Hi everyone,
I really want to improve my video quality. The darkness and lack of light is very frustrating and I don't know what to do to improve. I record during the daylight with all windows opened and all lights on. I have tried some heavy duty work lights bought at the home depot, but it didn't help at all. I don't know what to do. I am so frustrated. Any help? I am willing to invest into some lights (not too expensive). Do you guys have ideas? Could the background be an issue? I use black because it looks professional.. Any suggestions would be welcome! -------------------- www.youtube.com/Wallimann

I cannibalized a few 40 w wall lamps and connected them on a 1.5 meter board facing downards on me.
Not the best results, but gave me lightning enough for the first video. This post has been edited by Trond Vold: Feb 17 2008, 12:37 AM -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio
