don't worry bout any of that stuff as far as steppin on toes..the way i see it, the more resources there are from good flippers, the better. And it's always better to have more than one source for a single trick to get different perspectives on it when learning.
as far as my background goes, i just use a black sheet and tons of light..that's the key. you wanna wash that shit out so that when you go back in and color correct it..it will be pitch black background, but still be bright enough on your knife. I use cheap floodlights from the hardware store for about 10 bucks a piece..2 of those..and then my regular room lights...i use full spectrum bulbs, so i get a white color instead of yellow light.
one thing about black backgrounds is that it does reflect onto your blade...so i'm still messin around with the perfect light angles for it...but you will see in some of my vids is that the blade disappears depending on the angle, that's cause it's reflecting the black...so i usually try to aim a light straight forward..one angled upwards from the floor and another from a high position angled downwards to try and bring light in from every direction that my knife might end up in.
also, congrats on the vegas 9....learn to use it and you will be making some sick ass vids....the cloning and time freeze effect on vegas can produce some sick effects if you get creative with it.
