Video Transcript

"So, let us deal with the background a little bit more. We have got that shadow. I do not like that shadow. Or, at least certainly not that strong. I could soften it by diffusing this with a diffusion panel. But, that takes away the magic to a degree. I am going to try and get rid of that, that shadow in another way. Part of it is out of my frame in the camera. But, I think that I can get rid of it by adding some light back in there. What will happen when we turn this light back on, is it is going to make that shadow less noticeable. So, we are going to add another light. Let us add another light just to deal with the background. So, it would be a background light. So, I have got another lamp here. And, I am going to push pull it over into this position here where the shadow is the strongest. And, let us direct it at that shadow and bring it up. Notice that the shadow is disappearing as this light comes on and is directed at that shadow location. It is a little hard to see whether it is enough, and that will depend upon the exposure I put in the camera. But, that has, as far as the camera is concerned, that main dark shadow is now invisible."
