Ok, I need help guys! My brothers Christmas present fell through and I need to get him something quick. My idea is a PHOTOGRAPHY LIGHT TENT SOFT BOX LIGHTING CUBE setup type thing. Anybody tell me where I can get a good setup below $100 preferably brick and mortar store I can go get it (due to the time sensitivity) I am in the San Francisco bay area - (don't know if that helps my case)

Help!

if you are handy, you can do it up with pvc piping, white semi-sheer fabric. in the most basic form it's literally a tent, so it's not rocket science. just make sure the fabric is color neutral. nice features include a holder for a backdrop (large piece of of construction paper that covers the bottom and one side seamlessly) multiple shooting port-holes (front and top at least) and if you're getting fancy a system for mounting the lights, but with the ease of adjusting white balances in the digital workflow many folks use normal incandescent lamps.

I saw some at Wal*Mart for about $40. It was the collapsible tent and three swing arm lights.
