Description
Sharkstooth gauze or scrim allows you to play with light and open up a world of dreams and illusions in your show. The right light adjustments projected on this fabric can make your performers appear and disappear like magic. This classic theatre sharkstooth scrim (or sharkstooth gauze) can also be used as a projection surface, large speaker gauze or for exhibition stands.
THE RIGHT LIGHTING CREATES MAGIC
Scrim will become opaque when lit at a sharp angle in front of a scene that’s kept dark. As the area behind the scrim gets lighter, the scene will “bleed through” and appear. When light is taken off the scrim, it will become virtually invisible.
Scrims both reflect and transmit light. When only front- or sidelit, a scrim will appear opaque if everything behind is unlit. A scrim will become almost transparent if a scene behind it is lit, but the scrim itself remains unlit. A combination of both lighting the scrim (or project images on it) and lighting the scene behind can create a foggy 3D scene. Using double layers of scrims creates a “moiré” effect.
