Somewhere on the bottom of the glass, I found something written inside the glass. Not visible directly in the glass unless I was shining the light through it. It says Nachtmann = Night Man
I find it actually pretty cool.

Pro Tip:

Make sure your light sources are as small as possible. Just tape your light source and pinch a hole into the tape. Good enough. See here, this is how I did it.

The second option like in the 'making of video', take your light source far away. I had the camera in the living room and the light in the kitchen. That was an easy 10-12m distance.

Here is how:

I really tried to keep it super short and simple.

I hope it was somewhat inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.
