      I really like the tip of bouncing the lights off the white board for the key light. My light is always too harsh and I'm always trying to get soft lighting when I don't have the correct equipment

Or are you able to get rid of the flickering just by adjusting the shutter on the camera?? Cheers! amazing as always!
