ITEMS USED TO MAKE THE BOUNCE:
A1 stretched canvas
Cable ties
Hook and loop velcro tape
Pins
Screws
Black material (we used "theatre curtain", good thickness, flame retardant, etc - the classic one to use it duvetyne)
Bounce material (we used unbleached muslin - makes for a warm, smooth, bounce light)
We also used a bradawl to make the holes, screwdriver to screw in the screws (what a sentence) and fabric scissors to cut the material.
And a stapler!
One update after using the bounce a few times: staple more of the velcro than just the ends, as it will start peeling off of the material :D or there may be a better solution - I'm rubbish at this stuff ;)
Sometimes, creating your own solution is the best way to get around issues that you might face when working on budgets in your video/photo work. We make a DIY overhead bounce, which can be controlled via makeshift flags, and also use velcro tape to make the bounce material swappable - giving you more options when it comes to using the canvas. And the whole setup is very light, meaning you're able to hang it from cheaper boom arms - don't go too cheap though ;)

I honestly feel that your channel is so underrated. Your videos are so in depth and actually shows how it is done and how it looks in cam. I hope your videos get more attention cos they’re really amazing!
I was skeptical at the start, not realizing this was a bounce, but instead thinking it was going to be another janky way to hang a light, like most videos would show. I should have expected better coming from you though, this is genius. I love the simplicity of this, and it allows for a much more minimalistic lighting kit!
The benefits of being subscribed to your channel are that older videos like this come up in my feed. This is an excellent DYI solution. Something I can build once, and use over and over for all of my present and future projects. Thank you so much.
Neat little contraption innit? I’ll have to try it sometime…
Love the choice in calm music to so peaceful to watch the whole video and just absorb the information
This man deserves a million subs instantly, quality of information and the way it’s presented is insanely good. Thank you for your amazing videos
Your lesson is mesmerizing and high-quality. Dramatic and informative. Great editing!
Can’t figure out how UA-cam managed to keep your channel off my feed all this time. You sir are a very precious source of inspiration for the filmmaking community. Subscribed!
This is fantastic Rob. Thanks for making and sharing it. Really appreciate your approach to working.
Great work as always sir, your channel deserves way more views and engagement than it gets
Dont quit Rob. You are a good one.
Can't tell you how much I appreciate you showing the results of different methods. Thank you!
I was thinking of a setup like this yesterday and now you're video comes out on time! Incredible! Great content as always! 👌
You are the new Roger Deakins! Thank you for this amazing lesson!
I'm not even doing cinematography yet i find your videos enjoyable and captivating. Very calm and beautiful.
Amazing content. I’ll have to try this with the source four junior zoom lights I just bought off of eBay. I absolutely love anything DIY that turns out to be so practical!
This is so so amazing
I literally don't click on any video unless the creator puts 'cinematic' in the title, so thank goodness you did, because this is great! And suitably cinematic.
Thanks for you’re work
Fab as always man.
