any ideas what kind of reflector is it
I've been wandering around BHphoto but could find something similar to this kind of reflector panel From this video: http://vimeo.com/48426852 Vincent Peters Jan 11 15 11:11 pm Link Man, that just looks like a piece of foam board. Maybe with foil on one side. Almost any reflector will do something similar. Nothing special.

I mean, it kinda looks like the matte board reflector that goes in this Jan 12 15 12:02 am Link There are two different reflectors being used. One is a movie set reflector. that is the one on a stand, in the earlier part of the video. It is two sided, with silver on one side, and white on the other. It is designed to be used with HMI lighting. The second, which is hand held, is basically just gator foam, which you can get in white or black. Add a silver surface for additional brightness. I have used gator foam a lot, in location work. It is also much more durable, in the studio, than regular foam board. It does cost a lot more, though. It has a hard plastic surface underneath the outer skin, that makes it more rigid and more durable. It comes in different thickness.

Jan 12 15 11:18 pm Link Foam board whatever sort of black plastic something tacked onto the sides. You can see it in all of its sloppy perfection when you pause at 2:02. In this case (or any case for that matter) the reflection doesn't matter. The model does.

I would worry less about matching the exact board used in video as I would be willing to bet the photographer just uses the Matthboard on the shoot because it was what the grip company had available to rent at his location. Jan 13 15 05:12 pm Link Does anyone have a link to the finished work from that shoot online? I couldn't help but noticing that Mamiya medium format film camera was used. I think the reflector used was a foamcore board with a black paper or blackwrap foil on the other side (it may be that a white gator board glued to a black gator board) but I use Lastolite Skylite reflector frame with a black on one side and white on the other for outdoor shoot.

The silver is just too much contrast for me to achieve a natural look. It makes me have to do a lot in post. Jan 14 15 10:56 pm Link @ 1:42 -- looks like a broken or damaged edge - It might just be simple "better quality" extruded polystyrene foam insulation board - it's not colored pink or blue with printing all over it in every market as it often is in the U.S.. http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/polysty … -25mm.html http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXPANDED-POLY … 0991844997 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POLYSTYRENE-S … 1274255961 Jan 15 15 09:19 pm Link |
