Cool, but Paul, I have a question. It seems that you used rather elaborate setup. My experiments with that trapezoid moving (or sliding) flash bounce card (made after that video published here) show that for cases such as this simpler setup would also work just as good. May I ask isn't it natural to want to have minimal light setup that will answer all your requirements?
