this guy is really good at explaining studio photography and what you actually need (not the fancy stuff but the right techniques).

This looks pretty cool too. Just add a lighting kit, you can change your backdrop as well. I like how you can shoot light underneath objects.

Yeah, just remember to use the dull side. Form a U, shape, and put it in there just like they have it, I'd have gone a little wider, and I would paint any parts of the inside cardboard frame white.
Alternatively you can use a gel between the outer light source and the softbox to change the color as well. Remember you only need the head attachment, not the entire softbox when you use the lightbox, because the lightbox itself is a diffuser. I use plain cardboard boxes, and paper mache for the side panels.

It's really the lighting I'm unsure about which is why that box with built-in lights might be easy and helpful.
- The light bounces off the walls and diffuses away most of the harshness and the hard shadows. This is especially true if you use flourescent lights.cherub

I got a few minutes if you have questions.
- A light box similar to this is actually the first project I ever did when I first started doing photography.cherub

I'm looking to shoot things on colored backgrounds / paper though.

You can totally use natural light.
Set up the curved colour background out side and place a white bounce fill card on the opposite side of the sun.
It's the cheapest way to do it if this is a one off thing.
