Scrim (material)
A scrim is a woven material, either of fine or coarse material.
A scrim is a very light textile made from fiber based materials, such as yarn.
Since scrim is lightweight and translucent (allowing light to pass through), it is quite often used for making curtains. It is also used for bookbinding and upholstery.
Scrims have seen extensive use in theater.[citation needed] It is used in theater for special effects. A very common term typically used for these purposes is called sharks tooth scrim. Weaved scrim is called its name because the weave resembles a set of triangles that resemble a shark's teeth with openings similar in size to a window screen. However, in theater, a scrim can refer to any such thin screen and is made of a wide variety of materials.
The most common use of scrim is the 'reveal effect', in which an actor or scene is made to appear or disappear by using the scrim and appropriate lighting. Other common effects include sharp silhouettes, backlit from behind the scrim, or other shadow effects (shrinking and growing a shadow).
The bobbinet/bobbinette is a type of scrim that has a hexagonal hole shape and comes in a variety of hole sizes. It is used for a number of lighting effects in the film and theater industries.
Scrim is also used in clothing, usually covering the face or head. This allows the wearer to look out while preventing others from seeing in. This may also be combined with camouflage to completely hide a person, such as a sniper, hunter[better source needed], or wildlife photographer. The term "helmet scrim" refers to the practice of adorning a helmet with scrim and/or other fabrics to make its shape less obvious; the practice of adding scrim to a helmet is often done as much for reasons of perceived status as it is for reasons of actually improving camouflage. British and other forces have also made constant use of issued or privately purchased scrim fabric as a sort of improvised scarf that can be quickly converted into a face veil or similar.
A scrim was an integral part of the Beijing Olympic Stadium in Beijing. It was the screen running around the top of the stadium during the opening ceremonies on which all kinds of scenes were projected. Li Ning ran around it just before the cauldron lighting for 2008 Summer Olympics.
