Mate - you need to actually read the replies that Jay has clearly spent some considerable time on.

The arguments that are usually put forward state that the Apollo photos show shadows that fall incorrectly for a single, distant light source. They also state that shadows should not be backfilled sufficiently to allow detail to be photographed. Both claims are nonsense. What Jay and the film crew did was show that a single distant light source will permit backlighting of shadows, and will produce shadows that the HB's incorrectly regard as anomalous. The set up was not designed to show how the missions could have been hoaxed, it was designed to show that the claims of abnormal backlighting & shadows were without basis.

If you want to argue closer lights - go ahead. But now the onus falls on you to explain the lack of multiple shadows, sharply defined shadow edges, lack of multiple light sources in reflective surfaces, etc etc etc.
