The effect is subtle enough for small products.

I can think of several movies that used this cheap trick.

17. BOOKENDS

You’ll find references throughout these pages, and in most of my other books, to a “bookend.” A bookend is a simple homemade light modifier. To build one, take two pieces of 4×8-foot white and/or black foamcore and tape them together along one common vertical edge. Also known as a V-card, and perhaps a few other names, this freestanding modifier is usually used to lighten (“open up”) or darken shadows, depending on which side faces the subject.

While I use bookends for their traditional use often, I also like to turn them into a light source unlike anything else in the studio. At approximately $20 per foamcore sheet, you will need to invest around $160 for the 8 sheets you will need. Trust me. You’ll know you’ve not wasted your money once you see your first result.
