Perhaps a filter can be applied to lighten it? But yes, lighting will be
an issue. I've been eyeing a Bunnings pair of floodlights on a tripod
stand for $35 in the back of my mind... possibly too pright as a direct
ligth source, but may be good if bounced off the ceiling? Or some sort
of filter infront (but that may be a little too much for us?).

Well, lets see if we have a way of having a stable webcam & host. I
wonder if a webcam attached to the Twinpact-host could provide an
intereting pic of the audience without impacting the capture of the
Twinpact?
