Although three point lighting is great when you can do it and control where your subject is, you really can’t do it in uncontrolled situations like a kid’s birthday party. I found quickly that using a bright light on the camera was worse than using flat room light because it was an unnatural glare and it really bothered the kids and distracted them, both with the wincing, then the showing off. My solution was to take one or more of those tall halogen torch lamps that were popular a while ago (and cheap!) and bounce good halogen light off the ceiling. The kids got used to it quickly, it didn’t move around attracting attention to itself, and I had much better light to work with to catch the natural action. Of course having all the light come from overhead did make the shadows somewhat unnatural, but with the entire ceiling as a light source, the shadows were soft.

That is exactly the results I'm looking to get in my video. I thought I'd have to buy a high end camera. What kind of light did you use for your key light here? What degrees was it in the Kelvin range? What wattage was it? Did you set your white balance to it's light reflecting off the board? Do you know if one can use a more common full spectrum light, instead of speciality professional grade bulb? Thanks Amazing results! That is exactly the results I’m looking to get in my video.
