Always enjoy your presentations.
For me, your vlogs are like a Friday night garage session. I'm not being 'schooled in secret techniques' as much as sitting at a bench and fiddling about with tools and concepts. Simple fun. Thx.

[@georgebarronjr]

I enjoyed this video. But "no complicated equipment is required" should have come with the caveat "if you have a professional studio". 😉

[@CameraClubLive]

This can easily be done with a speed light on a tabletop. thanks for watching.

[@paulsouthworth-jr4zx]

Great video as usual could I ask what is the grey card you use for backgrounds on some other of your shots is it a specific shade or anything cheers

[@CameraClubLive]

The grey card I sometimes use, it’s just a medium grey mount board. Thanks for watching.

[@d.s1014]

What about using a snoot with a grid?

[@CameraClubLive]

Hey, snoot, and a grid would not work in this case. Although you could use the snoot to make your light into a point light. thanks for watching.

[@Super.Quasar]

Hi Tony, another great video that encourages me to try interesting setups. I came specifically to find a source for the dark cloth used, but I think it's missing from your listing. Any chance you could provide a supplier ? Regards.

[@CameraClubLive]

Sorry I meant to put the details in the description.
The material is black Wool Serge 565 (WS090 or WS091) and is available from J&C Joel Ltd

Thanks for watching.

Would you get the same spot / beam effect when using a snoot and placing the light closer to the subject?
Also, I was wondering if instead of a smoke machine some incense could provide enough smoke to get a similar effect.

[@CameraClubLive]

No, the effect is caused by having a point light some distance from a shadow board. it is the lack of shadow causes the beam effect. yes, you could use the smoke from an incense stick instead of a smoke machine. Thanks for watching.
