Yeah black seems like a better call. Can you think of any interesting effects that in your experience do work on white backgrounds in terms of making a subject pop against a white background, especially if they are wearing black, which is high contrast? Maybe motion blurring isn't the best way to go about things for a white backdrop and I should try to gain inspiration from something else/keep a more open mind that trying to recreate the original effect meant for a black background? Also yes the image does look exactly like an anaglyph: I had no idea that is what they were called before but honestly the effect is distracting without 3D lenses on.

I plan to just call a few studios near me and ask me if they have a blackroom. Is it normally expensive to shoot a photo there? If not, I might just ask to take a photo in the room just so I can have one as a keepsake. I assume it is expensive though because I haven't seen many people taking photos in these locations just for fun haha.
