Rosco 3030 Cinegel Grid Cloth Roll

A reinforced diffusion material that is similar to the silk used in butterflies and overheads. Ideal for tenting and large area diffusion. Can be sewn and grommetted.

A relatively dense diffusor that creates a soft field of light without shadows
Excellent for frames and raised lights. Especially useful outside when the wind creates noise problems with other plastic diffusors.

Lighting fixtures for film and video production usually function by means of a reflector that gathers the light from a point source and focuses it through a lens. The result is a beam that has a high level of intensity or "punch".

But these fixtures also present a number of drawbacks: the projected beam field may be uneven in intensity, the beam edge may be too harsh, or the hard shadows created by the beam may be objectionable or unflattering to the subject.

Placed in the beam path, diffusion materials modify the harsh quality of the beam by spreading or dispersing the light. This effectively softens the beam and alters its shadow-casting properties. In addition, diffusion reduces the contrast between highlight and shadow areas.
