Questions & Answers
It's just thick aluminum foil with a flat black color on it, so I'm not sure how well it would hold up if you sat on it.
No, air would not be able to pass through. It reminds me of a thick piece of aluminum foil.
Yes, it's epoxy-coated aluminum; however, I wouldn't use it on food because the epoxy could flake, and none of it is food-grade.
Hello, and thank you for contacting us with your inquiry. While you are correct in terms of proportion, the pandemic did have an effect on the size of the rolls produced (10 feet or 50 feet). Rosco was one of the companies that had to close for extended periods of time, and during those times when they were open, they found that producing larger runs of 50 foot rolls was the most efficient. As a result, the cost savings were passed on to the larger roll size; another factor is that a significant portion of the cost is spent on ground or air logistics and shipping to end users. On a per-foot basis, shipping 50 feet of rolls is less expensive than shipping 10 feet. We hope we were able to provide you with a satisfactory response to your query.

Light leaks from ARRI kits? I work in the film industry, and we use this all of the time. Wrap it up in a black blanket. Is there a glowing green exit sign? That's wrapped in black! Your DP forgot his matte box, the grip truck is parked 6 blocks away, and you don't want to send a poor PA running in the 100-degree heat to get it? Just wrap it in black! br>br>For those who don't know what this is, it's a matte black version of very heavy-duty aluminum foil. Because it is coated with a special paint or chemical that allows it to behave in this way, it absorbs light and prevents it from bouncing. It will not smoke or catch fire. br>br>However, some people here are grilling and BBQing with it, which I think is a bad idea. It's likely that the coating on this isn't food-grade or free of carcinogens and chemicals. It should not be used to eat with. Go out and purchase some Reynold's Heavy Duty.
This stuff is ridiculously light. It can bend indefinitely without cracking or breaking while weighing less than aluminum of the same thickness! What kind of scientific enchantment is this? This was purchased to serve as a windscreen for my backpacking cook setup. It outperforms everything I've tried so far, and it's lighter than most Titanium windscreens! I'm not sure how, but the Cinefoil comes out on top. To store it in my cook pot, I unfold and refold it after each use. I wasn't thrilled about having to buy an entire roll, but I'm glad I did because I'll be using this for a long time; in fact, I'm still using my original piece after a few months. So far, everything has gone well! br>br>Summary: br>br> Purchase this item if you intend to use it as a windscreen for your cook pot. It is a decision you will not be sorry for making. My windscreen is way too big, but it only weighs a tenth of an ounce. The Cinefoil is almost as heavy as the paper clips I'm using.
Cinefoil as a solution comes to mind whenever I think of a problem with photography that I might encounter on a job; there are so many applications for it. You can use it as a flag or a grid, and it will provide shade over your lenses. It's also re-usable! There are a lot of options. It's a bit pricey, but the good news is that you can keep it and use it again and again.
I've been using this stuff for a long time, but I finally ran out. Mostly used for snooting small items on location, particularly food shots. It works great because you can bend it to fit your needs for each shot. You can make the snoot very small and pinpoint for portraits or larger for hair/rimlighting. In a lighting kit bag or camera bag, it takes up very little space. I just keep a few pieces in my bag for a couple of strobes; if you're careful, you can bend the foil several times without breaking it, then flatten it for storage. Nothing works as well as this, and no custom modifiers are as useful or portable as this. It's fantastic!.
The product is overpriced and poorly packaged. For $29, you can get the entire 25' roll in a dispenser. There's no box, and it's a baloney size.
Cinefoil is a filmmaking equivalent of duck tape - When it comes to lighting, you can make it do pretty much whatever you want. Because of its ability to handle heat, the foil works well with tungsten lighting.
Thank you for the nice, high-quality product!.
