Great video, where did you get yours retro flash?

Can you do more videos about flash? if you do i'll gladly subscribe. The look you showed is honestly what i'm looking for and I struggle to do that. I am very disappointed you haven't showed enough "On Set" videos to demonstrate. Do you expose for the background and try different flash settings? etc.. I really wanna know. Thanks! a videos about editing those will be honestly perfect as well.
