so, people that look good in moving pictures are called clipgenic, i guess.
one does not always complement the others. they can look good in one medium, but not on the other medium.
People who look good in moving pictures but ugly in stills are usually called “actors.” And it’s those damned paparazzi giving us all those ugly stills.

Telegenic.
I think telegenic would be that they look good at a distance.
That’s weird in my humble opinion but okay then.
Are there actually photogenic people who look worse on video or irl?
If they’re photogenic surely they just look good all the time, I can’t think of any examples of photogenic looking worse on video.
Photos are generally composed, so someone can easily be photogenic from conventional photography angles and always look good.
Video is often never composed frame-by-frame to the level of a photo, so it’s a lot more likely to get less than flattering angles, which would lead to this.
I think someone being video-genic would probably be less common than photogenic because it implies you effortlessly look great from any angle
But what are people called when a picture of them looks good in a movie??
I think if someone looks good in photos but not on video, they probably just have a skilled photographer.
And then there are people with a radio face
sound good, visually (not quite) pleasant
