Those are creative tips. However i think the chinese lantern and the umbrella will melt in front of those lights. You will have a fire! You should provide a good distance from the lights to the difusers.

Great videos making and lighting tips here on your blog. I have just book marked it and will subscribe to your podcast. But there’s one thing that I can’t find on your site, or maybe I’m not looking in the right place. It’s a search box.

I think a search box will help people like me to get to the episode or tutorials that we need and not have to waste time going through all of the post to get to them.

Would you please consider integrating one one this awesome site.

Thanks
Bert

Your welcome, thanks for checking out the site.

The few I have bought recently have had to levels of power. Pressing once or twice gives 50% or 100% power. I thought about a dimmer, but that would be pricy to get one that is the correct amount of wattage/amps.

Thanks for the great tips. I bought a shop light yesterday and it is 500 watts. Just about blew me out of the room. Do you change the bulb wattage in them at all?

Thanks for these wonderful ideas. I love the idea of using parchment paper to diffuse the lighting. I shot our family Christmas video using a shop light. It was very harsh. The shadows were terrible.

Keep up the great work. I look forward to more of your videos.
