qik studio setup - photos

: How everything is positioned. I sit on the little brown bean bag between the stool with the N96 and the TV screen - Uploaded with AirMe

: The graphics are shown on a Sony Bravia screen via the Apple TV - Uploaded with AirMe

: The Apple TV pulls in my Flickr photos from the backgrounds for Qik set and displays them on the Sony Bravia to create the animated background graphic. Green screen? Who needs green screen when you have back projection :) - Uploaded with AirMe

: This is the view I have when recording a video. The image on the MacBook Pro's screen is usually magnified further - Uploaded with AirMe

: Since the N96 does not have a swivel screen (is there a good swivel-screen phone that works with Qik?), I'm running PhotoBooth on my MacBook Pro with the screen zoomed in as my viewfinder - Uploaded with AirMe

: The spotlight is harsh and I might make a makeshift filter for it but it nevertheless makes a huge difference - Uploaded with AirMe

: The N96 is front-heavy and topples over without support. This broken piece of plastic from my discarded Think Outside bluetooth keyboard comes to the rescure - Uploaded with AirMe
