What's a 'Lightboard' Studio (How Do They Work?)

Here's how we built our Lightboard Video Studio to achieve that cool "Floating Neon Glass Whiteboard" effect — and how to make one yourself with a semi-simple DIY Project 😀

Finally found out how these boards work. I can die in peace now

[cryd]

I did wonder how everyone using these managed to be so good writing backwards with their left hand :-D
Thank you for the video!!

[cokktail]

Really nice!
I was watching another video that had this lightboard and I couldn't pay attention to it because I was trying to figure how the board works haha

[CowardlyShep]

omg, thank you! I've been watching lightboard videos for a class and driving myself *nuts* trying to figure out how they were doing it. This is so neat!

[elgatito]

Now back to actually focusing on those online classes 😂

This video has me nerding out on a different level! I am a CyberSecurity Analyst for a college here in Montana and I wanted to find a way to bring what we do here in IT to the college in a way that will keep college students interested. Found out we have a full blown lightboard studio and this is perfect. Thank you for all the information!

I was always so bamboozled like... deng all these glass writing professors are so good at writing backwards

I have always wondered how they shot that video, so this is so cool. I knew there was some kind of mirrors involved but, wasn't sure how.

Why would you need a mirror? Just flip it around in the video editing software.

[DaleEhrhartgisd]

video editing software (movie maker, Camtasia) will allow you to invert the footage.

[arich]

You don't need the mirror, just put the video in Windows movie maker and use a feature to flip horizontally. Which brand markers are you using?

[erikschaepers]

This is really such a cool technology ....awesome video !

Hi this is very cool but I was just wondering how you might be able to prevent losing focus on the presenter? The text looks awesome but it would be nice to keep the presenter in focus as well. Is it possible to shoot the camera directly and flip the image in the editing software? Just wondering if it is the mirror actually distorting the image slightly? Cool project would like to try it out for my own content

Could you add up a tutorial if I want to project my laptop screen on the lightboard while teaching? for e.g. see Fourier series lectures of Prof. Steve Brunton. I guess some type of video mixers are being used.

[ChadWiebe]

such a cool idea, I just had this idea for my channel, can't wait to get started!

[amatullahfarabi]

Thanks a LOT, I couldn’t get any idea before how they reflected to right side, I couldn’t get or understand any info about the mirror ago. I got it here. Awesome 🎉

[jackcastro]

its more easily demo. more understandable love this

I’ve been interested in Light Boards for a year or more. I recently purchased a Video Wall Cart for my Digital Signage Business. This cart less the TV’s will make a perfect frame to do a Light Board. I’ve subscribed to you channel, I’ll let you know how think progress using the Video Wall Cart.

For those who are looking for the explanation of how lightboard works - this is all you need

This is so well engineered and simple.
