Spent most of today re-lighting the review desk. Same camera, same lens, and the footage still looked wrong until we moved one key light about eight inches. That is most of this job. The scripts get rewritten twice, the b-roll gets shot three times, and the thing viewers notice is whether the product reads clearly on screen.

Eight inches is always the difference. Nobody believes it until they see the two takes side by side.

What did you land on for the key, softbox or bounce?

Reads clearly on screen is the only spec that matters. The rest is vanity.

Re-lighting a desk is a full day gone. Ask me how I know.
