Hi all. Looking for the screen that goes behind talent to prevent the background from blowing out. Just cant think of the name to look for it on the Web....diffusion screen?...scrim...oi :)

p.s. doesn't have to be a premade piece....rather make it myself to my own dimensions.
 
Those materials are usually mounted on an overhead or butterfly frame.

Here is a link to a single-density scrim used for knocking down the light.
 
The reverand John Jackman (Guru of lighting from DV.com and Videography Magazine) indicated that rather than buying expensive silks for blowing out windows he'll buy cheap black gauz fabric from a local fabric store. Cost is minimal and it's nearly invisible on the screen but it will knock down the window levels by quite a bit. Better yet, since it's cheap you can cut and tape it to fit without real impact on the wallet.
