I'm trying to make a large LED grid (23x10 with 4inx4in squares), and I've been experimenting with what the cheapest way to do it is. I can make one of these for around 75 cents USD. The layers are:
It's pretty easy to construct (the hardest part is soldering on the connectors), but I have several complaints I'd love cheap alternatives to.
The ones that work the best are the tracing and nylon, but it's still not great.
Happy to talk about the project, and would love advice if anyone has done something similar!
​
Edit: I just tried making the housing thicker (from 0.5in to 1.5in) and it made it a LOT better. I think I'm happy with it now as long as I can find a way to clean up the edges.
/u/jamesseventwenty - with a £200 budget, I recommend a [£99 gimbal for your phones] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zhiyun-Smooth-Q-Stabilizer-Smartphone-Black/dp/B06XNNV5NJ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-21), a [£79.99 Neewer bi-color LCD panel] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NAGWKPF//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-21), a [£14.45 light stand] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/KONIG-Photography-Professional-Studio-Photolamps/dp/B0119T634M//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-21), some [diffusion fabric] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Seamless-Diffusion-Photography-Lighting/dp/B06XSBDWXX/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-21) and a [set of reflectors] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Portable-Collapsible-Photography-Reflector/dp/B005M09B4E/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-21).
With this setup, you can simulate two decent lights with the LED plus the reflector - or with sunlight and the reflector - and you can have crew hold the diffuser up as a scrim to soften the light (or you can build your own DIY scrim, as seen [here] (https://youtu.be/tyrcM1TJMSo)).
Here are a couple of examples shot with gimbal mounted phones and good lighting:
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your video!
I used to do professional lighting, and here is my best trick in a pinch:
