I'm working on the bus again!
It just might be a while. I thought I'd give you a quicky little update to let you know what's going on in bus land. I'm going to smell like steel dust and welding fumes for a little while.

Did you consider a meet & greet in D.C.?
I'm still considering it!
Diffusers! Diffusers will soften the light to make it more non-directional, while still lighting everything... That would help with the glare on the Whiteboard, and help fill in shadows of your face. You can then use a couple of box diffusers to give a 'flood' fill, then use a another more directional light to maintain contrast and depth perception.
Have a look at that guy's video on lightning, where he proves there's no need of a camera upgrade: https://youtu.be/0wqUWYx3UrY
Bob Ross used a very shiny plastic palette, but he made it matte so it wouldn't reflect the studio lights by giving it a good brushing with steel wool or something similarly scratchy. Maybe the same approach would work with your white board?
Thanks for the update. Keep the pace that works for you please. Quality over quantity any day.
Why not use a fake beard for the "aging aging wheeler" effect! Or maybe make a bearded "you" appear from the future and warn you not to make a mistake you're made? :D Not to say the bus is a mistake, it sounds amazing, but for comical effect. Also: why not try to bounce the light(s) through photography reflectors for softer lightning?
Why not replace it with a blackboard?
Or maybe a green blackboard (wow that seems ambiguous) so it doesn't cause as many issues with white balance?
