Translucent backings

[Tony Brown]

Anyone know of a US based online library for these... ideally LA but we could transport

 

Thanks

[Mitch Gross]

Do you mean photographic skylines that can be backlit or frontlit? In the US they are known as Translights.

Thats it Mitch - I used a nightscape on a Pepsi shoot a few years ago at UA, with a single net it was extremely effective...

 

For the life of me I cant find the name of the company that supplied and rigged it....

common brands endura by eastman or older duratrans process has a large number of suppliers.

Thanks - any online galleries that you know of? Too late for this project now but useful to know for the future, not even the Art Directors seem to know!

You could do a websearch for professional photographers or city governments who may have large format photos of the city skyline you want, then have a large format transparancy made to suit your needs. Some agencies:
