Best practice for positioning Talent:
Keep talent within left 50% of the frame
Knee-up or waist-up framing of talent
Talent will gesture to the left/right (depending on the template) with any direct reference to inventory
Ensure that the talent’s gestures/body (other than legs/feed) are not moving out of frame.
Custom Frame Companion
This template utilizes custom-sized background assets. The specifications for each section are outlined in this sample graphic.
