The Rosco E276 Blackout is a new gel color by Rosco that is black and opaque. It absorbs light really well and is waterproof. This article discusses the many different uses for it, which include blocking light from windows, creating negative fill, and casting shadows. It seems like a very useful and versatile lighting modifier. However, I would want to know more about the cost and sizes it comes in before I used it on set. There are plenty of opaque black materials in the world, and although, as this article points out, this gel is waterproof, which gives it a clear advantage over other light blocking materials, that advantage may be outweighed by the cost of this material in large enough quantities to do what this article recommends. Blocking light from windows can be done with any opaque black material. Similarly, shadows can be cast with easy to acquire natural materials like tree branches or even scrapwood. Rosco E276 Blackout might be a useful material, but I struggle to see why it’s really needed.
