Looks like a great setup! If I may offer a bit of advice as an audio engineer; you've treated the high frequency reflections very well with the blankets and curtains, but there's something a bit woofy in the low-end which you might want to treat as well. Bass traps in the corners of the room would be a good start, and also consider a sofa on the back wall between your C-stands and your lamp. There's a reason every recording studio has one :)

Hey Rodney, Caleb actually has an older video where he demonstrates this a bit, albeit with a different setup. It's titled "How to Light People With Glasses and Avoid Glare" But if you look closely, in this video you do see some reflection in his glasses here, it's just that with a huge source, it's much more subtle than a tiny source and that video I mentioned demonstrates how source size changes the way reflection looks really nicely about 2 minutes in. Side note but I used to play board games quite a bit from 2013-16 and watched your channel very regularly to inform my purchases. Unfortunately, that hobby sort of fell out of my life when I moved away from the people I played with regularly. But I appreciate your channel quite a bit and I just checked it out a little bit for the first time in quite a long time and it's wonderful to see how it's grown and the ways that your setup and production values have evolved in that time. Wishing you continued success man!
