basically I am looking into getting some lights / maybe a softbox cover to do some video recording (pokemon booster / random box opening) mostly two lights or something to either sit on either side of my desk or behind a chair and wondered if any of you guys knew if any of these lights would be decent enough.. bare in mind though the style of light is something i kinda wanna stick with (may be inclined to go for a bendy light instead) also.. dose anyone know if a silver umbrella ( http://goo.gl/DwYXol ) would do any good for recording?

Depending on the lamp you use, it may get too hot after a while. If you find a nice pure white florescent lamp or just your darn phone and either bounce it off a piece of paper or through one of those cloth things, you should be good to go. It's ultimate ghetto, but it works, at least I know the paper thing works.
