SCENE 01 / LIGHTING MODIFIERS
Lighting Modifiers
Professional light shaping tools for your Colombian production.
Lighting modifiers shape, diffuse, and control the quality of light on set. Softboxes, scrims, gels, flags, and diffusion frames transform raw fixture output into the nuanced illumination that cinematographers need to create depth, mood, and natural-looking light in any scene.
We provide access to comprehensive lighting modifier packages including diffusion materials, color correction gels, and light-shaping tools. Our team sources these accessories from local suppliers and coordinates delivery alongside your lighting fixtures, ensuring your grip and electric departments have everything needed on set.

Light-shaping textiles, frames, and flags from Reel Films and Cinetech grip stock
Here is what we have to work with. Lighting modifier rental in Colombia draws from Reel Films' grip warehouse and Cinetech Bogota's textile cage, with LaBu Films and 5.1 Cine providing overflow capacity for large overhead builds. Our team books the full Lite Grid stack — 8x8, 12x12, 20x20, and 30x30 frames in Westcott Scrim Jim and Matthews configurations — paired with Magic Cloth, 1/4 grid cloth, 1/2 grid cloth, full grid cloth, Hilite, and Ultrabounce 4x4 through 20x20.
Soft sources for SkyPanel S60 and S120 fixtures get DoPchoice Snapbag Octa 5 and 7, Snapgrids in 40/50/60 degree splits, and the Light Mover modular kits that have become the Colombian commercial standard. Chinaballs in 22-inch and 30-inch sizes ship for Cartagena Walled City alley fills and Bogota La Candelaria practicals, with Lightbulb pole rigs sized for the colonial-balcony heights that telenovela DPs at RCN and Caracol use weekly.
Flag and negative-fill stock anchors the contrast control side of the package. Matthews and Avenger floppy flag sets in 18x24, 24x36, and 4x4 ship with the standard solid, single net, double net, and silk options, plus the Cinetech full duvetyn cuts for Walled City night exteriors where ambient bounce from limestone facades has to be killed at the camera-side.
Reel Films stages the heavy overhead grip — 20x20 butterfly frames with combo stands and overhead arms, Big Bens, and the Current Studios 24x24 rigs — for Tayrona beach exteriors and La Guajira desert dawn pulls where wind speed past 25 km/h adds sandbag-loading time. Bogota-hub turnaround stays fast because Reel Films and Cinetech share the same Calle 80 industrial corridor, so a missing 12x12 Magic Cloth on day two of a Chapinero shoot lands at base camp inside 90 minutes. Cross-rental to Medellin's AndaluCine, Cali's Casa Productora gear, or Cartagena's Camara y Accion runs through the same coordinator.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What softbox brands do you carry?
We stock softboxes from Chimera, DoPchoice, Snapbag, and others in sizes from small on-camera units to large 8x8 and beyond. DoPchoice Snapbags and Snapgrids are particularly popular for their speed of setup.
What sizes of diffusion frames do you have?
We carry frames from 4x4 feet through 20x20 feet in various configurations. Standard sizes include 4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 12x12, and 20x20. We stock multiple diffusion types for each size.
What diffusion materials are available?
We offer a full range including 1/4, 1/2, full, and double diffusion, plus grid cloths, muslin, and specialty materials. Each provides different softness and light transmission characteristics.
Do you provide reflectors and bounce?
Yes, we have shiny boards (mirrors), beadboards, foam core, Griffolyn, and specialty reflective materials. Bounce is essential for adding fill and redirecting light, especially on location.
What about flags and negative fill?
We carry complete flag sets including solids, cutters, and nets in all standard sizes. Black materials like duvetyn are available for negative fill, which is crucial for creating contrast.
Can you provide large overhead setups?
Yes, we supply complete butterfly and overhead systems including frames, textiles, and all necessary rigging. Large overheads are essential for soft ambient light on exteriors and large interior spaces.
