Cucoloris

A Cuculores (also Chichi, mask holes ) is in film production a thin, black plastic or wooden board of about 80 x 120 cm which is used to create intricate lighting effects. For this purpose, the board of numerous forms are cut out, the. Negative shade of deciduous trees, or the like correspond. The Cuculores is mounted on a tripod near a headlamp and then produces vivid spots of light in the scene. From Gobo it differs mainly by the size.

The Cuculores is particularly important for interior scenes that look very fake, if only the flat light of the normal headlight was used. Here arises the problem that the natural play of light in an interior ( for example, the incidence of light through a window) is too dark to be sufficient as lighting for a scene. The used to lighten artificial light is so strong that it covers the natural lighting effects. Therefore, it is necessary to recreate the natural light with the help of additional headlights, so that the desired lighting effects are stronger than the brightening light and therefore remain visible in the film. Therefore, a Cuculores must be used with a particularly powerful lights in addition. This is known as effect lighting.
