How to Build a Lightboard Studio 

Sweet! Good luck with your setup. Prepare for a bit of frustration as you will probably need time to tweak your equipment and settings. Though, nothing involved is very difficult. It just takes some time.

Dan, good luck with your implementation. Honestly, feel free to reach out to me at mnevins@everettcc.edu, if you have any specific questions about your implementation. Be sure to give your email a specific title like "Lightboard Question" so that I can find it in the chaos of my inbox.

Thanks! Btw, love your name.

Best of luck! Reach out if you end up having any specific questions.

:) Thanks Joseph!

Rodrigo, awesome! Good luck with your new studio. So much fun.

Thanks a lot Mister Nevins...!

Thanks!

I will work to follow up with such a video. Though, I only have ONE camera! I would need to figure out how to capture the camera setup with a 2nd camera.

The plexiglass is 3/16 inches or about 4.7625 mm

Trust me do low iron glass I started with plexi and regretted it

Riaz, I am far from an expert on the lighting. I am still constantly tweaking the lighting for my setup. I did some searches on RU-vid for "Studio Lighting for video" and found a few videos that gave me the basic concept. Here is a good example video on 3-point lighting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j_Sov3xmgwg.html&ab_channel=DiCasaFilm

@@differentiatedcalculus8634 Thanks a lot for your reply

Yep! I never take off the polarized filter. Definitely follow up, if you have additional questions!

Joseph, regarding "How many boards would I need for Physics grad school and beyond for long problems ?", that's really tough to say. If you are hoping to create a video, the real question becomes "How much of the problem do you want to appear on the users screen at one time?". I think one screen is solid. The learner can always scrub through the timeline to see the entire process. Though, that's just my thought. Finally, regarding " I can expect to instruct like that if I'm at a University or College ?", I don't think you can expect it at this point. There are not many of us currently using this technology. Though, I do expect the use to grow.

I use Adobe Premiere to edit my videos. I am planning on producing a short video on my editing process, but I am currently knee-deep in developing Precalculus content (my current priority). Though, I should be able to upload a tutorial by the end of the summer.

Just over 3 years (and almost 300 lectures) later and it is doing excellent! Just be sure to use the right kind of cleaner and microfiber towels.

We use Acrylic Glass or Plexiglass. It is available at building material stores, where I live.

@@differentiatedcalculus8634 how can I get.I have no idea I also check out Amazon where light board is not available

Chad, I just measured my plexiglass thickness and it is 3/16". I don't know how much the thickness would affect the LED lighting. Though, I think thicker would be better to minimize any bending while you are writing on it. I have had no problem with my glass moving on me. Good luck with your build!

@@differentiatedcalculus8634 Thanks for taking time to respond; much appreciated!

Plexiglass is also called Acrylic Glass. It is a type of "plastic" glass. I used it mostly out of cost and ease of use. I have had my lightboard for almost 3 years and have had no problem with the plexiglass.

@@differentiatedcalculus8634 I almost have my light board set up. My main problem is balance. It is heavy and moves when I write on it.

Get low iron glass.

@@samhylandmarketinguse casters and lock it down. If that doesn’t work use 80/20 aluminum frame around your glass. It will stiffen it up for you

The sheet of glass I bought was a standard 4 feet by 8 feet sheet. The reason for that is because that is what was available to me.

@@differentiatedcalculus8634 Many thanks 😊. Best of luck 👍I also subscribed to your channel. By the way the quality of your voice is superb 👌.

Software in the video will automatically flip the video for you.

Or you can use a Decimator or I use Hall Technologies SC - HD 4k. Flips it in real time so No need for post flip. If you don’t want to spend $ on the hall or decimator. in post it’s One click and flip…done
