    Not sure if you're still responding since this was done s long time ago but I did this set-up and it came out very good except for one thing. I have a diy diffuser and the texture and pattern of the material shows up through the liquid. Did you have this problem? If so how did you solve it? Or should I just find different material? Thanks. And I really like your video style
