The outtake I placed the light right over the camera shining on the paperclips. The entry shot I moved the light between the paperclips and the highlighters, so the paperclips were in silhouette only and the highlighters were much brighter. I moved the light around a lot but it just wasn't what I wanted. Moving the light in front of the clips was just strictly chance, I didn't plan it that way. But it looked really cool.
I actually started with 4 paperclips and water for drops, which was extremely unreliable with very small drops. The paperclips were also very angled. But I got everything fixed and went to 3 clips. My wife suggested the castor oil.
