Review on πŸ“· Versatile Rosco Photofoil Matte Black Cinefoil Roll - 12 inch x 10 Feet by Steven Lane

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality for film production

I work in the film industry and we use this stuff all the time. Light leaks from ARRI kits? black film Glowing green exit sign? Black Movie! Lens flare and your cameraman forgot his frosted box and the capture truck is parked 6 blocks away and you don't want a poor assistant running out in 100 degree heat to pick it up? Just wrap in black foil! For those who don't know what it is I will say that this is a very strong aluminum foil but in a matte black colour. It absorbs light and prevents it from being reflected because it's coated with a special paint/chemical that allows it to behave that way. It does NOT smoke or burn. However, there are people here who use it for grilling and grilling, and I think it's a terrible idea. The coating on it is probably not food safe and free of carcinogens and chemicals. Please do not use for eating. Buy Reynolds Heavy Duty.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Expensive
