"Hi, I'm Michael Seto. In this clip we're going to talk about how to light a piece of plexi-glass from below, to achieve a white background for a piece of jewelry. So what we're going to do is ahead of having the plexi-glass flat on the table, I just got a couple pieces of styrofoam that came out of a box holding some electronic gear. And I just put it right here underneath the plexi-glass. So, that's off the ground, we've got the jewelry on top, as well as the lights that are going to go on it. So, how are we going to light this underneath? We'd need to get a light under there to provide a little bit of back lighting and illuminate the plexi-glass. So, what we've got here is our light that's going to go underneath. Notice I chose fluorescent bulbs because again this is cooler, as well the color of these fluorescent bulbs matches the fluorescent bulbs in my other two overhead lamps. And that's going to make getting the white balance easy. So it's critical to try and back light if you're trying to get a pure white background.The way of doing that, I think the best way of doing that is a piece of a clear, white plexi-glass, that's going to allow the light to come through and gives you that white background without over-exposing the jewelry itself."
