My friend Linsey asked me how I was getting a certain effect to my photos recently. She wanted to know what I was using and the answer was super simple. I bought two pieces of posterboard that had a two tone color to them. One is blue to yellow and the other is yellow to pink. I’ve been using them for a while now and I am noticing that my photos are looking very much the same. They are better for filming and for showcasing the toys. I’ll be picking up some more posterboard soon in different colors to match the different toys better.
So the technique is placing the posterboard down at a curve so that there are no angles. Then the light makes the poster a bit shiny at the curve. I’m going to figure out better ways to use these and the lights that I use for filming my videos. As I learn more I will make more videos like the one below.
We received a large box of fantastic Star Wars toys from Hasbro and a Blu-ray/DVD copy of the Force Awakens to use to have a viewing party. Opinions of the movie and the toys are 100% our own.
I’ve personally seen #StarWars #TheForceAwakens four times now and have enjoyed it each and every time I’ve seen it. We’ve seen it as a family now twice and the kids really enjoy it. This Christmas was a huge Star Wars year because the kids wanted Star Wars toys and books. Eva got a ton of books and has been reading all of them ever since. Her favorite is a book called Everything you want to know about Star Wars. And last week we watched the season finale of Star Wars Rebels. The storytelling around Star Wars is incredible and we are such fans. We even made this little video for today’s vlog all about the party package that we received.
