How to Build Your Own LED Softbox for Product Photography and Video
Don't buy, DIY
Whether you're taking stills or shooting video, in order to get that "liquid light" effect on a smooth surface you need a diffused light source. You could run out and drop several hundred dollars or more on an LED softbox, but here industrial designer Eric Strebel shows you how he built his own. The housing is simple aluminum sheeting from the big-box store and the components can be ordered online:

For the sheet metal box, those who don't have sheet metal bending brakes can go to a restaurant supply store or a baking supply store and buy a large rectangular cake pan. They're essentially the same shape as the box that was built for the lights.
This is what I'm talking about. I just Googled "Large cake pan", and this was one of the first hits.
That is a good idea. Nice alternative.
the big blue elk may have something up his sleeve, too ... this is a mid sized version and of course not a softbox, but with a different LED Setup it may have become one..
