Bead Board / Black Foam Core
A Bead Board / Black Foam Core is a versatile, lightweight tool used in film, video, and photography to bounce and absorb light. It consists of a sheet of beadboard (polystyrene foam) with one side covered in a black material and the other side left white. The black form core side is used to absorb light, create shadows and control light spill, while the white side offers a softer, diffused bounce.
