What's a "Lightboard" Studio (How Do They Work?)

Here's how we built our Lightboard Video Studio to achieve that cool "Floating Neon Glass Whiteboard" effect - and how to make one yourself with a semi-simple DIY Project 😀

I was always so bamboozled like... deng all these glass writing professors are so good at writing backwards

[@StartupBros]

I heard Leonardo da Vinci could do that -- but I don't think I've heard of anyone else. Doesn't seem like a worthwhile skill to develop in 2020 :P

[@wizz_wuzz]

StartupBros it’s funny skill, and it seems everyone can master it, but ye, not sure if there’s any use of it 🙃

omg, thank you! I've been watching lightboard videos for a class and driving myself *nuts* trying to figure out how they were doing it. This is so neat!

I have always wondered how they shot that video, so this is so cool. I knew there was some kind of mirrors involved but, wasn't sure how.

[@ethantocco9695]

Why would you need a mirror? Just flip it around in the video editing software.

[@tarkesdora20]

Could you add up a tutorial if I want to project my laptop screen on the lightboard while teaching? for e.g. see Fourier series lectures of Prof. Steve Brunton. I guess some type of video mixers are being used.

[@arich23]

You don't need the mirror, just put the video in Windows movie maker and use a feature to flip horizontally. Which brand markers are you using?

[@saitrinathdubba]

That's really cool ! :)

[@latteproperty9514]

can you please show us your lighting set up for the talent (ie the type & location of lights that are shining on you in this video) P.S. awesome video!

Since your video recording device alao seems to be very fantastic.....

[@wonkook8858]

Thanks for the video. What is the thickness of the glass that you;re using ?

[@DaleEhrhartgisd]

video editing software (movie maker, Camtasia) will allow you to invert the footage.

[@narendra.y6992]

hello ! this is great amazing video i have ever seen but is that 10 mm plexi glass {plastic or glass } and that the led lights is covering the four sides under the glass ? please tell me about that im very intrested to make one for my youtube channel thanks in advance

AMAZINGLY CLEVER

[@zuhakhalid3139]

This is awesome thing.

[@withyouforyou9455]

what do you think will happen when we don't have the strips around the board but everything else...and may i know what color led strips you use if you are using it and if there is any specific color to make words brighter! Thank you in advance.

[@chriskomninakidis2082]

great job! i would like to ask you what kind o camera do you use

its more easily demo. more understandable love this

[@StartupBros]

Happy to help :)

[@jclint1968]

I’ve been interested in Light Boards for a year or more. I recently purchased a Video Wall Cart for my Digital Signage Business. This cart less the TV’s will make a perfect frame to do a Light Board. I’ve subscribed to you channel, I’ll let you know how think progress using the Video Wall Cart.

[@StartupBros]

We had to custom build the wood frame -- it was a pain, and the thing is unbelievably heavy. Hopefully your method works better than ours did! Would love to see more videos shot on these types of studio setups :)

[@tapeface2863]

I think the concept is "total internal reflection" in which the light reflects inside the mirror instead of coming out through phenomenon known as refraction

[@Alice_Sylvia]

where can you get a mini see through whiteboard from

[@AyezaTarriq]

Thank you dear. which camera you are using?

[@anapopescu2027]

mind blowing

[@StefanCristianStanel]

Hi this is very cool but I was just wondering how you might be able to prevent losing focus on the presenter? The text looks awesome but it would be nice to keep the presenter in focus as well. Is it possible to shoot the camera directly and flip the image in the editing software? Just wondering if it is the mirror actually distorting the image slightly? Cool project would like to try it out for my own content

[@RobbyCisneros]

The lens is probably wide open, so the depth of field is shallow. Close the iris more, to f/5.6 or more and it should be able to get both in focus

[@panmakry6808]

Do you need specifically starphire to make the refraction work or is it just for camera purposes?

[@prateekrajgautam]

Awesome

[@ridhiagarwal8524]

so what about the pen u r writing with....can we use a neon highlighter??

[@nataliaivashkina]

Who would have thought the lightboard will be the best board to be used for online classes specially during pandemic.

[@nicolaslamborelle1587]

Hi !
We just built one at our university but I have a hard time finding the right markers. Which brand and model do you use ?
Thanks !

[@paraskwatra2621]

What is the type of neon markers You're using there ?

