Create Interactive Fashion Portfolios and Catwalks

Quick question to start:

Would you prefer to see the image on the left?

Or an interactive video of your fashion design as shown on the right? (click to start) >>

I'm hopeful everyone agree that the one on the right looks better. In this instructable I will show you how to create interactive videos for a fashion portfolio and how to embed these to websites, blogs, facebook, etc.

Creating 'shoogles' should take around 5 minutes each with a little bit of practice.
You only need a good video camera or webcam.

Step 1: Shooting a Short Video

To start you need a short video of your model turning, the more fluid the better. I shot my short video with LOTS of light and using a white background. See below for the raw video sample.

If you use a white background you will be able to correct it later on, otherwise any other background is fine. I do recommend you use lots of light though.

If you see flickering in your video then save it with a different frame rate (e.g. 25 or 30 frames per second).
