Wow,

Mark, John, thank you both so much for your quick and detailed responses!!

So, I think I have to stick with the camera being at a straight on shot in order to get the look I’m going for, but I’ll definitely try the 70 degree angle.

We actually did but white reflective paper for the walls and hoped that would work if we shone the lights at it instead of the board. It didn’t. I guess the foamcore board would be a lot more reflective than the paper?

Also, the room is long, but not so wide. So the lights on the side can’t go farther back than 3 feet or so away from me each.

I’m willing to spend another couple thousand dollars to get this shot right, and if that means selling back the LED’s as used lights and buying the requisite Rifta lights or 3×3 softbox instead. But do you suggest first getting a lighting expert to come to the site and assess? Most local experts I contacted said they have no idea how to light a dry-erase board. Do either of you guys have anyone to recommend in Brooklyn, NY?

I really appreciate your help so much. I wish I had found this site earlier.
