Matt black spray paint on the inside will give you much better control of the light.
 
you mean people actually plan these instead of keeping some black card in the bottom of the peli :p

good job these do look really professional, the inside is the important bit to be black as Garry said, outside is just for purtyness
 
Well done bro! If you have black inside one end and white the other end you get different effects. The black dof kills light reflecting around the end for a more defined falloff and the white end allows more light to bounce for a softer edge to the light. I make em out of foam and velcro as well now. Grid spots next, mate?
 
nice work. i made a selection of these using black and white fun foam from an art shop. awesome for controlling light for stuff like smoke pictures.

I knew I was supposed to be doing something with these 2 sheets of 3ft x 3ft black correx sat behind my desk. ;)
 
Bloody right! I used black straws and golf club tape, which was a real labour of love.
 
Yeah, that stuff is great. Great for light painting too.
 
About the same price as a bit of foam or cardboard? Can make HUNDREDS for that price. Yours do look decent though. ;)
 
I use home made black 'foam paper' stuff ones too. Mainly cos they fold up totally flat and save loads of case room.
