Cucoloris
Flags
A Cucoloris (“cookie”) is used to create shadow patterns on backgrounds or subjects. A flatly lit wall can be broken up into textured pools of light and shadow to either simulate realism or craft a stylized environment. Lighting directors frequently use them to imitate sunlight filtering through trees.
There are several different types of cookies, each providing different effects, and the resulting pattern itself depends on the distance of the cookie to both the light source and the background.
| Cucoloris Type | Description | Flag Sizes Available | Overhead Sizes Available |

| Wood Cucoloris "Cookie" | The wood cucoloris gives a distinctive pattern as the light passes through the cut outs with full intensity and is cut completely everywhere else. | 18x24, 2x3, 4x4 | NA |
| Cello Cucoloris "Cookie" | The cello cucoloris projects a more subtle pattern than the wooden type due to the varied texture. | 18x24, 2x3, 4x4 | NA |
