Low Cost Light Diffuser
Light diffusers are used in film and photography to help diffuse harsh shadows from direct lights. You will find something like this in every film maker’s tool kit. This simple free standing design is low cost, portable and can be made in a few minutes.
I’ve also included a video of the diffuser build along with a PDF version of the plans.
