@@SteveGriffithsvideo thanks for your response. is there a solution? is there a glass maker that won't have this problem? if you specify before what you want and they don't deliver, then return it? local glass companies said they can't guarantee it will be totally blemish free....but then how do companies like learning glass and revolution lightboards get theirs so nice?
@@soccerrefeducation good question. I am not sure of the solution. I was devastated when I turn on the lights the time. Camera settings generally accomodate most blemishes on the glass including smudges etc.
Hi Steve! Thansk for the video's, really struggling to get mine right. I am not sure If my lighting set up on the glass is appropriate. I get alot of galss glare/smudges when the brightness is high like you do, but then I adjst ISO, Shutter and Appateure so it blacks out the backgroud and glare etc but it really effects the clarity of the ink. Any ideas?
Richard Clarke it can be frustrating. It really was just trial and error for me. Do you have edge lighting LEDs in your light board? What type of lights do you use for talent lighting and where are they positioned? If you want, send me a link to a video by email mr.sciencesteve@gmail.com
@@SteveGriffithsvideo Thanks Steve, really appreciate you getting back to me. Its a DIY job and maybe a few errors in design. I'll send you something over and appreciate any help.
any reason you didn’t upload in 1080p? My lightboard videos are still not the best quality even when in 1080p. I only have umbrella lights instead of studio lights so I’m wondering if that’s the reason why
Steve Griffiths I use premiere pro as well, in the export settings you can choose to export in TH-cam - 1080p quality. There are TH-cam tutorials on how to do this.
You will see all the smudges on the glass in normal light. However, if you use a digital SLR camera and adjust the settings in manual you cant see the smudged in the video. I do think that glass works better than acrylic though. Please send me a link to a video so I can have a look.
@@SteveGriffithsvideo th-cam.com/video/Xhoh9dVKp24/w-d-xo.html here is a link with the video i am trouble with. th-cam.com/video/3dhxocgKTL8/w-d-xo.html This video I use without strip-light which sounds good but ink is not so brighten.
What is the distance between the glass and the black-backdrop? And have you found a minimum distance, where anything less than that becomes harder to make the backdrop completely black? I ask this because my room is very small.
@@SteveGriffithsvideoWhat I hear you saying is that the blackness of the backdrop, achieved in-studio, does not have to be perfectly black. i.e. no need for barn doors etc. That's because the perfect blackness is ultimately achieved by the camera settings (and during the video editing). I ask this because I had been considering buying more expensive black velvet for the backdrop, as compared to cheaper black cotton-muslin sold on eBay. But given what you're saying, maybe just a cheap muslin backdrop should suffice?
Dear Sir I am having the following doubts 1.I am using crystal clear glass of 8mm thickness...Is the thickness and quality of glass good enough for light board? 2.My LED strip is 10mm and my glass is only 8mm is it ok or do I need to buy a 10mm glass? 3.Do we need to stick the LED strip on all the corners of the glass (4 side) or can we put it on any one side of the glass? Please note that my LED strip is 24 watt/meter Please confirm Many thanks for your continuous support!!!
gurudut cotipalli the glass will be perfect. The LED strip is 10 mm but the actual LEDs are narrower than that. So the LEDs are totally fine. If you are mounting the LEDs and glass in a channel in your frame you will need to put some packing between the channel and glass. This will stop the glass rattling and stop the light bleeding through.i use LEDs around all sides for maximum penetration. I have also seen boards with just two sides. Seems to work ok. But don’t just do one side, this isn’t effective.
You are doing great job
what is the green smudge that is running across the middle of the glass? i had the same thing on my glass, and i returned it.
Yeah it is an imperfection in the glass. Normally I can adjust the camera settings so you can’t see it. It is frustrating for an $800 piece of glass.

Hello. We face huge trouble with setup lightboard. Especially when with the led strip light with an acrylic glass.
I am sorry to hear you are having trouble. What is the trouble you are having?
The glass turns out gray when we turned on the led strip light.

@@SteveGriffithsvideo Thanks!
