FAQs

What should we wear?

Whatever makes you comfortable! This could be casual, dressy, your uniform, a costume, whatever! We just ask you to avoid large branding.

When will the episode get posted?

We are usually able to provide an answer from our posting schedule, but being an unfunded passion project means that unforeseen delays can happen. We’ll always keep you posted!

Can we post this on our channel?

We host the only version of the final episode on the OLW YouTube channel, but sizzles, excerpts, previews, and BTS footage can be posted to any of your websites or socials.

Can we make our own video from the footage?

Of course! We can provide all our footage from the filming day, and you’re welcome to edit and add your own voiceover or extra footage to make videos for yourself.

Will we get to approve the final version before it’s posted?

Technically, no. We’ve had to wait too long in the past. However, we’re usually able to give you a peek beforehand to make sure you love it first.
