Ed, you're a photo guy. I had to shoot this video outside to get even lighting without glare and enough light to make the close-ups work, everything I tried with artificial light failed. There is definitely something to be said for natural light.

Tom,
Closeups are always difficult to get the lighting just right. Using artificial lighting you have to be concerned about white balance which can leave a colored tinge to the picture/video which would need to be corrected in post processing if it's not set correctly in camera. Glare is a problem that can be dealt with using polarizing filters. I've never used one for closeups but they should help. You are right though, natural lighting makes things a little easier.
I'll have to watch the video when I get home from work.
