In Leaving Teaching – My Story, I mention that I used my transferable skills creating videos for businesses. Now that I am a Learning Technologist, I have no need for a lot of the equipment that I bought to help me in that job and have put them up for sale.
If you are interested in buying any of this equipment then please get in touch at craig@ex-teachers.uk. I am based in the West Midlands area (Stoke-on-Trent / South Staffordshire / Birmingham / Sutton Coldfield) for collection/delivery.

5300K Fluorescent Lights and batten fittings – £50 ono
When you’re using green screen, it is essential to light your screen evenly. I did this by using fluorescent tubes. I got the idea from this Video Marketer’s Guide to using Green Screen video. You can see how even the lighting is behind the person in photo 3, above. This made it very easy to key out the green in Adobe Premiere Pro.
The 4 fluorescent tubes are Philips TL-D 90 Graphica 58W 950 – 150cm. The fluorescent tubes are fitted in battens, two tubes in each batten. I fitted each batten with switched 2 core cable flex with plug. I attached both battens to Calumet light stands (I am selling those separately). I am asking £50 ono for the fluorescent tubes/batten/switched cable/plug set-up.
