How To Make Diffused Light Boxes for Better Photo and Video in ANY Space

[@kfwoeltje]

Fun (and practical) project - thanks for documenting it

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

It’s a practical one this week :) but we wanted to be sure to show how we did it bc we ended up super happy with the results

Does the mylar have a shiny and a dull side? It looks almost like the inside of the box had a duller finish to the blanket. Cool project either way - thanks for the vid 😊

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

Shiny on both sides 👍🏻👍🏻

Love that, actually looking for a video light right now. But you didn't show where the strip enters/leaves the second segment of the frame? I think at 5:15 I can almost see it, but how did you get it through when each post got two screws at the end where light goes through?

[@DryerFryer]

Interesting! Might give it a try myself

3:00 I think you vould put an additional layer of fabric above the mylar before stapling to make it tear harder and more durable.

Can I ask how much it was in total? (Excluding work time I assume) And would you mix it up with other lights? I would assume so. A little more brightness? Or you recon it's just sufficient/as you'd want it.

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

Total cost was about $35, but we already had the LED strip lights kicking around so I’m not sure the cost of those if we’d purchased specifically for this. We have other dimmable overhead lights in the shop too plus these “windows” positioned on the exterior. Then we can pull the blinds and completely control the “natural light” even if it’s dark out or a rainy day

What kind of masking tape do you use?

[@Stakespecialty]

I think if you hit it with a hair dryer or jeat gun it will shrink and tighten up a but.... Just ne careful you dont burn it
