Altogether, the C Stand stands alone in the wish list of absolute ‘must-haves’ for your studio. Qliq Qwip The name ‘Century Stand’ goes back to the days of motion picture production. There were no artificial light sources. No large tungsten lamps and certainly not quartz bulbs to illuminate. Just light from the sun. The film sets would revolve on platforms to assure a constant light from the sun above. Carefully positioned giant reflectors would be strategically placed to deflect the sunlight up onto the stages and thereby illuminate the scene and actors. While the reflectors were made in many sizes and shapes, the most popular was the 100 inch, or ‘century’, sized reflector. Stage assistant then created tools to aid them in the support of these 100″ reflectors and invented what we now call C Stands. The first C Stands could not adjust or swivel, but they easily nested together just as they do today. Time tested and proven as an invaluable stage property, today’s Century Stands, or C Stands, are an essential element in the image maker’s inventory of tools.
