Re: Lighting Flicker!!

have you tried setting all in manual?

Re: Lighting Flicker!!

Our advice is to put paper on the lamps.

Re: Lighting Flicker!!

Paper really doesn't help much if you have two lamps. Are you using software to capture your frames 100DC? If not, it would be the best way. I got rid of my flicker by not setting the exposure on my camera. And by the way, it looks like your copying someone...

Re: Lighting Flicker!!

the light could be bouncing off your body depending on where you stand. try hiding under something or standing behind a black curtain etc.

Re: Lighting Flicker!!

Our paper has worked with two lamps.

Now thats not true, just because FF101 happened to make his batman series funnier than most others, and has more subs, doesn't mean he is the only one that can do it! on a side note, i like the settup, very nice house sets man!

I have awesome sauce in my veins! Which i sprinkle on each of my videos to give it an extra dose of aweomseness!

Re: Lighting Flicker!!

I used to have this problem on my camera. Now some cameras have a stupid function called Auto Brightness ajust. However if you go into your cameras settings like I did, you can change it from Auto to Manual. This will stop light flicker. however if you are still having problems may I suggest either trying to keep your shadow off the set or check if there is any sunlight casting onto your set.
Hope I helped mini/smile
