@@drfkexplains87634 years ago Interesting lighting concept. I have not thought about it this way however not everyone has the resource or space for such setup. But the concept itself another thing i just noticed: d as i was playing the video without sound with subtitles so your body language became way obvious and i noticed that there is a jump or a twitch every few seconds at the end of a sentence that you make. Did you notice that? D
