Shadowfoils are an inexpensive portable background pattern solution designed for ENG and other location lighting purposes. They can be used either directly on the barn doors or hung from a c-stand.They are great for creating breakup patterns for interview backgrounds, tabletop shots, or any lighting situation that requires a quick lighting breakup.

Much of my work in the film and video industry is done on the road. With ever constricting production budgets and travel restrictions, it is difficult to travel with enough gear to keep high production values and still keep down weight and size. One of the most common things I see compromised is lighting.

Taking a cuculoris pattern isn’t practical since it adds weight, size, and requires a c-stand to be included in the package. So how do you create a lighting pattern under these conditions? We've all tried to improvise in the field, but the results are inadequate, messy, time consuming, wasteful and unprofessional.

That’s why we developed Shadowfoils. They bring a higher standard to the usual style of on-the-go lighting without sacrificing speed, space, materials, or weight.
