I have a west facing bay window totaling 7' long that has vertical blinds that I want to replace with something...what should I use for a softbox effect? Walls are this color.

I had my house painted a year ago and was struck by the material they used for masking windows and the beautiful diffused light it created inside. It's just a thin plastic sheet made by 3M. Comes in rolls of various widths and lengths at most paint stores. Cheap and disposable.

Slap it on with some masking tape, shoot, take it down. Very neutral in color. One layer takes about 1/2 to 2/3 a stop off the light, and diffuses indirect light very well. Two layers sometimes better for diffusing direct light.

Anyone have a source for DIY diffuse box material...would that work?
