    I am not totally complete.. the sheet i bought still needs to be attached. I will be cutting it in half and putting velcro on the sides so that it can be removed easily.

    Shots today, with the hot light and one direct light above (one of those garage clamp lights.. that are like 8 bucks.. i have no clue what they are called)

    We really liked the success we had with this setup but wished we had one on either side of him, so i plan to make a second one so we can sorta clam shell the lights..
