How I Make a Lightboard | Billy Backstage

Wonder how I film and edit my “Korean FAQ” videos? This is the first episode in a new (occasional) series where I’ll show what goes on behind the scenes of making my videos. This time we’ll look at how I make the “Korean FAQ” videos, which is my newest Korean teaching series utilizing something called a “lightboard.” This lightboard took me several days to put together and test out, and I’m still improving it with each iteration as I learn more about how to use it. Also I’d be happy to help out with your own build if you have any questions in the comments.

Just an update to this video. Last month I filmed some new "Korean FAQ" episodes and made a few changes to this setup - namely I upgraded my lighting equipment (I made a video about the lights I'm using in the 2nd episode of this "Backstage" series) and that alone had a really noticeable improvement in the quality of my lightboard. With stronger lights (instead of the can lights used for this video), I was able to turn up the aperture a bit higher to make the colors more vibrant and everything clearer. In the future I'd also like to experiment with different light positions to make myself stand out more in front of the black background. I'll make another update if things change majorly.

No interest in learning Korean but this is the best video I’ve found so far about making a light board setup! Bravo 🙏🏻😊

The light board is definitely a great idea for these types of videos, both for the viewer and the teacher. Cool vid!

Wow that used to really confuse me and i was like omg how can he write on nothing? Omg how can he write backwards? I had so many weird thoughts while trying to figure out what that was 😂😂😂

Hi Billy. I'm here because I'm interested in a light board. I don't know why in the world I would ever need one, but I really like the idea as a great teaching tool. I even saw a video where one can put projections on the board. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.

[elmoreglidingclub]

Excellent!! Thanks so much for the insight as I’m gathering materials to build a light board. Much appreciated.

What a brilliant setup!

This was a _great_ video, *Billy!* Thanks for the behind-the-scenes look at how you make these videos. They're really well done!

The LEDs at the bottom, it's a very clever idea.
