am more than happy to capture ALL of your unique passions. As long as the shooting location has the appropriate equipment and we discuss the logistics prior (if needed), it should be no problem at all!

  • I AM NERVOUS I WILL MESS UP OR BLANK OUT!

    First of all, every single person I have worked with has messed up during their shoot! If you mess up while we are filming, just keep going! I know it is going to feel super awkward messing up with my eyes and a camera on you, but I promise you I literally do not care, and it is 100% part of the process. It is MY job to help you be comfortable, and I promise I will do my absolute best to create a safe space for you to truly be yourself! Besides, with most of the standard video options all we need is a just few seconds to get the shot, and anything that doesn’t look PERFECT will be edited out anyway!

  • DO YOU OFFER PHOTOGRAPHY?

    I do not offer photography services at this time, but would be happy to refer you to a local photographer!

  • CAN I BOOK WITH A FRIEND?

    Yes! Booking with a friend can help you share the cost and also help reduce anxiety about your session (see the packages and pricing page for more information). Please note that only individuals who are scheduled for filming/included in the video are allowed to be present during the session and any additional spectators require prior approval.

  • CAN I BRING A GUEST WITH ME?

    To ensure maximal safety and privacy, only the contracted client is allowed to participate in the video shoot and any additional guests or spectators require prior approval.

    Deposit & Payment: For private bookings, standard policy requires 50% nonrefundable deposit is due at the time of booking to hold your date/time-slot, and the remaining 50% is due 2 days prior to your shoot day.
