@Shroomster
in the videos that we filmed after this one we did just what you suggested
@louddifference
In the videos we filmed after this we made those changes except for the white surface and your first suggestion of putting the camera above and showing down
You can go and watch some of our newer videos (i could post the links here but i don't want to get in trouble for spamming or something like that) to see the changes we made.
I'm really thankful for all the suggestions!
