Matthews Matthews Hollywood 40In. Double Riser C Stand – Chrome Light Stands

The Hollywood 40″ Double Riser C Stand With Sliding Leg Includes Grip Head & Arm. Century Stands Or “C” Stands Are An Important Component In The Image Maker’S Arsenal Of Tools. The Term “Century Stand” Goes Back To The Early Days Of Motion Picture Production. Before The Introduction Of Artificial Lighting, The Stages Would Revolve To Allow For Continuous Overhead Lighting From The Sun. Large Reflectors Would Be Positioned To Bounce Back Or Kick The Overhead Light Up Onto The Stage And Illuminate The Set And Actors. These Reflectors Were Made In Many Sizes, But It Seems The Most Popular Was The 100 Inch Or “Century” Sized Reflector.
