CTS-EP10 Even Cheaper and Cooler DIY Lighting

Continuing on with budget lighting, we explore using Fluorescent and LED lights, along with using available light, bouncing it with a reflector. These setups will work great for interviews, video casting, vlogging, and the like. These lights use less power and also generate much less heat then big halogen work lights. And the price can't be beat. We also show the benefits of adjusting White Balance on your camera, with lots of before and after shots. If you are shooting independent movies, stay tuned at the end where we show lighting for shots using the interior of a car.

hey... ypu know those blocks of white paper you hold up wit the word "warm" on them...

im guessing its to fix the white balance on your camera... but how do you use them?

and where do you get them?

anyone have any suggestions?

[bearztagger]

if you want a more diffuse light, you should try using a cutting board, they are pretty inexpensive and you can get them at any grocery store they are also thin and light and can be cut to any shape you like...
