user29439: In the making of Django Unchained, I noticed some people running behind the camera team. These people are holding something that looks like a sun blocker.
Video that shows it in use is here.
I haven't been able to confirm that or find out what this actually does.
Can anybody tell me?
Thank you!


user1950: Given the angle, I'd say it's a reflector. The line of people on the right are standing with their backs to the sun, it's probably there to bounce a bit of fill light on to their faces, so they're not silhouetted.
