    This is encouraging. Your words touched me : “don’t make excuses...” I actually bought a cannon this yr, and could afford this light BUT I haven’t gotten into making films or vlogs etc bc of FEAR - but even then others who are in the hustle and don’t have the resources go at it without excuses. Very inspirational for me. Cheers.

    WOW. I mean, props for putting this video out. People need to see stuff like this so that they don't feel bad about their own hacks, because to me, this video is way more fun to watch than almost any of the other DIY lights on RUclips. I'm still doing something similar to this because I have my money tied in in things like buying food. It's the final result that counts!

      only do this when youre starting. You dont have the equipment but you do have the passion and the skill. why let stuff like expensive gear stop you from producing great quality video? shoot with cheap, make money, save up, buy expensive equipment, charge more, save money, buy even more expensive equipment... oh and when your expensive equipment fails on you now you know how to build a backup lol

  • @personal61319

    I made a smaller version with (initially) a worklight which I later replaced with a regular LED bulb suspended from an overhead bar. The dome had as it’s frame a styrofoam (pressure cooker) box lining around which I wrapped some reflective strip-cut dashboard protector. Used hot glue and bad sewing to wrap it in black cloth and used thin curtain lining as diffuser. Works a charm, but doesn’t have the rugged gaffers tape charm of yours, bro!😜 Absolutely loved this.

    @VigneshDhakshinamoorthy 3 года назад

    That's some creative stuff there. Cooooool one bro...
    Another quick way to get nice and soft light is to just point that led thing towards the wall/ceiling which then acts as a diffuser. Works Fantastic compared to the harsh light you get with no diffusion.
    Also we do have umbrella lightning setup for $40 budget on Amazon...

    -Gorilla or Duc tape
    -That can light or 3 cheap flash lights
    -A flood LED light.
    -Aluminum foil
    -a broom stick or cheap mop stick
    -something that can act as a tough base to hold the broom up straight that's cheap.
    -White hazy shower curtains
    -batteries from the dollar store (if you get the flashlights)
    And think that's everything.
