Here is a tutorial that even your mother will understand, normal or half-normal.

I must emphasize that all the sponsored gear came from me contacting the makers of it, asking them to provide it. This is the gear I wanted to use and I knew the gear from before. No sponsor dictated what I could or couldn't do, say or don't say, when it came to the use of it.
