Tips & Tricks: Foam Core & Mirrors

Our director Bill is back with DIY tips for tabletop product video and photography shoots. Scrap foam core from production houses is free and perfect for makeshift flags or bounces. Just tape an L bracket to the back using gaff or duct tape from a hardware store. Now you have an easy bounce or flag.

Mirrors are another great tabletop tool to direct and control light. Tape a mirror to manipulate exactly where light hits the subject. Get creative with supplies - mirrors allow intricate lighting.

These simple DIY techniques help maximize production value on a budget. Test them out on your next tabletop shoot and let us know how it goes! 📸
