Bounce boards and reflectors are flat surfaces that reflect light onto a subject or a scene. They can be made of different materials, such as foam, cardboard, metal, or fabric, and have different colors and finishes, such as white, silver, gold, or matte.
In the bustling world of film production, grips are the unsung heroes keeping the cameras rolling smoothly.
In essence, grips are problem-solvers.
