AI Thread Summary
For effective lighting in video production, a handheld light source that emits white light is essential. Suggestions include searching for keywords related to "LED white light bulb," "portable light socket," and "adjustable light stand" on platforms like eBay or Google. To enhance lighting quality, consider using white filters to cover yellow bulbs and bounce light off white surfaces for optimal film results. Additionally, using a green background can be beneficial for post-production effects in software like Adobe After Effects.

So far I have the camera and the external microphone, but I realized that I'm probably going to need some light. I want to get some handheld light source that can provide white light (not the ugly yellow light a lot of bulbs produce). Any ideas on some keywords I could search for on Ebay or Google to help me find what I'm looking for? All I need is a bulb that produces white light, a socket that I can plug it into that is attached to a wire and I'm free to move the light where ever I want. Any ideas on how I could find this? Thanks.

You can Also use a green background(In case you want to use adobe aftereffects) :)

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
