The Matthews Scrim and Flag Kit is a well-equipped light-shaping kit with 18 x 24" and 24 x 36" light-shaping scrims and flags of different densities, cucolorises, and a kit case.
This is a Matthews Black Single Open End Scrim (18 x 24"). The frames are made of spring steel with a 3/8" pin and support which can be used to hang the Scrim from the C Stand handle when not in use.
The two upright arms of the frame are slotted at the two open ends to retain the piano wire woven through the fabric to make up the fourth side of the frame without causing a shadow.
Open Ends are used to control or manipulate light falling on certain areas of the set or subject. They can be used to soften or reduce light without a noticeable edge. A color coded binding is used around the frame to identify the fabric. Green is single and red is double.
Open End Frames are black powder coated to minimize unwanted reflections.

Flags are square or rectangular frames with mounting pins attached. Used to control natural or artificial light. Can be used to protect the camera lens from flares, control spill light from other sources, or keep light from reaching an area on the set.
Newly designed 90° Flag frames will make it possible to position the instrument over the top of the set wall or to use two or more units to create a box for better light control.
The Cucoloris is used to create shadow patterns on backgrounds or subjects. A flatly lit wall can be broken up into interesting pools of light and shadow. Lighting directors frequently use them to simulate sunlight filtering through trees.
The 18x24" Cello Cucoloris from Matthews projects a more subtle pattern. The pattern itself depends on the distance of the light source and the distance to the background. This "cookie" has webbing on three sides to prevent injury and present a more finished look.

The 24 x 36" Black Flag from Matthews has a rectangular frame with a 3/8" top pin for mounting on a grip head. It should be noted that while the fabric covers the frame almost completely, the pin and its brace are of a bare metal, silver color. Used to control natural or artificial light, the black flag can also be used to protect the camera lens from flares, control spill light from other sources, or keep light from reaching an area on the set.
