			<description><![CDATA[i use two 15-20 dollar desk lamps that clamp to the sides of my desk (this offers more animating room) with white light bulbs.
i once put black out material (purchased from the local art store) over my windows but i found out that you could get almost the same effect with a little mini studio. The mini studio is a cardboard box with holes on the sides to control the lighting. It doesn't offer much room to animate though but the result is very good.

 heres more on it  [url]http://www.stopmotionpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=202&Itemid=126/[/url]

my box is bigger, about a foot or two around each side with a hole on either side to brighten it up more]]></description>

You know, I've heard that, but have never had much trouble with it. (It seems to be the classic new brickfilmer problem, but I guess I missed class on the day when they teach you how to put light flicker into your films. :))

If I do get a little bit of flicker, I usually just run the clip through Virtualdub's MSU Deflicker plugin. It works very well.

			<description><![CDATA[On the subject of diffusion of common luminaires (whether they be articulated desk lamps or cheap clamp on work lamps), I prefer to use [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchment_paper_(baking)]Parchment Paper[/url] as the diffusing screen. I like the way it throws light (it lets more light through than your standard printer paper), it's designed to be more thermal resistant than standard papers so I'm less concerned about possible fire hazards, and you can find rolls of it pretty cheaply at most grocery stores.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If you were to diffuse your lights by putting paper over them, I recommend that you make sure that the paper doesn't touch the lamp. You could 'bubble' the paper so that the middle pops out and doesn't touch the lamp/light bulb. Just tape the corners of the paper to the head of the lamp. 

It has helped me tremendously. Hope you get what I mean.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=AmandaHart]Contrary to what fib said, I do use some ambient light in the room I'm filming in. I also use two basic lamps, each with a sheet of paper taped to them to create very soft light. This usually works pretty well. Other than that, just play with setups that look natural. Also make sure that your camera settings are tweaked for the best results. Even with all that, I usually color correct my footage in post-production.

Its really not good to use Ambient Light, as its uncontrolled and can cause flicker.

As for covering your lamps, any sensible brickfilmer does that. It's called "Diffusing" your light.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Apart from what fib12345 said (all very good points), it's also handy to see a picture of what your lighting setup looks like now. Remember that in most cases your lamps will be pretty close to the set, less than 3 feet (or one meter) away.]]></description>

1) No windows
2) No Ambient Lighting
3) Wear Dark Clothes
4) BLACK LEGO PARTS REFLECT LIGHT
