You didn’t just talk the talk, but you walked the walk by taking us through your mind set with setup and end results. Simply excellent and this is how reviews should be done.
My favourite lighting challenges is using multiple handheld torches and cellophane taped onto the lens, with baking parchment for diffusion. It's cheap, and can actually look decent.
+1 on that, I already have some experience with product photography but it's still really difficult to properly light gloss black without distracting reflections.
Lighting, including artificial lighting, is so under appreciated by novice videographers and photographers I think. I'm just a hobby photographer and it's taken me years to realize how important light is. As an example, for the last year and a half I've been photographing playing card decks, just for fun, and I've been using my cheapest beginner camera from Fujifilm (x-t100(not my first camera by far)) and have gotten good results. And not long ago I got a medium format Fujifilm camera (50S II) and you can basically not tell the difference. If I were to look back at my playing card photos, without knowledge of which deck was shot with which camera, I could not tell you which was shot with which camera. LIGHT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GEAR in most situations.
My goal is hiding the usual “ugly” black audio monitors by turning them into lanterns that at the same time create soft, diffused light (the light sources are inside the “lantern case”). But the most important thing is still that their sound quality isn’t significantly impaired by that.
@@abavariannormiepleb9470 it's possible something like 1/4 grid cloth could be thin enough but it might not visually look any better than if you used nothing since there is a pattern to it. I also can't speak to the performance in audio transparency.
Thanks for your feedback! It seems that this project is indeed pretty niche and that there are no specific specialty fabric products for it, will try a few things out.

You know when Brandon help us with good setup that is cheap, cause his experience is worth more than gold at this moment.
Beautiful video! Very nice!
You could legit work in Hollywood with your composition & lighting technique, great work!

Wow great video Brandon Y Lee! Ordering these lights when I can! So fun!
I know almost nothing about lighting but wow are your lighting setups amazing
Can you do a video on lighting for product showcases? Lighting for product reviews
I'll add it to the list of topics!

Happy to hear you discovered this over time, it's pretty game changing once you start to understand it.
Amazing video, Brandon is truly the goat
I really want to see how these stack up against Amarans in person
Is there a great fabric for light diffusion that also is acoustically transparent to be able to be used closely in front of studio audio monitors?
None that are designed for that purpose AFAIK, in what situations would you be wanting that kind of functionality?

Miss working with ya.
Likewise man! :)
audio needs to be boosted by 20% imo
Thanks for the feedback!
