Gripe about the E-Media Video Studio

The roof is much too low and therefore the lights hang much too low - ideally, the roof needs to be at twice its current height for my purposes. However, I can't really complain because there aren't better facilities available and I certainly couldn't devise something like this at home.


The problems posed by the roof at is current height is:

1) Beams of light and lens flares are easily visible in the frame and when someone is standing its a nightmare to get them within the frame without the light interfering.

2) Its difficult to make the light appear its coming from a certain direction. By this I refer to the natural light in the background plate not matching the artifical lighting in the video.

How about putting filters over the lights? When I am animating with Lego bricks, and my lights are too close and are a problem, I stick a piece of white paper over them, as a filter, and it works well. :-)
