			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Your image isn't loading for me, but there are things unrelated to studio set-up that could be causing your flicker. When you animate, do you wear black clothing? If not, you might be inadvertently reflecting light onto the set- and since you're never in exactly the same place, the amount of light changes from frame to frame, causing flicker. Wearing dark clothing (and if you're pasty white like me, clothing that covers most of your skin) and sitting in a consistent location when you take each frame should help somewhat.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Double-post.

I've put baking paper over the lights, and...no difference :(  If anything, one of the shots I did this afternoon has even worse light flicker, and the colour of the blue screen looks flat. Also, I'm still getting a lot of blue 'reflected' onto my LEGO pieces, which After Effects then wants to key out. Any suggestions of what to do? Can anyone post their studio set-ups?]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[The paper is called parchment paper or wax paper and comes in the same type of boxes with a roll as plastic wrap.
I'm not sure how masking tape handles heat also I tried using parchment paper and my lamps and because it's a bit slick it kept falling off. If I were you I would first try duct tape and see how that works it's durable and is stickier than masking tape but not really sticky like packaging or scotch tape.]]></content>

Well, not literally. But I'll look for that kind of paper, thanks!!!

Also, any thoughts on how to stick it on? Will masking tape be okay, or will the heat do [i]baaaad thiiings[/i] to it?]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I've been looking around at people's BTS pics lately, and y'all be puttin' white paper over yo' lights to diffuse the light. Apparently, it also diffuses flicker and right now flicker is my worst enemy.

However, I'm not sure if it would work with my lights, since they're actual studio lights: [img]http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ZoefDeHaas/WIP/studio_setup_2.jpg[/img]

Can someone explain to me whether this will work or not, and how it diffuses the lgiht? I'm in college right now, so I can't go and test it out for myself :) 

Thanks!]]></content>
