Lighting 101: Flags, Silks, Nets, & Scrims
In today’s video we go over “flagging," including solids, silks, scrims, double nets and full solid flags, all of which shape and control light. John Gress even threw in a cucoloris for good measure. (What's the plural of cucoloris?)
While he has heard people refer to these collectively as “flags," the vernacular seems to be that something that light passes through is a scrim and something that blocks light fully is a flag. The Matthews RoadFlags kit for instance only has ONE flag. Maybe they should call it RoadFlag or RoadScrims. ;)
