I'm still pretty new to this whole video creation and editing thing... like you couldn't tell!! ...and well, I finally decided to invest some real time and a little money (but mostly elbow grease) into my in-house lighting.

And so I did! I make a Key Light Stand from parts laying around the house (didn't need it, but I bought a switch and junction box to make it a little easier). I plopped down some big-timer cash on the fill light reflector and the back light... $12 and $8, respectively.

Now I also spent $6 on a diffuser lens that I plan to incorporate into the setup at some point in the near future to give the light a softer touch.

Anyhoo, hope you like it and let me know if you think the overall quality has improved any... sure hope so. :)

I'll have a how-to on the Key Light Stand in the near future.

Does anyone know what that thing is that was sitting on his desk at the right of the video frame?

[rstephensonable]

@aboutagb it's a Russian, handmade, leather art piece of Jesus. Pretty cool, huh?!
