This is a nine minute video on how to fold a frozen food container in order to make a flap for a light. A normal person could work this out in about 30 seconds. Really stupid dude.

Mr Grey80002, it actually pays to watch the whole video as there is a hidden pyro feature at the end.

So from being smart in comment it has revealed you did not watch the video.

A normal person would watch a video then make a suitable comment, so who's looking stupid now.?

This video is awesome and of great help to me and others I'm sure. I'm glad Beanmeister22 sent me over here! I'm Going to send this to some friends and incorporate these onto my lights.

I have much time for Bienmeister22, he's a really good hearted tuber.

@Grey80002 Wow, so uncalled for. The man takes the time to do the video and share his process with the rest of the world, and you put him down for it. People are so rude on the net and say things that they would never say to your face. I really appreciated that Leo took his time in the explanation.

@joeyws89 ok thank you for responding!

[joeyws89]

@BloggingBrothers I would assume so, otherwise it'd disrupt the lighting of your shot, reflecting randomly and stuff.

[joeyws89]

Thanks for the upload. Contrary to Grey80002's opinion, it's pretty important to watch the whole video to make sure it's done right. Just a quick question, do you have any professional filming experience? Or are you just an amateur enthusiast?

[StavroJames]

I really needed something like this for my shoot in a month..

Thank you so much!

Cheers,

Many thanks, Leo, this is a very useful, practical and informative video. It has given me the motivation to try this myself. Really appreciate your clear explanation and "hidden" reward at the end.