[@user-fz1oj4bf6p]

i am really interested your glass learning. How to do it?

[@nicolasmartinsalvaneschi3108]

I need this, but im in Argentina, where can i get it?

[@dhavalaanand987]

Wow super......👍

[@adb0150]

Exellent!. How do you clear the lightboard to start a from a clean slate/board? Do you have to turn the LED array off and on over and over?

[@PaulStephenson003]

It seems to depend on the markers but if you use the neon expo dry erase ones we use a wet rag and then a micro-fiber cloth. It's impossible to get rid of all the smudges but if your exposure and lighting is correct you won't see them.

[@MakarkinPRO]

is it hard to clear that markers in online translations?

[@tlo9966]

how do you upload images? is that done with a projector?

[@rock3tcatU233]

Holy shit, this is genius!

What pen do you use? Thanks :)

[@balasubramaniam5516]

Hi, thanks for the video. I have a very important question. How do you clean/ wipe out the writings on the glassboard?
Our glassboard has many smudges and marks on it now. Please help.

[@StartupBros]

Cleaning this thing took me a couple days to figure out. I use Goo Gone + Bartender's Polishing Cloths to clean this (such as these - www.amazon.com/Microfiber-Polishing-2-Pack-Trendy-Bartender/dp/B00SCOSXAK)
Cleaning is certainly the biggest pain with this thing. You want to clean from the middle to the edges and kind of squeegee everything into the corners. There is no way to get it 100% clean when looking in real life - but you can easily get it clean enough to shoot an HD video through the glass perfectly.
Hope this helps!

[@muzamilahmed3127]

What if we use OLED technology with lightboard for digital diagrams and animation....
How it would be???

[@dr.salmanrana1417]

I don't even know there is a special term for this thing. thank you.

[@armandot9137]

How about mirroring in post?

[@GeorgeOu]

Why would you shoot through a mirror if it's easier to just flip it in post-production, or flip in real-time with OBS Studio or XSplit?

[@adityajain7765]

Hi Startup Bros, could you tell me about where to keep the light box for lighting, I am unable to put a light box on proper place, kindly guide me on this, it will really helpful for me.. Thanks

[@PaulStephenson003]

You must experiment here. try to keep the light from shining directly on the black cloth behind you or you'll get a shine in the video. Also don't have the lights too close to the black cloth or same issue.

[@EconomicsPlusNazrul]

Hi, Thanks for the helpful video. Can you share with me. What glass have you used in this board?

[@j4kelc]

He said it is StarPhire glass.

[@HelloWorld-yy6fi]

read post near beginning

[@aswinvijayakumar9331]

What pen should we use for demonstrating this technology?? @StartupBros

[@RJNair129]

Can we just use the adobe premiere pro to just flip the video horizontally?. That was the first thing that came up in my head. Never tried it though, so don't know if it works or not.

[@ledenwood5285]

Interior or exterior glass?

[@YazhShah]

Can the mirror effect be done through software? Actually Im dumb it can be used for live lectures.

[@thiyaguever]

Hi may i know the thickness of the glass?

[@mariajoserodriguez6163]

Do you think is better to use glass or acrylic? Cus acrylic seems like a better light conductor.

[@user-bc1qq7ux4s]

I wouldn't use acrylic. Sooner or later even fine scratches from writing on it will shine very bright due to the light "escaping" there.

[@josephxavier6481]

Can we use this board for teaching Accountancy?

[@Professor_Ilegal]

Hi, I’d like to know how far is your camera from your light board. I’d to know how can use my camera and maxima my write space!
Sorry about my English hugs from Brazil

[@lucasloud]

Hi there! How has the long-term use of this worked out? Has the glass gotten scratched, less clear, or dirty at all over time as you erase it again and again?

[@PaulStephenson003]

Cleaning is not the most fun but once you get the hang of it with a wet rag and micro-fiber cloth (if using the Neon Expo markers I discussed above) it's not too bad.

[@nicholastoo858]

You can flip the image in post.

[@dineshkachhi5441]

Hi,
Nice video , I have a question /doubt ..
can we use lightboard in live class room or i can only record and watch this?

[@user-ij5gv6ji5b]

Only if you are writing on the opposite side -the way all teachers write on the board, with a black background on the other side.
